"One balmy summer evening I sat listening to this CD on the lawns of my Hampshire summer home. As the opening bars of the "Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins" tinkled out of the speakers, the skies darkened and a massive thunderstorm broke above me. Torrents of rain came lashing down, cruel winds upturned the gazebo and knocked the canapes and chinese straw mushroom vol-au-vents onto the grass. A bolt of lightning struck the east wing clock tower, causing £2.5 million worth of structural damage, and consigning to memory one of the largest private collections of Salvador Dali oil paintings known to man. The following morning, when I awoke, I stumbled outside. The grass around the gazebo had turned brown, and died. Small piles of dead earthworms lay scattered around like piles of vomit outside a Chinese restaurant on a Friday night. Lying unscathed amongst this devestation I found this CD, glinting in the sunlight. Needless to say I buried it at midnight at a crossroads just outside Winchester, and scattered the earth with salt to prevent it rising up again. Do not buy this CD if you value your life. Mine has never been the same since it passed its terrible curse onto me. I must go now, lest Nimoy use his dark powers against me once more. Farewell."

"This album is either 1 star or 5 stars depending on the level of illegal pharmaceuticals in your system or the number of starfleet uniforms you have in the closet. It's better than Shatner's album at least. The "If I Were A Carpenter" track became sort of an inside joke when I was in college.Avoid it, or not."
Awful..ly good

"this is a masterpiece, a must for anyone that owns a bad music collection. if you want to get back at those losers at work without being direct. play this once a day(at least)in the office radio. it will make them all crazy! and you can just sit back and overhear there coments, as they wonder if they should confront you about your poor musical taiste. and after awhile, believe it or not, you begin to enjoy leonards slightly off key singing as you hum along. this album has done wonderous things for me, and i recomend it to all."
Not for everyone

"I have the original album, "The Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy". This is that material plus the outtakes. After hearing you can see why outtakes. Proud Mary with Brooklyn-ish accent on "turnin' and burnin'. Good to have if your a big trek fan, Lord knows you probably spent more on some other trek junk. I always like the album and the cd gave me a better copy,,,great album no,,,,great fun yes."
Listening to this CD highly illogical, BUT!...

"Being both a Trekkie and a fan of cheeseball entertainment, I find this compilation of Leonard Nimoy's 'hits' to fill both bills rather well. His off-kilter covers of old pop & rock standards, mixed in with a few not-too-bad spoken-word bits, makes for some of the most infamous & pathetic celebrity recordings ever put out on vinyl! (Un)fortunately, his pioneering efforts in the realm of celeb albums opened the door to even more Star Trek thespians takin' a shot at recorded music! Most of 'em also have that bad-but-entertainingly-cheesy feel to 'em, but few can match Nimoy's horrifically-hilarious tin (pointed) ear!I recall someone once referring to Nimoy's rendition of 'Proud Mary' as being "positively constipated", which I found to be rather accurate for just about ALL of the tunes he's mangled in this compilation of the worst from his run of five (!) vinyl releases. You also gotta take a listen to his 'Everybody's Talking', 'If I Had A Hammer', 'If I Was A Carpenter', and especially 'I Walk The Line'-these are the best of his worst! This one's definitely worth a spin at your next big Trekkie episode-marathon party!'Late"
