I've got the album.  I ordered it from the ad in a friend's book
because it listed Chick Corea as one of the performers.

I don't have anything good to say about it.  I've put it in my
musical humor collection next to the Temple City Kazoo Orchestra
album.  It's not something to be taken seriously.

I had next to no desire to read the book, having dismissed it as
trivial space opera.  After hearing the album I have even less desire
to read it.
