An essential Trek Soundtrack But....

This score for The Wrath of Khan is just as stirring as Goldsmith's work on The Motion Picture; and even Williams' work on Star Wars, Superman, and Indiana Jones.
But why is there no expanded soundtrack of the film available on iTunes? Why is there no original or expanded soundtrack of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock available here? Why are none of the expanded soundtracks for those first six Trek movies available here?
To not have these expanded scores for the Trek movies is impractical; and to quote a legendary Vulcan: "Highly illogical."
Horner was the best

This is a magnificent soundtrack. Never fails to lift me up.
That said...
Why doesn't iTunes carry Star Trek: The Search for Spock? It is an AMAZING soundtrack!
One of the best albums ever

I had this album when I was in middle school. So glad that find it as a digital download. One of the best soundtracks ever.
Brilliant.

The insrumentals here are sweeping and grandiose, keeping the iconic Star Trek leitmotifs while expanding on them in fascinating, stirring ways. I wish iTunes had the full soundtrack to this movie, but these 9 tracks are absolutely wonderful. Listening to this soundtrack never fails to be inspiring.
Missing track???

RIP James Horner
As noted, this is an abridged version of the complete soundtrack, but its still great to listen to. Horner successfully marries the seafaring/swashbuckling motifs with the old Star Trek themes to create an incredible score (if you can get the extended edition, note the use of the horns playing one of the old ST themes in ‘Buried Alive’).
Hopefully the extended version of ‘Khan’ and ‘Search for Spock’ will be available on iTunes in the future. If so, get them!
Expanded edition rocks

I don’t have this version, but I absolutely love the expanded version. This is one of the best soundtracks out there. On par with Star Wars, LOTRs, and all those other classics.
BEST TREK SOUNDTRACK EVER!

This soundtrack is very stirring, but for some reason it makes me want to go out and gnaw on furniture. I have no explanation for this.
Finally!

I’ve been waiting years for this to come to the iTunes store. I love it! I haven’t heard the entire album since I was a kid with my 33 rpm LP.
