Camel 5.1

Air Born: The MCA & Decca Years 1973-1984 is a new box set featuring the music of English prog-rock band Camel. The box features 27 CDs & five blu-rays and includes newly remastered versions of every Camel album and single issued between 1973 and 1984, but also includes new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound versions of five albums, as well as new mixes of three concerts; The Marquee Club, London 1974, Hammersmith Odeon 1976 and Hammersmith Odeon 1977. The package also features previously unreleased outtakes from album recording sessions and BBC Radio ‘In Concert’ appearances from 1974, 1975, 1977 and 1981.

The band's fifth release, Rain Dances is Camel at its best, offering the most consistent and representative package in their saga. The addition of Caravan-cofounder Richard Sinclair proves profitable, as do a few colorist touches by Brian Eno on "Elke." Mel Collins' woodwinds are among the highlights, especially on "Tell Me" and the title track. From beginning to end, this project flows gracefully.

Camel, who made his debut from MCA Records in 1973, transferred to Decham's subsidiary Derum in 1974 and released the second album "Mirage". With the support of the record company, he will actively promote tours mainly in the UK with the purpose of promotion. Among them, the live performance at the Marquee Club in London on June 20, the same year, will be recorded for radio broadcasting. After the broadcast, it will be in storage. Furthermore, in order to advance to the United States, the first US performance will be held four times on the east coast side in November of the same year. Among them, Camel performed a studio live at the Electric Lady Studio in New York for radio broadcasting in the United States, but this will also be stored as it is not used for anything other than broadcasting. This time, the original master of these two performances was discovered, and this a valuable archive finally released as a live album.

Camel At The Royal Albert Hall celebrates Camel's superb Moonmadness 2018 tour. Universally acclaimed by everyone that saw it, the RAH concert was the pinnacle of the tour. With the line-up of Andrew Latimer (guitar/flute/vocals), Colin Bass (bass/vocals), Denis Clement (drums) and Pete Jones (keyboards/vocals), this is Camel at their best.

Camel is the first studio album by English progressive rock band Camel. It was released in 1973. The bonus track "Homage to the God of Light" was originally released in Peter Bardens's solo album The Answer in 1970. By August 1972, Camel were signed to MCA Records. They quickly entered the studio to record their first self-titled album, Camel. A collection of individual songs, chiefly from Andrew Latimer and Peter Bardens, the album was greeted with muted success and MCA did not take an option for a second album. By then, the group had acquired the management team of Geoff Jukes and Max Hole of Gemini Artists (later to become GAMA Records) and had moved to Decca Records, where they would remain for the next 10 years.
