Leonard Nimoy’s classic LP Mr. Spock’s Music from Outer Space, the actor’s first musical release which debuted all the way back in 1967, is heading back to independent record stores this month as one of label Varèse Sarabande Records’ annual Record Store Day exclusive titles.
Limited to 1800 copies nationally, Nimoy’s album will hit record stores in the United States on Friday, November 24 as a 12″ vinyl release; the album was previously re-released in 1973 and 1995 – but has been long out of print.
Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock was unquestionably the most popular character on the original Star Trek series. His first record album, Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock’s Music from Outer Space, was originally released in June 1967 on Dot Records.
This entertaining and campy album has long been out of print on vinyl, and is a cult classic favorite for all Star Trek aficionados and lovers of Space in general. Varèse Sarabande is re-releasing this amazing piece of mondo bizarro for RSD Black Friday.
Pick up this great release on Black Friday and May The Force…wait, that’s not right…Live Long and Prosper!
You can learn more about the release at Varèse Sarabande’s site, and find a copy at a local independent record store near you.
