Summary

In 1976, Gene Roddenberry and several guests, including William Shatner, DeForest Kelley, Mark Lenard and Ray Bradbury, recorded "Inside Star Trek" at United Western Studios in Los Angeles. Isaac Asimov recorded his contribution in New York. Unfortunately, Ray Bradbury's contribution did not make the final album because of some contractual difficulties.
Inside Star Trek is a comprehensive, and occasionally whimsical, look at the development of a television phenomenon. It is also the story of Gene Roddenberry himself, his dreams and his difficulties. In addition to interviews with William Shatner and DeForest Kelley, the album also includes anecdotal stories of the Made for TV Movie; The Questor Tapes, as well as the origins of the charater of Spock.
In 1999, Columbia re-released Inside Star Trek as a part of a two CD set entitled Star Trek: The Motion Picture 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition. This new release included several never-before-released tracks, including anecdotal stories regarding Roddenberry's short-lived television series Genesis II, Gene's insights on technological achievements, and new tracks by Nichelle Nichols.
