Star Fleet Project is the debut EP by Brian May, released in 1983 through EMI in the UK and Capitol Records in the US. Credited as "Brian May + Friends", it is May's first recording outside of Queen. Besides May, the group consisted of guitarist Eddie Van Halen, bassist Phil Chen (formerly played sessions for Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart), keyboardist Fred Mandel (formerly played sessions for Queen) and drummer Alan Gratzer (REO Speedwagon). Queen's drummer Roger Taylor also provided backing vocals for the Title Track. The project was just done for fun and not intended for public release, which explains why the mixing was minimal. But eventually May was asked to bring it out anyway and so it did.The title and the robot on the cover refer to an obscure Japanese science fiction series, Star Fleet, which was far more popular in the United Kingdom than in its homeland Japan.While difficult to find, Star Fleet Project remains famous as the only recording to feature May and Eddie Van Halen together, and for the instrumental homage "Bluesbreakers (for E.C.)"... which the honoree, Eric Clapton, absolutely hated. | |

Longest Song Goes Last | |
| Star Fleet Project (Music) / int_2bf54826 | comment |
Longest Song Goes Last: The EP ends with "Blues Breaker (For E.C.)", which at nearly 13 minutes takes up the entire second side. | |

Homage | |
| Star Fleet Project (Music) / int_a1a1491e | comment |
Homage: "Star Fleet" in itself brings homage to the Japanese sci-fi series Star Fleet, which also features one of the robots on the EP cover. The "Star Fleet" video begins with a title crawl styled after the Star Wars films. The final track is meant as one to Eric Clapton, though "Slowhand" was far from thrilled. | |
