A Brief Look at Camel’s Legacy:

Formed in 1971 in Guildford, Surrey, Camel, led by guitarist Andrew Latimer, has been a stalwart in the progressive rock scene. With fourteen studio albums, numerous live albums, and DVDs, their influence is undeniable. They’ve inspired artists like Steven Wilson, Marillion, and Opeth, and have been hailed as “the great unsung heroes of 70s prog rock” by renowned rock journalists.

Despite multiple line-up changes, Camel, under the leadership of Andrew Latimer, has continued to produce music and tour extensively. Their recent performance at The Royal Albert Hall in 2018 was a testament to their enduring legacy.

All these releases are set to drop on 24 November 2023, and pre-orders are open now. Don’t miss out on this golden opportunity to own a piece of progressive rock history!
