The soundtrackfor Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of those soundtracks that I have listened to about a million times. The score by the late James Horner is just perfect.

I owned this on vinyl the first time around and now I have to get it again because Mondo is releasing the score on limited edition vinyl. It looks stunning, with new art by Matt Taylor. This includes the extended score, with some new moments that didn’t make it in before. Here is the track listing:

01. Main Title (3:06)

02. Surprise on Ceti Alpha V (0:45)

03. Khan’s Pets (4:19)

04. The Eels of Ceti Alpha V / Kirk in Space Shuttle (3:53)

05. Enterprise Clears Moorings (3:33)

06. Chekov Lies (0:40)

07. Spock (1:12)

08. Kirk Takes Command / He Tasks Me (2:07)

09. Genesis Project (3:16)

10. Surprise Attack (5:07)

11. Kirk’s Explosive Reply (4:01)

12. Inside Regula I (1:35)

13. Brainwashed (1:24)

14. Captain Terrell’s Death (1:58)

15. Buried Alive (0:57)

16. The Genesis Cave (1:09)

17. Battle In The Mutara Nebula (8:07)

18. Enterprise Attacks Reliant (1:29)

19. Genesis Countdown (6:34)

23. Epilogue (Original Version) / End Title (7:29)

I would own it for the art alone, but the music with the art? This is a no-brainer. It goes on sale January 13 at mondotees.com for $35. You can’t beat that price either.
