![]() But is it the best?Ĭertainly for a debut album it’s a gem! Opening with the splendid ‘Slow Yourself Down’ and ‘Mystic Queen’ it hit the right spots immediately. As you can imagine, the album was purchased on its release. With Doug Ferguson’s fine bass and Andy Ward’s top notch drumming, here was a band we would certainly wish to see/hear again. The combination of Peter Barden’s melodic keyboards and Andy Latimer’s guitar was just superb. We were amazed! They were fantastic! As it turned out, played all but one of the tracks from the first album, (I think it was ‘Separation’) that hadn’t yet been released. We hadn’t yet come across Camel, so there was no possibility we would leave and miss out on some live music. I had expected to see Barclay James Harvest but on arrival we were told they had cried off but the support band were playing a full set. I first saw Camel at Reading University late 1972 with a bunch of mates. After all they are a similarly great band, with an impressive discography and a huge following. Having had some interesting comments and discussions after posing a similar question regarding Caravan, I thought it would be appropriate to ask the same for Camel. ![]()
