Roger Taylor's "Fun in Space" and "Strange Frontier" in vinyl and CDl!!

Roger Taylor's solo albums "Fun in Space" and "Strange Frontier" have been expanded for reissue on March 24th in both CD and vinyl formats.
The Fun in Space LP will be reissued on vinyl for the time since its 1981 release. The first run will be on clear vinyl (with black vinyl to follow) and contains a reproduction of the original album's full color inner sleeve with lyrics. The CD version, housed in a digipak, contains three bonus tracks: both sides of Taylor's 1977 solo offering ("I Wanna Testify" b/w "Turn on the TV") and the U.K. single version of the album's "My Country I & II" (issued as "My Country").
Strange Frontier will be reissued on translucent red vinyl for the first pressing (black vinyl for future runs) with all original packaging elements replicated. The CD, contained in a digipak, features five bonus tracks: remixes of the album's singles "Man on Fire," "I Cry for You (Love, Hope and Confusion)" and "Strange Frontier." It also contains the B-side to the title cut, "Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad)."
With this material currently only available in the 10 CD/1 DVD collection The Lot, this is the first time versions of the individual albums will be offered outside of that package.

Excellent! I'll be buying em both.....now they just need to do the same for Back To The Light and Another World :D

I have 'The Lot', plus the original CD releases, and original vinyl issues (wirh Fun In Space sleeve signed by Roger!) so won't be getting these, but it is great news, and excellent that those without 'The Lot' can get these extras.

Great news!

That's really great news! I'm interested in some kind of deluxe sets of these albums with full and expanded album artwork.
As for tracklists, they the same as I've created for private use after release of 'The Lot' but in slightly different order.

And of course it could've been much more attractive if they finally add 'I Wanna Take You Higher' and "Keep On Running' to Strange Frontier bonus tracks.

Also it'll be great if they revisit and fix the awful remaster of Fun In Space with all its speed issues and early fade outs.

Very nice!

Indeed, what a lost opportunity yet again :(

$5 says they won't.

This sounds interesting. Question is, which versions will be used for these reissue of Fun in Space, the slower version or the original one?

^ I'm almost certain it will be the exact same release as ''The Lot" - complete with dodgy audio on the Fun in Space album.
You just know they won't bother fixing it.

^ unfortunately it is a bitter truth... Even JJM said it's the correct speed version and didn't bother to compare it with all previous releases.

...three releases of Roger's music in less than 18 months (the lot, the best and now these reissues), curious choice for all the pockets around the world.

^ Ask Nightjar Productions Ltd about that.

Empty wallets, that's what we're living for...

Will buy them all :-)

Great news will pre order with Amazon ASAP !

As regards Brians solo albums ,Back To The Light was a good effort,however Another World had some truly awfull moments,China Belle,Cyborg and the stomach churning Why Dont We Try Again ! I dont think i would be very interested in buying those two albums again.
