Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Original Soundtrack 2XLP

The pressing is dead quiet between tracks, and Jerry Goldsmith’s score really shines on vinyl—the deep brass on the Klingon theme sounds incredible. I’ve been playing side two on repeat all weekend.

The Director’s Edition on double vinyl gives the overture so much room to breathe, and the surface noise is practically nil even on the quiet passages. The gatefold feels sturdy, and the pressing has that deep, warm tone that makes the opening flyby scene hit harder every time.

The pressing is dead quiet and the Jerry Goldsmith score just soars on vinyl, especially the opening fanfare. The Director’s Edition cues flow beautifully across the two LPs and the Mondo presentation looks stunning on the shelf.
