As detailed in a recent TrekWeb Feature, when 'Star Trek IV The Voyage Home' was released in Europe and South America in 1987 (re-titled 'The Voyage Home : Star Trek IV'), producer Harve Bennett and director Leonard Nimoy created a special prologue to the movie to help sell it in the foreign markets.
This 3-minute "lost prologue" can also be found on the European, Australian and other foreign VHS releases of the movie, but was never available in the U.S. It features a 'Captain's Log' narration by William Shatner, describing the events of Star Trek II and III, with a new beatiful soundtrack by composer Leonard Rosenmman.

Thanks to AntonyF and Fandom.com for digitizing the prologue.
