Star Trek Lost Radio Interview Archive With 1-of-a-kind Producers Originals
MUST HAVE STAR TREK! Here’s a LOST. STAR TREK : The Motion Picture. ARCHIVE of SUPER RARE 1-of-a-kind INDUSTRY ONLY Promotional and MIXED MEDIA Materials. 100% of these items were PERSONALLY saved by Record PRODUCER Steve Strout. Steve Strout produced a number of “Special Radio Programming” discs during the 1970’s and early’80’s, including a rare Paul McCartney interview record. Strout produced the Star Trek – The Motion Picture Interview Radio Special for Paramount Pictures in 1979 under his company’s name, Backstage Productions. It was an easy sell to the studio, as he’d produced a wildly successful Star Wars “Interview Special” just a year prior for 20th Century- Fox. Lucasfilm also had Backstage Productions create a Radio Special for The Empire Strikes Back , released just five months after this Star Trek promotion. The Star Trek Radio Special has interviews with all the Starfleet legends made famous in the 1960’s, including Gene Roddenberry, the TV show’s creator. Coming off such a long hiatus, everyone in the interviews had a lot to say, especially William Shatner. What makes this disc a real treat is that it was designed for regional radio stations to have their own on-air personalities read a script – as to fool the listening audience into thinking that they’d arranged the interviews with the stars themselves. The local announcer would record himself reading the script, which would later be edited together with the prerecorded cuts off the record. The stations would air the interview as a local feature. It fooled me at the time. I remember back in the day being very impressed when my local radio station had an interview with Gene Roddenberry. I wondered how they got him to do that. Most fun, is the potential amusement this disc provides in today’s world. If you’re a super “Trekkie, ” you can make your own recordings. Just think, you can interview any one of the stars and post it on YouTube. You can make a CD (or download blob) and give them out as wedding favors. Make them stocking stuffers. Give them as gag gifts. Ever since I found out about the existence of this rare interview material, especially after I listened to the disc, I thought it would be a great bit of natural hilarity to see this disc appear on the CBS Television show The Big Bang Theory. Just think of how funny and exciting it would be for Sheldon Cooper to be able to interview Leonard Nimoy. One of the other Big Bang characters, probably Penny, could gift him this disc as a followup birthday present to the Nimoy napkin he received a few years back. Better yet, YOU can make this entire archive a present to yourself. 100% of the material found was. It’s ALL Industry ONLY material used for the promotion of Star Trek – The Motion Picture, or, items used in the process of making the “Industry Special” INTERVIEW RECORD. Originally, Paramount and Strout sent the disc out free to select radio stations to coincide with the film’s premier and publicity release. He [Steve Strout] produced this radio show, and so that’s why he was lucky enough to have all of this 1-of-a-kind Star Trek material in his possession. He saved it until his death. It fell out of the Stouts’ hands a couple of years ago, and that’s when I gained proud ownership of it. You could be the next happy owner of this, more than interesting, collection of Hollywood insider stuff. Below is a list of everything you get. All of this PRE-RELEASE vintage material was made to represent the 1970’s launch of the first Star Trek feature film. Remember, it was 1979, the country still had its head in outer-space with the original Star Wars having just ended its massive theatrical run. Clearly, it was a perfect time for Paramount Pictures to relaunch the USS Enterprise, this time on a cinematic voyage. The release of the film was presenting the first reunion of the original cast in over a decade, and so the promotion of this new reboot, right out-of-the-gate, was especially important to the studio. That’s why Paramount signed on with Strout to produce this disc. It’s also why they distributed the disc FREE to select industry people. They even highlighted that fact in their Press Release on the back. It proclaims that it’s FREE OF CHARGE WITH COOPERATION OF PARAMOUNT PICTURES. They sent the disc out just shortly prior to the film breaking. It was a no-brainer that the radio stations would play it, or at least part of it, given the public’s keen interest in this particular crew. The already legendary Star Trek cast hadn’t been widely seen or heard from (except in reruns) since the end of the original series, and so this was a hot property. Even Gene Roddenberry makes a rare and remarkable appearance on this fascinating interview record. However, as great and as rare as the record is, the majority of the monetary value in this lot is in the unique 1-of-a-kind production materials that were found, all saved by its producer, Steve Strout. Let’s talk about the most valuable piece of this archive: a. Professionally shot Kodak Ektachrome slides of William Shatner being interviewed for the record. These are camera originals that have never been published or reproduced. That’s where the potential for recovering the cost of this archive lies, in reproducing these images for collectors and fans. Furthermore, they don’t have the radio interview recording that marries up to the stills. The new, modern-day presentation of the two mediums together makes for an effective time-capsule, especially considering how fantastic the content of the Shatner interview actually is. Shatner is really puffed-up bloviating wildly with a lot of “wishful” (on the edge of delusional) thinking about what Star Trek is, and what Star Trek will be… In today’s world… It’s an incredibly entertaining blow-fish display with a lot of puff and a lot of jazz. It’s two tons of