If money is an issue by any chance, you might want to take it slow. I might be in the minority on this, but I happen to think you got the very cream of Irwin Allen music when you bought the La La Land set.
GNP's LIS Volume 2 (not a Williams CD) gradually became an acquired taste for me, but it's not up to the JW standard and is far less essential IMO. And again IMO-- others will disagree-- the scores from LAND OF THE GIANTS and TIME TUNNEL are a distant second to LIS.
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA has more fan support if I'm not mistaken, but without having seen the show you're taking a chance.
The FWOIA bonus disc is a curio for people who loved the TV shows, which I think you've said wasn't you. It includes a lot of interviews and a big collection of sci-fi sound fx from the four series.
For more LIS, if you're in love with the sample of JW's "My Friend Mr Nobody," you could seek out GNP's LIS Volume 3, which has that whole score plus the "classic 1950s sci-fi" sounding score from LIS "The Derelict." Note that Volume 3 is not included in the FWOIA box set. It came out later, packaged as "LIS Volume 3, FWOIA Volume VII" to match the boxed titles.

In hommage to this thread and the set itself, I believe I shall listen to the title theme highlights on the bonus disc.

Hmm... I don't think there's been any official re-release from any other label. An unauthorized release maybe ?
In the label's site it says zyx-GNP as label:
http://www.zyx.de/Musik/Soundtrack/The-Fantasy-World-of-I.Allen-7036.html
also there are other zyx-GNP titles:
http://www.zyx.de/Labels-36.htm+/l_id/41
Maybe they are affiliated with GNP somehow?
Ahhhh OK. So I guess they're the international distributor perhaps. Looks like the same content, why not go ahead and pull the trigger on it !
Maybe I will, but I would like to see first if anyone has it to hear opinions..
If anything is missing, eg. the liner notes (I would like those)

I have the ZYX set, and excepting the ZYX logos, it's identical to the GNP set. ZYX is a European licensor which has also issued some of Ian Anderson's (Jethro Tull) stuff. I've never noticed any issues with my FWIA set that would cause me concern.
And, of course, the ZYX set is in print and much cheaper.

You helped me make up my mind. For now I'll buy LIS Volume 3, and when I get paid later this week I'll buy the set from amazon.com for $90. Thanks again!
