Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

A collection of curiously compelling recordings brought together for the first time, summarising the talents of two artists who hold cult status in the worlds of both television and music. Spock sings, Kirk raps. Surreal soliloquies, mad monologues, peculiar parlance are all here. William Shatner (Captain Kirk) performs a bewildering collision of Bob Dylan, Shakespeare and The Beatles, narrated over a strangely disconnected free for all culled from his 1968 album The Transformed Man. Discover his staggering interpretations of "Mr Tambourine Man" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". Leonard Nimoy (Spock) performs an astounding collection of lounge croons--"Where Is The Love?", "Everybody's Talkin"--and Spock standards--"Highly Illogical", "Music To Watch Space Girls By". An essential purchase for both Trekkies and connoisseurs of musical exotica. --F.B.Hawkes

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly terryfying 15 Sep 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This is the worst recording of anything ever produced and proof that God has forsaken us. Listening to Shatner scream his way through Mr Tambourine man, one dare not imagine what he's going to do if he catches up with him, surely something unspeakable. His now legendary performance of Lucy in the sky with diamonds is just as chilling in the way the song is first throttled and then finally kicked to death. Nimoy does not let us down easily either, The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins is a superb example of cringe at warp factor 10, there is so much terrible stuff on this CD that you cannot imagine its scale of horror. The sheer embarrassment of listening to this CD in public is a spiritually humbling experience. This is one of the funniest CD's you will ever hear, I urge you to defy logic and buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spaced Out - Spacey and out there but NOT a waste of Space 5 Feb 2005
By shi_enya
Format:Audio CD
Why the 5 star rating? Well, read all about it...

Shatner is quoted on the insert as saying, "I've been entranced with music for the longest time...and the bane of my life is that I really can't sing...I'm kind of feeling my way into an area that I'm discovering." This is exactly what many people miss - this isn't just a compilation of songs, this stuff was done as conceptual art. Conceptual art is not always made to popular tastes.

Thus, when I listened to this (my dad has the vinyls) I alternatively howled with laughter, tapped my toes, and sang along. The excellent selection does cover the unforgettable favorites, such as Shatner's Mr Tambourine Man and Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. These are truly unique.

These famous songs should not typecast the album, though - for instance, Shatner's renditions of Shakespeare are arguably quite good. The pieces are dramatic and interpretive (back to the art thing) and Shatner dares to be different - how much fun would it be to hear only one version of Hamlet? He's aware he can't sing so adapts (incidentally, Rex Harrison spoke his way through most of My Fair Lady - a musical!!)

Nimoy, on the other hand, provides spoken word and singing. One of the best songs is Where is Love - a touching, simple and well sung rendition. YES Nimoy CAN SING. I really liked the spoken piece, A Visit to A Sad Planet, as I hadn't heard before and found the ending intriguing (no spoilers here!). You really notice the difference between the 'Spock voice' and his 'Nimoy voice.'

With the variety on the CD you're bound to find something you love - whether because it's a funny laugh and you think it's dated or simply because you appreciate something a bit different from two cultural icons.

Bottom line: A really well-selected, quality produced, compilation of Shatner and Nimoy's art/interpretive records of yesteryear. You don't need to go buy six CDs, just this one. It's an eclectic, unusual CD you'll probably find you like a lot more than you expected (and it's a HECK of a conversation piece).

5.0 out of 5 stars SAFETY WARNING 18 Nov 2004
By Mr. G. C. Stone VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Do not listen to any of these tracks in the car. I once heard Shatners 'Lucy in the Sky' on the radio and was shaking so much (with what I can only describe as a highly potent mix of extreme mirth and total, magisterial awe) that I nearly veered off the road.
