In My Opinion.
SNOW GOOSE is the best...
MOONMADNESS or MIRAGE follows...
CAMEL, RAIN DANCES
and last but not least
I CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE FROM HERE, BREATHLESS, NUDE and maybe RAJAZ
LIVE RECORD is brilliant, Lunar sea-s version is incredible, as so is Lady Fantasy, and the Entire SNOW GOOSE with orchestra... although is not a studio album so it doesn-t count...

In case you didn't know, the version that only appears on the Greasy Trucker's LP is called "Lord of Light Revisited", and is in 3 parts, allegedly. It's also 6 minutes longer.

I have debut, Mirage, Snow Goose, Moonmadness,Breathless and Harbour of Tears. I think all of them are cool.
Maybe, Breathless is the weakest link amongst them..I don't know other albums,listened only few songs,so ý can't say anything about them..

We had Lady Fantasy on the Sixth Form hi fi at lunchtime today. Watching 17/18 year olds playing air guitar to a song recorded 14 years before any of them were born is testament to how good this band were.
They were the best, IMO.

you should get "a live record", it's an amazing show and one of my favorites!!!
it's a double cd and on the second disc they do the whole snow-goose which sound even better than the studio version, imo |
Yup, and once you have these, then you have their best. Don't get me
wrong, many other albums by them are very good (like the debut), but
you've started with the classic apex for them so don't expect them all
to be that essential.

Not kidding. The remastered version of A Live has most of Moonmadness. Are the studio versions different enough?

A Nod and a Wink is OUTSTANDING..not just good. So is Coming of Age.
I have a different question. If one purchased A Live Record, is Moonmadness or Mirage still necessary as the best tracks are on that? (I ordered Mirage anyway but haven't received yet).

Ive been thinking about getting one for a while now but I'll have to order it so I want to make sure i get the best. So which one above is your favourite??+ |
Asking for a favourite is quite stupid, with all due respect.
Some will say Snow Goose, some will say Mirage and some Moomadness, these are their best albums, so, you still won't be able to decide.
Though, the best start is with the Snow Goose, no questions there mate.

Camel On The Road 1972 contains a 14-minute or so live track called "God of Light Revisited" among other gems, such as the only live version available of "Six Ate".
Also worth getting is "A Live Record", which features the entire Snow Goose album performed live - among the other goodies.
I'm also very keen on "Harbour of Tears", but I don't mind their new sound.
Lord of Light Revisited parts 1, 2, and 3, a 20-minute jam, appears on one of the Greasy Truckers albums (c.1972) - you should be able to track these down (on vinyl) for £10 each - and there's great stuff from Man, Hawkwind and Henry Cow on there are well.

"Camel", "Rain Dances", "Breathless" and "Nude", the rest are pretty boring IMHO.

Hello Rover,
IMO Rain Dances is good, but lacks in some mordant...
I think it's better Breathless. There are more commercial sounds, but you'll find the song Echoes...one of the best tracks by Camel, one of the best songs ever!!
The price should be very low (I bought it for only 5 Euro!!!)
See you soon!
