Phantoms is a 1979 studio album recording by Alan Hull.[2] The album was engineered by Peter Kelsey and released as a vinyl LP.
The album cover is based on the painting Le musée du roi by the surrealist artist Magritte and is supplemented by material from the 1977 album Isn't it Strange by Radiator,[3] a group formed with the help of the Lindisfarne drummer Ray Laidlaw.[4] A CD reissue version included five bonus demo tracks from 1975.[5]
