Phantom of the Night is the sixth studio album by Dutch Progressive rock band Kayak.[1] "Ruthless Queen" was released as a single, becoming the band's biggest hit, nearing the top of the charts in the Netherlands.

In the United States, the LP (with a different sleeve design) was also released as a picture disc, in a limited edition of 3,000 copies.

The album was Kayak's biggest commercial success, but it was only in August 2010 that it was released on CD in its own right. Until that date, the album was only available as part of the "3 Originals" 2 CD boxed set with two other Kayak albums which were "Starlight Dancer" and "Periscope Life".
