Khan

Space Shanty

NEW LP

REISSUE

Best known as the album that first brought the guitar playing talents of guitarist Steve Hillage to public prominence, Khans 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'slater solo success.

Hillage has acknowledged that Space Shanty was the dry run for his classic Fish Rising album.
