What an absolute blinder this compilation is! Who knew that Shatner and Nimoy recorded and reinterpreted so many songs,with such hilarious results? I have been thoroughly entertained (and repeatedly cried with laughter) at this album - it's blooming marvellous! Treat yourself - in this uncertain times you'll discover that laughter really IS the best medicine!

This CD has gained cult status and is now available again after disappearing from the shelves for some time. The combination of William Shatner's total lack of any musical talent and the cringe worthy attempts of Leonard Nimoy to sing ensure that the experience transcends awfulness and reaches its true level of hysterical laughter. The complete over-the-top ranting of Shatner as he delivers Shakespeare's Henry the Fifth famous speech, and the melodramatic recital of Elegy for the Brave are listening experiences worthy of a real ham actor. Leonard Nimoy's versions of "If I Had a Hammer" and "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" are only topped by the infamous "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins". However, the real turkey of the bunch has to be Shatner's version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" which is indescribably bad. Shatner is given the first two tracks on the CD which set an incredibly low standard which is failed to reach. Don't pay a lot for this CD but, if you can get it cheaply, it is worth paying for the laugh, it ranks with the truely dreadful of all time.Read full review
Questa raccolta di canzoni tratte da vari LP di Leonard Nimoy e Bill Shatner è davvero eccezionale, ovviamente per chi è fan di Star Trek TOS e dei due protagonisti. Ho sempre desiderato di avere queste canzoni, perchè sapevo dell'esistenza egli LP, ma qui in Italia è impossibile trovare il vinile, e farselo spedire dagli USA...un po'laborioso! Davvero una buona idea fare una compilation in un cd!
Nice collection of Nimoy & Shatner songs. Leonard is great. Not only for Trek fans, but also for who likes 60-70's music. And also cheap cost.
