Camel Productions


Camel is a perfect example of what can happen when a group decides to free themselves from the shackles of the corporate world and go independent. Their first album under Camel Productions, Dust and Dreams, was a return to form that the corporate world wouldn't allow, but which the fans absolutely clamored for. The next studio album, Harbour of Tears, was one many fans rank among their best.

This new freedom also allowed Camel to examine their archives and release their own series of 'official bootlegs,' another item the fans crave. This uplifting trend can only continue as long as Camel Productions gets your support. Camel fans should also be sure to check out Camel alumni Andy Ward, Richard Sinclair and Kit Watkins (as well as his band, Happy the Man on Cuneiform).

And you should definitely check out Camel bassist, Colin Bass, as well as his musical alter ego, Sabah Habas Mustapha.

Camel - Harbour of Tears

'Harbour of Tears' continues the theme of human migration that Camel explored on 'Dust and Dreams,' this time with the Irish emigration to America. Cóbh Harbour is a beautiful deep-water port in County Cork, Ireland. It was the last sight of Ireland for hundreds upon thousands of fractured families who departed her shores for fates unknown. They called it the Harbour of Tears.

Camel/A Nod and a Wink

Guy LeBlanc, Colin Bass and Denis Clement joined Andrew Latimer at Little Barn studios for Camel's newest recording and a celebration of Camel's 30th anniversary, A Nod and a Wink. Spirits were exceptionally high within the band despite 12-hour days in the studio. An album blending a bit of fun and nostalgia with a nod to Camel's roots and a wink at the whimsical, "A Nod and a Wink" comprises 7 tracks and approximately 55 minutes of music, and is HDCD encoded.  A Nod and a Wink is dedicated to one of Camel's founding members, Pete Bardens.

Camel/On the Road 1972 ....import CD $15.99

Camel - On the Road 1972

This album was taken from one of the earliest tours with the original line-up of Andrew Latimer, Pete Bardens, Andy Ward and Doug Ferguson. Although the essence of Camel changed when Doug left and we all grew apart musically, our friendships remain strong to this day. I chose this tape because it has the feel that inspired us to work together, despite it being nearly 20 years old and not the best quality. It's meant to be a bit of fun and an inexpensive souvenir of a few memories, which is something that will never change. - Andrew Latimer

Camel/On the Road 1981 ....import CD $15.99

Camel - On the Road 1981

During the 1981 tour of Nude, this CD was recorded and edited by the BBC for radio broadcasting. Camel Productions is please to offer this as our fourth release in Camel's Official Bootleg Series. The line-up for this tour was Andrew Latimer, Colin Bass, Andy Ward, Kit Watkins and Jan Schelhaas.

Camel/The Paris Collection (2000) ....import CD $15.99

Camel/The Paris Collection (2000)

A long and winding road for this tour in particular. But when Camel arrived in Paris, the city of light, on 30th September 2000 it turned out to be the musician's most fun-filled performance.  Their enjoyment is obvious throughout, perhaps because keyboardist Guy LeBlanc and drummer Denis Clement are French-Canadian ... perhaps because there was 'something in the air'.  Certainly, there was good music in the air. Listening to it is just as much fun.  Track listing: Ice, Chord Change, Fingertips, Slow Yourself Down, Sahara, Mother Road, Little Rivers and Little Rose, Hopeless Anger, Lady Fantasy and BONUS TRACK Slow Yourself Down a special late-night version recorded by Andrew and Guy during rehearsals.

Camel/Pressure Points ....import DVD-NTSC (region 0) $26.99

Camel/Pressure Points

At long last Camel Productions is pleased to offer PRESSURE POINTS, Camel's much sought after video recording from 1984. Captured on tape at London's Hammersmith Odeon, PRESSURE POINTS contains 15 tracks, comprising 80 mins of music.   It includes guest appearances from Mel Collins (sax) and the late Peter Bardens (keyboards).  0 Region NTSC format only.

Camel/Rajaz ....import CD $18.99

Camel - Rajaz

Accompanying Andrew Latimer are Dave Stewart (drums) and Colin Bass (bass guitar).  Also, the wonders of technology have brought about a reunion never thought possible due to the distance twixt the two musicians... keyboardist Ton Scherpenzeel from Kayak has returned to Camel making a guest appearance on several tracks!  Many fans will remember Ton from his previous appearances with Camel both on "Stationary Traveller" and on the 1984 video "Pressure Points."  A home-loving man, Ton is not comfortable away from his family and is less comfortable with air travel. Until now, these things made it impossible for Ton to appear on Camel albums. Technology has ended this isolation. Andrew sent the relevant tracks to Ton on CD-ROM and Ton was able to record his keyboard parts in his own studio in Holland. The two musicians were thrilled to be able to exchange ideas via their computers, downloading musical input within minutes.  So energized by this opportunity, the two plan future projects together.

Camel/Stationary Traveller ....import CD $17.99
