Search And Restore

Film Score Monthly and Screen Archives Entertainment are following up last year's expanded score of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan by doing the same for James Horner’s work on Star Trek III: The Search for Spock score

The original release of the Star Trek III score was on a single 43-minute LP/cassette. The FSM edition is on 2 CDs , both newly mastered from recording engineer Dan Wallin's first-generation digital film mixes.

Disc one features the complete score as intended for the film itself, including such long-desired cues as “Grissom Destroyed,” “A Fighting Chance to Live” (featuring the Enterprise’s self-destruct countdown and immolation in Genesis’s atmosphere) and “Genesis Destroyed.” In addition, previously unreleased film versions of cues such as “Klingons” and “Stealing the Enterprise” make their premiere, with differences that are subtle but noticeable to devoted fans.

Disc two features a recreation (in better sound quality) of the familiar LP sequence—complete with GROUP 87’s pop version of “The Search for Spock.”

There's also a 20-page booklet that features liner notes....
