I've just gotten off the phone with GNP Crescendo in Hollywood.
I asked them about the release of their Star Trek Volume III
episode soundtracks, which have been rumored here on the net 
for months.
 
It seems that the CDs are all ready to go, except they're being
held up by Paramount -- apparently, the necessary legal stuff
(licensing, cover photos, etc.) is the only hurdle left to go.
Unfortunately, GNP doesn't expect that to happen until late
August.
 
The TOS Volume III will contain original soundtrack music from
Shore Leave and The Naked Time.
 
For those who don't know, Volume I contains original soundtrack
music from The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before, and Volume
II from The Doomsday Machine and Amok Time.
 
I didn't ask about their forthcoming TNG Volume III soundtrack.
The rumor here on the net is that it will contain music from
The Unification.  I suspect that the two Volume III's will be
released simultaneously, although that's just speculation on my
part.
 
For those who don't know, TNG Volume I contains music from 
Encounter at Farpoint, and TNG Volume II contains music from
Best of Both Worlds.
 
And finally, also for those who don't know, some other bits of
soundtrack information:
 
1.  GNP also produces the CD soundtracks to ST II and ST III, as
    well as the TOS Sound Effects CD.
 
2.  GNP sells each of these disks for $12.95, plus a $3 shipping
    charge per order.  (Buy all seven -- soon to be nine -- at
    once and save a bundle!)
 
3.  GNP does NOT produce the soundtracks which have been available
    in the past to The Paradise Syndrome, Is There In Truth No 
    Beauty?, Conscience of the King, Spectre of the Gun, I, Mudd,
    and The Enemy Within.  These are produced by Label X in 
    Walnut Creek, California.  These are not original soundtracks,
    but rather re-recordings from original scores, but they are
    worth getting nonetheless.

4.  GNP also does NOT produce the soundtracks to Charlie X, Mudd's
    Women, The Corbomite Maneuver, Mirror, Mirror, The Empath, THe
    Trouble With Tribbles, and By Any Other Name, which have also
    been available, like those mentioned above, as re-recordings
    from the original scores (under the direction of Fred Steiner,
    the original composer).  These are produced by Varese Sarabande,
    and are likewise worth getting.
