Fun in Space

The original cover art was created by American artist Jim Laurier. The piece was commissioned for the July 1980 issue of Creepy magazine. The back cover of the album shows Roger Taylor reading that issue. The 'alien' writing on the magazine on the front cover consists mainly of upside down Hebrew characters. The actual words are meaningless. Coincidentally, the alien on the cover art was designed by Roger Taylor's former Smile bandmate Tim Staffell. The alien was commissioned by Jim Laurier and Tim Staffell wasn't aware of the album cover until he found his alien on Roger Taylor's mantlepiece when visiting his home. ==Track listing==
