Two Sides Of Leonard Nimoy

Nimoy's second album was released shortly after Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space, only this time Nimoy was allowed to perform songs that may be considered unfitting for a Vulcan.

Side one picks up where the first album left off. In many ways, it's a more fully realized collection of songs. Highly Illogical is a fun novelty song about the tediousness of human life on Earth while Spock Thoughts delivers a rewriting of classic 60s wisdom. Amphibious Assault explores the futility of war. The remaining tracks show Spock's softer side; his struggle between being human and Vulcan.

Side two is an eclectic mix of novelty, pop, country and love songs. The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins had a super-cool video That has become quite the talk of the Internet.

In 1976, MAD Magazine did a fantastic Star Trek musical parody. Check out the library for their version of Spock singing A Vulcan's Life Is Nothing But A Grind sung to the tune of Gentle On My Mind.

Stand out tracks: Highly Illogical, Spock Thoughts, The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins and Cotton Candy (On A Summer Day).
