Mismatched Track Listing
4 out of 5 stars
indejwohxApril 20, 2025United States🇺🇸
I've got the same version with the exact same matrix numbers, but side one has just 6 songs and side two has 7, not the 14 tracks listed. Plus, on side two, both the cover and label say track 6 is "Route 66," but it's actually track 7. Track 7 is labeled as "In Hell I'll Be In Good Company," but it plays as track 6. Is the track list above from the CD version?
Shatner's Bizarre Singing Surprise
3 out of 5 stars
wauwomba27June 15, 2024United States🇺🇸
I must say, I've honestly never encountered anything quite like this in my life. It's utterly beyond my comprehension. I just can't even muster enough tears for the massive laugh I'd love to have at Capt. Shatner's "Singing." (And maybe a tiny cry too.) Even Mr. Spock's pointy ears would've started bleeding and melting off, no doubt about it. It's truly hard to believe, but (somehow and still) I kinda dig it anyway. (And wow, the amount of incredibly talented musicians on this bizarre record!)
