Man I love the 2 CD TMP as just the most perfect presentation of the score and an obvious labor of love. But the 3 CD was 1) historic and 2) still has some goodies that I will never part with.

 

I ultimately traded in my 3 CD set once I got the 2 CD set, and it was because of my preference for the trimmed presentation.

 

The extras are an absolute goldmine, however I did not listen to them much after the first couple of times. Differences in the mixing / mastering etc. are very subtle but excellent.

 

A part of me regrets trading it in, but it is still the best decision for curating my collection.

 

It also means that someone else can discover the fantastic music and this release, and that warms my icy-cold heart.

Take those stickers off the Star Trek jewel case @Bespin  .  It makes it look like you ripped off a library copy. 

 

Well I did!

Agreed. The current shenanigans at WB made me regard this set as a miracle all over again.

Don't forget the Lethal Weapon box set as well, getting one box set of multiple films is incredibly lucky, but two, now that's a miracle. Hopefully once things settle down at WB in a year or two they'll be more open to doing expansions again.

[Jay 37,373]

So crazy that there has not been a non-Varese, non-reissue specialty label title licensed from Warners since The Swarm and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which both came out over 3 years ago now.

[Andy 4,141]

The drought has gone on long enough!

[Jay 37,373]

At least they were one of the first to open up to the specialty labels, so a ton of their big scores have already been expanded nicely

[mstrox 6,651]

Maybe the more times the company is sold, the more likely they’ll forget about their beef with Goldenthal.

That photo is a great showcase of how spoilt we score fans have been over the past 25-odd years (considering other specialty labels as well such as FSM - wouldn't they be celebrating 25 years if they were still active?)

[Jay 37,373]

FSM's first release was in 1996 so their 25th anniversary was 2021.

 

Of course they stopped releasing albums after 2013 so its different than an active label celebrating anniversaries.

[Yavar Moradi 2,603]

Technically their final release (not counting Lukas’s momentary “revival” of the label for Sky Figher) was The Wild Bunch, put out in March 2013:

That said, their last few releases really came out in a slow trickle and took longer than expected.

"The John Williams"?  

 

In English you don't put the article "The" before the subject, right? Unless when the subject is not something followed by the "The", like in "The John Williams music" or "The John Williams career", correct?

[Jurassic Shark 12,091]

It's supposed to read as THE John Williams.

Maybe he forgot to add Maestro.

Any buckeye will very annoyingly tell you that they went to THE Ohio State University.  This is kind of like that.

In the case of those two, it would read:

"the music of John Williams" or 

"John Williams' music" and

 

"the career of John Williams", or 

"John Williams' career.

As opposed to THE OTHER John Williams (the one with the guitar).

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

I thought THE John Williams was the one with the guitar. Is this not a fan site for the guitarist?

"The" before a name can be used to convey extra significance and importance and uniquness. Think of it as bolded and emphasized: THE John Williams will be joining us today! But yes, usually "The" does not precede a name. 

[Ollie 1,059]

Damn, I didn’t realize TLW was temporary out of stock again. I wanted to take advantage of the 21% sale.

[Laserschwert 475]

Wasn't it JUST established that it's just "Lost World"?

[Ollie 1,059]

Truthfully I don’t care. But it clearly says “The” on the CD. 

[mstrox 6,651]

?????? There’s a “the” on the posters, video, DVD, CDs, etc.

A Lost World?

Me:

 

[Ollie 1,059]

Clearly I’m not paying enough attention to the whole conversation within the thread. 
 

My bad.

[Marian Schedenig 8,211]

The lost world, as opposed to the one by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I don't know if I should hope for upcoming LLL releases to be important to me or not... zero backlog left again after this sale...

[DangerMotif 1,038]

Second title is a joke

[Edmilson 7,473]

LB seems willing to release all 14 hours of music he wrote for M: I 7 and please his fans.

 

If only a certain composer whose name rhymes with Sohn Billiams was willing to do the same...

[Jay 37,373]

Spock with a goatee always make me chuckle

[crocodile 8,019]

So this Dead Reckoning album is basically the bonus material from what they released digitally the other week? Either way, I might pick it up along with BF releases.

 

Karol 

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Glad for that new Star Trek release. If this LB album sells well and keep LLL in business well good otherwise I have to say it's a bit much

[Dr. Rick 1,157]

Well my wallet is safe until BF lol

[bollemanneke 3,352]

Does that mean no STar Trek for BF? I hope it does.

[Richard Penna 3,695]

Balfe's M:I scores must be selling very well for LLL for them to be doing releases like this.

 

Actually, both must be because I've lost count of how many Trek releases they've done now.

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

List of Star Trek scores:

1. Star Trek: The Complete Original Series Boxset (15CD)
2. Star Trek: Enterprise, vol. 1 (4CD)
3. Star Trek: Enterprise, vol. 2 (4CD)
4. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, vol. 1 (4CD)
5. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, vol. 2 (4CD)
6. Star Trek: Voyager, vol. 1 (4CD)
7. Star Trek: Voyager, vol. 2 (4CD)
8. Star Trek: Next Generation, vol. 1 (3CD)
9. Star Trek: Next Generation, vol. 2 (3CD)
10. Star Trek: The Motion Picture (3CD)
11. Star Trek: The Motion Picture (2CD)
12. Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (2CD)
13. Star Trek: The Final Frontier (2CD)
14. Star Trek 50th Anniversary (4CD)
15. Star Trek: The Final Frontier Collection (4CD)
16. Star Trek: The Original Series, vol. 1 (2CD)
17. Star Trek: The Original Series, vol. 2 (2CD)
18. Star Trek: The Original Series, vol. 3 (2CD)

So that's 18 sets and 66 CDs. That's a lot of them

[Jurassic Shark 12,091]

Too many notes.

[mstrox 6,651]

Someday somebody will crack it and write a good Star Trek score.  Until then, you have to admire their perseverance.

[Jurassic Shark 12,091]

Imagine 66 CDs of Star Wars scores.
