So here's something potentially interesting. Listening to and reading about the soundtrack I discovered that Harrison's [;)] music isn't on the soundtrack - and it's a pretty damn good piece of music.

I then discovered that the music in the bar when Kirk calls up Scotty is different based on release territory. I just checked my Itunes files and the two versions [theatrical / commentary] indeed have different backing songs during that scene. - they sound similar with different lyrics [different performers] - I think the tune was written by Abrams.

I wonder what the odds are of compiling all versions of that scene?

Correct, Abrams did write that one. :) I, uh, actually have all those extra regional releases of the bar song EXCEPT the Brazilian one by Ceu (which pisses me off because that's the one I wanted most). I can upload those too, I suppose... XD

My hope was that Varese Sarabande would be releasing a deluxe edition of the STID soundtrack like with the 2009 movie and that the extra stuff, including "Ode to Harrison" would be on it. Still haven't heard a peep about it though. :(
