Perhaps they were just re-arranged/re-orchestrated for full orchestra as opposed to the small TV orchestra that was used for the original recordings. Varese also released two similar albums on varese with the same orchestra conducted by Fred Steiner.

Label X producer John Lasher decided that what he wanted to achieve with this album was to convey the ideas, approach, and musical style of each of four individual composers who did not regularly compose for Star Trek. He and co-producer Clyde Allen therefore elected that, with the exception of the main title theme itself, each suite of music from a particular episode would include only cues which were the work of the composer commissioned to write original music for that episode and were, in fact, original to that episode. On the other hand, an effort was made to include in the suites music which each composer had written for this particular episode but which, for one reason or another, was not used. So even the most avid "trekkie" will be hearing such music for the first time.

Peter, check out Varese's rerecordings done by Fred Steiner--they are even better (IMO). And certainly check out GNP's releases of the original music from the series, particularly Vol. 2 with Gerald Fried's "Amok Time" and Sol Kaplan's "The Doomsday Machine."

Star Trek had much good music by STeiner and others. I'm still waiting for Steiners very good score for First to Fight, 1967 Marine film about Guadalcanal and following, to be released. Has some great cues by him. That "cowardice" music for Everett is really good, counterpointed against the As Time Goes By theme, which was featured in the film. Casablance is shown in the movie when Everett is courting the girl. After they are married he whistles the tune and when back in combat, the tune is heard leading up to the battle sequences again. Then, in battle when Everett turns chicken for three or four scenes you hear the two tunes playing together. Very effective.
