Fantastic!

A little bit surprised they did not line up the CD season colors the same as the DVD/Blu Rays. Maybe I am just being OCD about things :laugh:. Looks like an awesome set, I to am Orion Green with Envy.  ;)

Wow - good catch Jeff.  I didn't even notice that.  Could be a future trivia question - hehe.  DVD set goes gold, blue, red.  Music CD set goes gold, red, blue.

Well, I did end up getting the set.  I got a raise at work and was able to justify that way.  It's great...something I've wanted since I was a kid.  I do wish the tracks were in stereo.  I know they wanted to keep them in their original mono without using digital tricks to fake the stereo, but the Beatles recordings were originally in mono and sound great in stereo.  And the shows were in mono and are now in Surround 7.1.  I'm not a sound expert though, so I don't know how all that works. 

I've heard you mention, Rico, that you're a big fan of Basil Poledouris and his Conan soundtracks.  I am too.  "Conan the Barbarian" is one of my all-time favorite scores.  Did you notice in the booklet for season 2 there's a picture of Basil in a red shirt from "The Obsession"?  I wouldn't have know what he looks like, but the description of the picture mentioned that it was him.  I thought that was a cool bit of Trek trivia that I'd never heard before.  Here's a link to his entry on memory-alpha if you want to see the pic:
