Few would argue with the fact that Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is the best film in the Trek franchise. It’s got action, suspense, huge twists, an amazing villain, and perhaps most importantly for the matter at hand, an iconic score by the late, great James Horner.
Now, Mondo is releasing that score on limited edition vinyl, and it looks absolutely gorgeous thanks to new art by Matt Taylor. Even if you’re familiar with the main themes—you should be!—it’ll have some fresh moments, as it’s the extended score, “featuring cues rarely released for home listening,” according to Birth Movies Death.
Check out the set from all angles.
