Star Trek V expanded score 11/30!!

[Therin of Andor]

an improvement upon the original soundtrack album (that was never released on CD, though, correct?).

I have TMP soundtrack on LP, cassette and (bought in December 2001 on a US vacation) CD. Then I also bought the expanded anniversary version on CD as a pre-order with Amazon, so I could have it within days of US release.

Sorry to bump this thread after 5 weeks, but I was listening to the Star Trek V main title the other day, and wondered "what it would sound like if it had the Shatner narration on it?" Turns out, it sounds just like https://files.me.com/toxiccrayon/ky0xdo.movTHIS.

Except that the 20th Anniversary Edition doesn't come close to being a complete release. It's not even close to filling the 79 minutes that could fit on the CD. That's why I don't include it.

It comes a lot closer than the original soundtrack album did. Still, I'd forgotten how much it excluded until I checked the cue list in The Music of Star Trek. Most of it is brief bits under a minute, but there are a few more substantial omissions.

I really need to pick up that book sometime. I like the release, but I'm not sure it needed an expanded version of the Inside Star Trek album. I'd have preferred a second disc of Goldsmith's score (or, at least, a full first disc).

Still, it is definitely an improvement upon the original soundtrack album (that was never released on CD, though, correct?).

It was, back in 1986. I bought it exactly one week before the expanded version came out in 1999. I was VERY annoyed.

If it hadn't been for the inclusion of Inside Star Trek, which I needed to replace my old, scratched record, I might still have the 1986 CD.
