Getting in touch with Camel and Camel Productions

Camel Production (CP for short) is a self owned company which has been managing Camel for over a decade now.
The best thing to do (if you haven't done it so far) is to visit their web site (www.CamelProductions.com) where you can find updated news, more information about the band, as well as purchase CDs of the band's latest offerings.
Camel Production publishes an e-mail based newsletter, entitled The Nature of the eBeast. To subscribe to the CP newsletter, please go to this location, or send a letter to camel@camelproductions.com.

Where to buy Camel albums

Camel Productions releases are available in the UK by Pinnacle Records.

Camel's CDs have been released by several labels, but I wish to express my believe that the ones by DERAM label are the most rewarding ones, at least when it comes to the informative sleeve notes. Regarding the sound quality - this I've never seriously examined, but I'm content with all the DERAM CDs I've got. I welcome any other opinions from you, dear reader.

Information from the latest years was brought to the fans via Camel's own newsletter, The Nature of the Beast. Web versions of these papers are available on this server in the Paper Archives. I recommend that you'd read an interview with Andy Latimer, from the Autumn 1994 issue.
