star trek comedy tape

Hello, Everyone. Back about 25-30 years ago, I picked up from the conventions several Star Trek comedy tapes, with audio tracks of various funny skits, especially Kevin Pollack, doing James T. Kirk, and many other fun stuff. However, on one of the tapes, one track had the TOS main theme, where the soprano sang all the way thru, but on this version, she was laughing, lightly at first, then hysterically by the end, and it always made me laugh out loud when I heard it, and whenever I played it for any friends and visitors, they loved it as well.
However, as time goes by, and those poorly created cassettes would fail, mainly the soundtracks created by MGA/Universal, and they would start to screech, when the tape would pass by the playback head, and they would become oxidized by time, so I no longer have any of the three cassettes.
I have looked all over the internet, asked around a bit, but nobody seems to know anything about this particular recording. So, I was hoping someone here would know.
Who did it, what comedy compellation was it on? Things like that.
If anyone does know, I would greatly appreciate any info regarding this.

Many Thanks
 
It sounds like you are after "Star Trek Comedy: The Unofficial Album." They are all sold out of tapes, but they still have vinyl albums. It was never released on CD.

It's available on YouTube in its entirety. You can also find it on eBay--or here:

Yep! that was ONE of the three that I had, but that skit is not on this one! But it did have the Kevin Pollack skit, and his answering machine message, so that was good! If anyone knows where I can find the laughing lady, PLEASE let me know. I miss her! :D

Thanks
