Los Angeles-based Cleopatra Records has inked William Shatner to a worldwide recording deal for a space-themed concept album entitled"Searching For Major Tom" (formerly "Seeking Major Tom"), to be released later this year.

Of Wylde, Shatner previously said, "He's fantastic! I'm energized." Wyldewas thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Shatner and added, "He's super cool, we had an awesome time working together."