fun. How could it not be? After all, it’s vintage Shatner, in his prime. Denny Crane would be jealous! The lot of 12 Star Trek Interview slides were found in an old-style 1970’s Kodak slide projector carousel, which was carefully stored in a protective box. The ORIGINAL slides are dated – October 1979. Actually, Kodak processed these and date-stamped them in October. It’s possible the interview took place earlier, but I have a feeling these were processed right away, and so they’re likely from October. The film came out in December, and so anyway you cut it, these are pre-release items from the very start of William Shatner’s movie stardom. We all know Bill Shatner as a TV superstar. However, when you take a good look at his 50+ year film biography, you have to say it was a serious one. I’d actually say it was a significant one, especially when factoring in that – in the end – he somehow managed to achieve big budget “feature film” directing status. The slides from the shoot were numbered by Kodak on the casings (see photos #2&3). You can see from the non-sequential numbers that these slides were chosen from a larger group. That’s because these were the BEST images from the shoot. Strout cherry-picked these out! These 12 are all that remain too, the rest of the group is gone. Remember, NOTHING from this shoot has ever been published, which makes these exclusive. I’ve attached scans of the slides made on a flatbed scanner. The scanner used is a professional scanner designed for non-translucent posters. That’s why the slide casings in the photos look so good. The images of Shatner don’t. They’re dark because they’re not properly back-lit. The Ekatchrome originals are at least of equal quality – if not greater – than all the publicity stills Paramount released on this film back in 1979! They’re sharp and vibrant, and the colors are rich. The slides are as fresh as the day Kodak processed them, over 35 years ago – before the dawn of the digital age. They’re not copies or dupes, they’re the high-quality camera originals. They’re not copies or dupes, they’re the high-quality camera originals! It’s an expensive process to have this done correctly. This will take 7-14 days. The scans will be more than adequate to print out stills that are PROFESSIONAL quality on par with the original Paramount Pictures stills issued in the’70’s!! I’ll also include a professional transcription of the Star Trek Radio Interview Special , in the form of an audio wav file on a thumb drive. Rare 1-of-a-kind piece found in this archive is. The ORIGINAL PROPOSED 12×12 Cover Art. Notice the Star Trek Logo wasn’t ready yet. This piece was sent by Paramount to use for the cover. They didn’t end up using it as the full 12×12 square design, as represented on the board and memorialized by the handwritten label at the bottom (see photo #4). However, they DID end up using it in the sense that they took this super sharp line-art (made with no printing dots) and then re-shot it after they stripped-in the final logo and credits. That’s how they made the final jacket assembly. That’s the next item. Rare 1-of-a-kind piece found in this archive is the ORIGINAL FINAL COVER ART! This is the actual piece they shot to make the final plates to print the cover. It would be considered the Original Cover Art. That was cut out. I was told it was taken off to use on the Empire Strikes Back Radio Interview Special’s cover. That record was released just a few months after the Star Trek record. Interestingly, the jacket for the Empire Strikes Back Special (see photo#12) was found in the same box with all of this Star Trek material. The jacket had no disc inside – only the jacket. I’m going to include the jacket with this lot. It more than makes up for that small piece of text missing. Element of interest is first in importance, as this archive’s contents revolves around its very existence: Steve Strout’s working copy of the final Star Trek – The Motion Picture Interview Radio Special. See photos #8, 9, 10, & 11. This is Steve Strout’s personal copy of the final disc and the packaging. H e played this record for himself. It was found in the box with all of the other elements created during the production of the disc. I’ve already talked about this recording at length throughout this listing. As you can see from the scans of the labels , it’s jammed packed with interviews on all of the principles. It comes with the original script , which can easily be copied to accompany the stills and the recording. That would be a fantastic collector’s package! Don’t you think? You have to admit, that triptych of Trekkie treats would go over big at the Comic-cons and Science-Fiction Conventions around the country. Producer Alan Dean Foster… Christine Chapel Walter Koenig… Willard Decker Grace Lee Whitney… CPO Janice Rand Mark Lenard… Alien Boy Roger Aaron Brown… Epsilon Technician Gary Faga… Assistant to Rand Howard Itzkowitz… Cargo Deck Ensign Jon Rashad Kamal… Chief DiFalco Michele Ameen Billy… Technician Terrence O’Connor… Chief Ross Michael Rougas… Cleary Susan O’Sullivan… Crew Member Ralph Byers… Crew Member Paula Crist… Crew Member Franklyn Seales… Crew Member Jimmie Booth… Klingon Crewman Bill McIntosh… Klingon Crewman Dave Moordigian… Klingon Crewman Tom Morga… Klingon Crewman Tony Rocco… Klingon Crewman Joel Schultz… Klingon Crewman Craig Thomas… Klingon Crewman Edna Glover… Vulcan Master Norman Stuart… Vulcan Master Paul Weber… Vulcan Master Joshua Gallegos… Security Officer Lisa Chess… It can crash regardless of any decision you make and can even crash regardless of any decision made by the company related to the stock – Leaving you with a near worthless piece of paper that won’t inspire anyone! The magnificence of art and historic documents have an inherent value that relates to civilization and society. This archive is definitely. FOR MOST ITEMS LISTED. Please write with any questions.
