Capaldi recalled the exact moment that spawned "Dear Mr. Fantasy."

One early morning at the Cottage he was coming down off LSD, sketching in front of a log fire. Bubbling out of his acid-fired subconsciousness and through his pencil came a the image of a man hanging on puppet strings and wearing a spiked hat with the words, "Dear Mr. Fantasy, play us a tune, something to make us all happy" scrawled under him.

Drummer is the great Jim Gordon on this album. Had to mention, I’m a fan.
