They should rerelease an expanded Star Trek III with the at least the two missing cues, "The Destruction of the Enterprise" and "Escape from the Genesis Planet." And with that last track removed and banished to the deeper recesses of the earth. Also there might even be more that they cut out, who knows.

It would have been TERRIBLY expensive for them to expand the album, I'm sure -- ditto STAR TREK II (in that case, as I recall, the CD *IS* the same as the original LP.)

Not that I wouldn't welcome expansions.

Also, the bag pipe music for Spocks funeral !!!

Has anyone emailed GNP Crescendo and asked them about this yet?

Actually, I kinda like the pop version of ST III that was included. Call it a bit of 80's indulgence.........
Does anyone have the pop version of ST:TMP that was done by Bob James that was included in the LP version of the score? That's kinda neat, too.

NP-Hocus Pocus

I emailed GNP about this last year and they apparently have no new Trek movie albums planned currently.

BUT we also need reissues of several other Trek scores:
ST:TMP - I know, I know, it's 65 whole minutes, but the full score runs about 110. We're at just over half - some of the unreleased cues comprise the best music of the score (ie Meet Vejur, scored exclusively for pipe organ) as well as several fascinating alternates.

ST5: sorely in need a reissue after its tragically short album release.

ST:FC - missing several big set pieces, especially the 8 minute Flight of the Phoenix.

Also... Flight of the Phoenix is eight minutes? The track I have runs 6:26... and it appears to be the entire sequence.

I'm in for the other expanded Star Trek scores, too. And when we're already talking about expanded scores, I'd love to see an expanded (and re-sequenced) Jurassic Park, too. The only track I can remember now that's missing is the T-Rex car chase, but I think that would already be worth it.

About that 'Amazing Grace'...... did anyone notice that a Vulcan (Lt. Savek) was CRYING, thus capable/showing emotions. Back in those days you were shunned on Vulcan for that trait. Expelled..... an outcast you where.
Who's the script editor who screwed up?

Wouldn't mind a complete expanded edition on DVD also, with alternates. Horner had a lot of alternates before he came up with his new and stylistic opening track for ST II. I'd like to know how he got to that.

Peace with the Romulan Empire has to this stardate (Insurrection) not yet been established. Only a non-agression treaty.... a "cease fire" of sorts. The Romulans still despise the Federation. The Neutral Zone still exists! (ST:FC "We are ordered to patrol the Neutral Zone. In case the Romulans try to take advantage of the situation")
So I find that hard to digest that at the time when the Federation was at war with both the Romulan Empire and the Klingon Empire that they allow a part Vulcan/part Romulan/part Human officer in Starfleet!!! Think of the ramifications that it would have..... Lt. Savek a traitor (in light of ST VI THAT would make sense!!!) But no, not at that time. The Federation of that time was very discriminative of who it considered to be worth of the Federation. They were a bit xenofobic....

And in STTNG "Unification" Spock first tries to bring both the Vulcan and their genetic siblings The Romulans together..... and fails in part.
Also The Enterprise C under command of Captain Rachell Garret was destroyed by a fleet of attacking Romulan warbirds.
So hostilities between the Federation and the Romulan Empire still remained and remain... (STDS9 -The Romulans decide to join the Federation in their battle against the Founders)

So Savek is actually a product of a logic Vulcan and an illogical Romulan... It does not add up.

BTW: I am a Trekkie and I do try to study Federation law and history at my own time.

No Savek was a full blooded Vulcan. Spock himself was a bastard and considered an outcast on Vulcan. The whole Vulcan society saw the shame in that and a merger between "illogical" beings was not permitted as it would disturb the serenity of The Vulcan social structure. Spock himself was never considered to be truly "one of the family" as he himself pointed that fact out countless of times.

Saavik was raised on Vulcan. I don't remember how she came to be concieved but I don't think her father was around after that.

What happened in STNG is not germane to this discussion because all this was written years before Unification. I am aware of all the other points that you raise as well, but if she was, she was there!

Maybe a slip up on the part of section 31, but what can you do?

Spock was not considered an outcast as an adult. He was estranged from his father becuase he defied him and joined Star Fleet instead of the Science Academy. (ref Journey to Babel) His example encourage others of his people to join and it was that made well respected and a "Legend" according to his wife T'pring. (ref Amok Time) That is why by the time of TNG it is Ambassador Spock, not Cursed, Exiled Spock

It seems that aside from #1 and #2, all the Trek movies are available on DVD. I'll have to get #6 and #8 sooner or later, don't know about #4 (which I love as well, but I don't know if I actually need it on DVD). #2 could be my favourite (it's Moby-Dick in space, after all! ), so I'd love to see that one released.

Oh, and good to hear that that piece is on the Trek 3 album!
