There are no science fiction or Spock themed songs or outer space sound effects featured on the album.

[3] However, it is believed that the spoken word tracks, "Consilium" and "Where It's At" loosely tie into the Spock persona.

[citation needed] Recording for the album began in Los Angeles on 24 April 1968, during which was cut (from several takes) "I'd Love Making Love to You", "Please Don't Try to Change My Mind", "Where it's At", and "Hitchhiker."

Nimoy's parents were in attendance having flown from Boston for a week-long visit.

The third and final recording session was on 17 May, at which "Love is Sweeter", "Sunny", "Consilium", and "Both Sides Now" were cut.
