Fun in Space is the debut album by the English musician Roger Taylor. Released in May of 1981 in the UK and US, the album was recorded in between legs of Queen's tours for The Game and Flash Gordon albums. Taylor wrote, produced, sang and performed all of the songs himself. While the album did fair in the UK, the album tanked upon its US release.
"Future Management" was issued as a single in Europe while "Let's Get Crazy" was released in the U.S.
The album was re-released as a digitally remastered CD in 1996.

[edit] Trivia
In a tongue in cheek kind of way the albums credits ended with "pps. 157 synthersizers". In a direct response to the usual quote at the end of each early Queen album whereby it was stated "... and nobody played synthesizer".
