This Site was originally spread through the internet via the rec.music.progressive newsgroup in the form of a single file which grew into a 60K discography. Various older version of the discography (dating back in 1993!) have found their way around the web, yet this web site holds the most recent and updated information. In the beginning of 1996 a first HTML version of the entire text became available, and in October 1996 the single file was converted to a REAL site. The site has been fully reconstructed in March 1997. It now contains about 180 HTML files, 170 graphic images, and covers 4.2 Megas

You can also navigate using the simple text links at the bottom of each page. On each section there a list of sub-titles available on the dark left margin.

This page is best viewed with Netscape 3.0, although it should be compatible with previous versions as well. I've checked it on Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3.0 and it worked fine, apart for the color of the Links. I may be able to correct that when I have time.
This site is intended to Provide Information for everyone. Therefore it includes LOTS of material, and I make all my resources available here. I restrict myself not to get carried away with graphics and effects so that users wi th 640x480 screens and 'only' 256 colors can enjoy these pages just as anyone else. Some pages though, (such as the Songs Cross-Reference) may be a bit too difficult for older machines to handle.
Editor's Disclaimer
The data and other resources presented in this site are not mine. I therefore hold no claim for it.
I do, however, request that these net etiquette will be followed:
I allowed myself to give some description of each album, in order to help you find what you're looking for. The opinions expressed here are mine, and I've done my best to make them appropriate. If you find stuff that's irrelevant or offending in your opinion - write me about it. Please note that Camel has gone through several stages through more than 30 years of its existence, and although I tried to give positive description of all albums, they do vary and may appeal to different musical tastes.
The sources for the information on this file are my correspondence with other fans through e-mail, Gibraltar digests, the Internet "All Music Guide", "Camelogue" - the Camel mailing list, Camel's tour programs, my records and CDs collection, Camel Productions' Newspaper The Nature of the Beast, John Tracy's liner notes from miscellaneous Deram CD releases, Paris Ford from Camel Productions, and Susan Hoover and Andy Latimer themselves, who answered many of my questions.

The graphics on this site are all original (apart for obvious scans from albums and tour programs). The animated Weeping Camel (at the bottom of this page) is based on the original logo designed by Modular, the stars variation on the original theme was designed by Brian Kirk. I redrew it based on the album scan from Jim Preston's The Camel Page - Thanks!. Feel free to use that animated GIF in your pages - I'd appreciate if you'd also link it to this page.
The material found in this archive may be "ancient" in Internet terms; The origins of some of the material escape my memory and records.
