Fun in Space

Fun in Space is the debut album by English musician Roger Taylor. Released in May 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 fairly in the UK, it tanked upon its US release.

The albums credits state "P.P.S. 157 synthesizers", a joke referring to Queen's usual statement of "No synthesizers".

"Future Management" was issued as a single in Europe while "Let's Get Crazy" was released in the US.

The album was re-released as a digitally remastered CD in 1996.

The 'alien' writing on the magazine on the front cover consists mainly of upside down Hebrew scripture. The actual words are meaningless.
