Home The Alchemist UK LP 1st press CBS ?– S 65550 1973 N/Mint  

I have decided to sell some of my own personnel collection and these were bought by myself on their release. I then recorded Reel to Reel and so mostly only played once or twice, so the quality of play is superb as is the vinyl condition Please read below for the items further description

The Alchemist is an album by British rock band Home, released in 1973 on the CBS Records label. It was the last album released by the group before they went their separate ways in 1974. Cliff Williams went on to join Bandit from 1975 to 1977 before he replaced Mark Evans in Australian hard rock band AC/DC. Guitarist Laurie Wisefield went on to achieve success with the British band Wishbone Ash from 1974 to 1985. The record also featured Jimmy Anderson on keyboards. Though the album was loved by the critics, it did not sell well commercially.
