Re-release

The track listing is identical to the original Dot Records release, but with a new sleeve design by Stephen Hill Design Services, including a different photo of Nimoy as Spock (front), and new liner notes by Ron Edwards (rear). It was re-released again on October 10, 1995 by Varèse Sarabande Records, Inc. This reissue features side one of the LP Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy as a bonus.
