Camel is the first studio album by English progressive rock band Camel, released on MCA Records in February 1973. By August 1972, Camel were signed to MCA Records. They quickly entered the studio to record their first self-titled album, Camel. A collection of individual songs, chiefly from Andrew Latimer and Peter Bardens, the album was greeted with muted success and MCA did not take an option for a second album.

Camel’s attempt at a commercial record unfortunately fall pretty flat with Rain Dances, continuing a string of albums that seem to lie short of the output of Camel and Mirage. The wandering ways of the album make for a confusing feel for radio-play, leaving front-man Andrew Latimer’s motives a little unclear. There are definitely good tracks here, but the album yields nothing special enough to leave a lasting impression on the listener. If you are a fan of early period Camel there is a good chance you will take to this album. The infusion of Celtic folk melodies lend the music a beautifully ethereal air. An album to savour.

Бессменный лидер группы Andrew Latimer для проведения этого концерта вновь собрал вместе один из последних составов CAMEL: Colin Bass (бас), Denis Clement (барабаны), Guy LeBlanc (клавиши), а также пригласил специального гостя - клавишника Jan Schelhaas'a, который участвовал в записи пластинок CAMEL "Nude" и "I Can See Your House From Here".

In August 1972 Camel signed with MCA Records and their eponymous debut album Camel (1973) was released six months later  . Camel returned to the concept album for their next recording: Nude (1981), is based on a true story about a Japanese soldier (Hiroo Onoda) found on an island many years after World War II had ended, not having realised the war was over. Duncan Mackay provided most of the keyboards in lieu of Watkins and Schelhaas, who were involved in other projects, but returned for the tour.
