Although there were twenty-three different STAR TREK Story Record packages produced (not counting cassette tape sets and the audio adaptations of the first four movies by Buena Vista Records), there were only eleven different original stories. Seven of these were first produced in 1975 and 1976. Then, with the release of the first STAR TREK Movie in 1979 the last four stories were created, and the first seven were re-released. All packages produced in 1979 featured photos from STAR TREK: The Motion Picture which was released in December of that year. Although photos of the new Enterprise and crew uniforms were shown on the packages, the first nine stories took place in the era of the Original series and the Animated series, which was circa 2269-2270. This fact is made obvious by the comic read along books included in several record sets, as they featured depictions of the original series ship and crew. The two exceptions were "The Robot Masters" and "Dinosaur Planet" whose comics depicted the crew in the grey STAR TREK: The Motion Picture outfits.

    Below are listed the eleven stories in chronological order of release. Also given is a brief sketch of what the story was about. The story titles below link to a dedicated story page which gives a full synopsis and particulars such as writer, production date, running time, and other details.

    Included at the bottom of this, and other pages in this site, is a link to a search for STAR TREK Records in Ebay the online auction site. Ebay is definitely the easiest way to locate and collect these long-out-of-production STAR TREK items. I receive no compensation for linking to Ebay, I simply do so as a service to visitors of this site.
