In 2010,Varèse Sarabande released a greatly expanded 5000-copy limited edition album of the score entitledStar Trek: The Deluxe Edition. Now out of print, the album features many previously unreleased cues, including ones for the fight on the drill and Spock's attempt to save his mother. In addition, there was an accident in the printing of the deluxe edition's CD booklet. A completely different list of orchestra player names was printed by accident, instead of the group that actually performed the score for the film. A correct listing of the orchestra players who actually performed the score can be found, properly credited and listed, in the booklet that came with the original one-disc edition of the soundtrack. In 2019,Varèse Sarabande issued a 1500 limited edition reissue.[4]
