Vinyl Listenings - Camel 1st LP

Camel - Camel

This LP is always a pleasant trip to listen to. 

A mix of comment on the difficulty of personal relationships, to the allusion of faery lands with the Mystic Queen, colourful dreamlands, the adventure of youth with Curiosity which contains a really beautiful jazzy guitar solo that sounds almost like it's played through an old Polytone (probably not!) 

Lots of Hammond organ texturizing the album..rock, jazz, mellow, hyper, classical, smooth...lots going on...a bit of mixup of ideas and styles, but personally that's one of the things I like about it....

A smooth analog tone to the LP and a strong hippy element in the whole vibe...including the clothing style in the picture on the back..which kind of reminds of early days at Cameden Lock Market...oh, how that has changed....the softer, velvety, kinder days...are they in my mind? or were they real?

This LP sounds great on Vinyl.

Studio Album, released in 1973
