    1. Hi Dr Robert.
      It may be but I don't think so. Stacia had dark hair. The cover is a French edition, unique picture sleeve of the single "You'd Better Believe It"
      Cheers.

    2. I believe the dancer on the cover is Renee Berg, AKA Renee LeBallister, Renee Lillian, Miss Rene, Dancing Girl. She performed with Hawkwind circa 1973......

      Cheers
