Camel: Pressure Points, Live In Concert, 2CD + Blu-ray Remastered Box Set is also upcoming release at Cherry Red. But says nothing about multi-channel or Stephen W. Tayler

• NEW 2CD / MULTI-REGION BLU-RAY VIDEO CLAMSHELL BOX SET FEATURING OF THE LIVE ALBUM ‘PRESSURE POINTS’ BY CAMEL.

• INCLUDING THE COMPLETE REMASTERED 1984 HAMMERSMITH ODEON CONCERT ON 2 CDs & A REGION FREE BLU-RAY VIDEO OF THE ‘PRESSURE POINTS’ CONCERT FILM.

• WITH AN ILLUSTRATED BOOKLET & ESSAY.

Issued in November 1984, the album was recorded at Hammersmith Odeon on 11 May 1984 on the band’s tour to promote the album ‘Stationary Traveller’. The concert was highly memorable and saw former member Peter Bardens join the band on stage for the closing part of the set.

Upon its original release the album was a single LP release and omitted six songs performed, including a rousing version of ‘Lady Fantasy’. To accompany the album release, Decca Records issued a separate long form video film of the concert also entitled ‘Pressure Points: Live in Concert’ which featured the entire performance.

This new 3 disc 2CD & MULTI-REGION Blu-Ray video version features two CDs of the concert remastered by Ben Wiseman, along with a video Blu-ray of the ‘Pressure Points’ concert film, and includes an illustrated booklet with essay.

O, Wise Ones -
Thank you once again for introducing me to a band I completely missed back in the day (I don’t think they had any airplay in the U.S.?)
A special tip of the hat to The Right Honorable @Stephen W Tayler - his surround mixes lured me into buying the box set and now I’m hooked!

 

[H.A.L.]

This exact box set caused my FOMO. I'll be in years of therapy, and probably won't pay for the box even then, other than buying everything else first day.

I'd ask if anyone here knew a good therapist for that, but if they did, they wouldn't be here.

I am in the same boat. I don’t think I ever heard a Camel song before I got peer pressured into picking it up by the QQ faithful. One of the things I have learned as I’ve crossed over the senior citizen line…..
With respect to finding “new” music, as in, music I’ve never heard before, I am better off looking to the past than to the present.

The good news is that you don’t need the box anymore if you want the surround mixes - since they are coming out as individual sets

Don't feel bad, I bought the box thinking it was Caravan.
