Comments:

This was his second album, and very much indicative of things to come in his later works. Standouts on this one include the title track, A Spaceman Came Travelling, Lonely Sky and Patricia The Stripper. Oddly it didn't chart in the UK until after the release of the Telstar Greatest Hits Album
The sleeve shown here is the Canadian version.  UK Releases had to make do with a simple black sleeve, with the album title written on it.
