Can it be that this has not been announced? Home's legendary album THE ALCHEMIST is about to be re-released on CD:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alchemist-Home/dp/B0035KGDRG/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3ZSNWXGNW7JP&colid=1TXU9FHDP5CJT For me, at least, this sounds like great news. I've got some excellent memories of hearing this album back in the 1970s. I wonder if it still stands up! |

| ^ Well con-gra-tu-la-tions dudes, but neither of you posted a separate message concerning THE ALCHEMIST and THE ALCHEMIST alone. And you know what? Home are well worth it! |

| Excellent concept album. It has already been released on CD of course, but well worth a listen. For those unfamilar with the band (from the early 70's), their line up included Laurie Wiseman, later of Wishbone Ash. |

| ^ It may have appeared before, but it hasn't been available for at least four years, at least not through the regular channels. That's why I'm glad it has now been re-released. I remember it used to sound great, and your review, Easy Livin, has convinced me I should now order a copy! I just hope something has been preserved of the artwork. If I remember it well the LP had a gatefold sleeve, with lyrics and illustrations inside... |

| Nice to hear this is finally being re-released. I managed to buy an official copy of the cd on eBay a couple of years ago, after years of searching. Cost me a fair few bob, but well worth it. However I think I actually prefer the self-titled second Home album. Think I'm right in saying it was released as a twofer along with Pause For A Hoarse Horse a year or so ago. Not keen on Pause, but I would recommend that second album to budding Home fans. |
