Best known as the album that first brought the guitar playing talents of guitarist Steve Hillage to public prominence, Khan's sole album is a splendid example of a fusion of Canterbury flavoured rock combined with jazz and space-rock influences. Originally released in 1972 by Deram records, it can now clearly be seen as the blue print for Hillage's later solo success. Hillage has acknowledged that [title]Space Shanty[/title] was the "dry run" for his classic "Fish Rising" album. This reissue is remastered from the original master tapes and has extensive liner notes and includes two bonus tracks from a rediscovered acetate disc. 1. Space Shanty (Inc. The Cobalt Sequence and March of the Sine Squadrons)
2. Stranded (Effervescent Psychonovelty No. 5)
3. Mixed Up Man of the Mountains
4. Driving to Amsterdam
5. Stargazers
6. Hollow Stone (Escape of the Space Pirates)
7. Break The Chains - Bonus Track
8. Mixed Up Man Of The Mountains (Early Version) - Bonus Track
