You have it?! I want more words on its impressiveness!
For those that don't know, that's the limited edition set of every piece of music recorded for TOS, including stuff they didn't use!
Well I just finished disk number one. This includes "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The fidelity is leaps and bounds better then the GNP Crescendo release. Gone are the audio flutters and hiss that had cursed that set. The music here is bright, powerful, and very crisp. These recordings sound as if they could have been tracked yesterday! It took me over four months to break the shrink-wrap on this baby, as I wanted to be in the right state of mind to absorb and appreciate the sonic picture I knew it would invoke. The liner-notes are also top notch and very informative and well written. You can tell that these guys who produced this set are true trek fans. There is so much respect given to the layout and amound of extra content. The extra content is on disk five of each seasons five CD Jewel box. Now in the morning I am going to listen to disk two, and it contains "The Man Trap" and "The Naked Time". I'm especially looking forward to "The Man Trap" as this is it's first release. The sound of the instrument used for the salt creature theme (an electric violin) had always sent chills up my spine. The first season's third version of the Main Titles (The pilots each used different versions) also used this instrument, and it gave the theme a very 1960's psychedelic feel. This is a real treat guys, and I am so glad they took the time to create such a wonderful set for the fans. It's taken me straight off to intergalactic La La Land at warp speed! *Mind Blown*
