A new, larger version of Camel debuted on Nude, a concept album about a Japanese soldier stranded on a deserted island during World War II and staying there, oblivious to the outside world, for 29 years. More ambitious than the preceding I Can See Your House from Here, Nude is in many ways just as impressive. Although it's a less accessible effort, it has a number of quite intriguing passages, particularly since it boasts heavier improvisation, orchestration, and even some world-beat influences. It's not as spacey as Camel's earlier progressive rock records, yet it is quite atmospheric, creating its own entrancing world.

LABELS: MINT/NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of labels - one spindle trace on one side, none on the other
VINYL Visual: MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new
VINYL Audio: MINT
Plays as-new throughout - the (very) occasional static tick of new vinyl noted but all new vinyl needs to be "played-in" - I did not clean this copy as it looks immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins - nothing at all really anyway
SLEEVE: MINT
As crisp, clean, sharp and fresh as the day it was made
TOUR PROGRAMME: MINT
PRESS RELEASE AND TICKET STUB: NEAR MINT
Some not unexpected light creasing but otherwise amazing condition - clean, unmarked and undamaged
