Fun In Space

Very little non-LP material exists from this album, and no 12"'s. The first single managed just one week (barely) inside the Top 40, and the second failed to chart. The album itself has a few fillers, and is a bit "Flash Gordon" at times (particularly on "Interlude In Constantinople"), but there are plenty of good tracks. The highlight is probably the opener, "No Violins".

Note that Roger has occasionally performed "Laugh Or Cry" and "Let's Get Crazy" from this album live with his other band, The Cross.

Alternate Versions

Future Management

Top Of The Pops Version (Sep 1981)
Performed in the week it entered the charts. Not a live recording, this is a mimed performance with crowd noises at the start and end. Mono copies have surfaced, but stereo either isn't available or is very rare. Though not very interesting musically, the video footage would be nice.

My Country

Single Version
The second and final single from the album, this track was edited down from nearly seven minutes to just 3:40. Strangely, its not that noticeable for some reason! It's a very good edit though, as these things go. This 7" is now very hard to find in good condition, and quality bootlegs are pretty scarce too. Great picture sleeve as well.
