I got this messaeg from GEnie. If you collect the Trek soundtracks, it might be of interest..... Category 22, Topic 5 Message 18 Thu May 09, 1991 SM [Music @ 135] (Forwarded) Oooookay, hopefully this message will not be too trashed by the sick node I'm getting stuck with these days.... This is news ahead of time, subject to possible change or delay, but it's good news: First of all, it's official -- GNP/Crescendo will be releasing a second TNG disc, and it's the music (as surmised) from, "Best Of Both Worlds" parts one and two (the third disc, if and when it happens, may be more general than the first two; it's blue-skied right now.) Availability: June 7th/8th 1991. They're aiming to coincide with the 25th anniversary bash. The disc will be annotated as usual, with every attempt to make this the best package they've done yet. By mail the price is $12.95 + $3 postage for the CD, $8.95 + postage for cassette. However.... ALSO coming from GNP/Crescendo on the same date: STAR TREK - "Original Soundtracks from "The Doomsday Machine" and "Amok Time". This is a single disc set of original Trek music by Sol Kaplan and Jerome Freed. They turned up the two-track first-generation masters and basically fine-tuned them for CD release. I'm told that every available means was used to produce a terrific disc and that the results blow the album from "The Cage"/"The Menagerie" into the abyss. This will also be available for $12.95 +#$ $3 postage, $8.95 cassette. CA residents include 7% state tax. BUT WAIT ... there's more....! GNP/Crescendo is also attempting to get the rights to the ST6 soundtrack album. I hope they do -- they do good stuff. Plans for the future include the long-awaited MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE album, not to mention reissues of their jazz line and another Neil Norman album. By the way, they're always open to suggestions as to what they should look into acquiring for release. The address is GNP/Crescendo Record Co., 8400 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90069. And, yes, they know about Peter David's VENDETTA (which makes a connection between the Borg and the Doomsday Machine.) Mind you, they didn't know until I happened to mention it to them.... <g> >>>>>>SteveB Well, I know I'm gonna order them! :-) -- "The needs of the many... -David Stumme outweigh...the needs of the few." das1417@ritvax.bitnet "Or the one." das1417@ultb.isc.rit.edu -- Spock & Kirk (in STII: TWOK) Grenadier @ QuantumLink -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Griffith /--OO--\ | Two great powers are on our side: the power of griffith@dweeb.fx.com | Love and the power of Arithmetic.
