CAMEL NEAR MINT VINYL 'I CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE' 

GREAT BRITISH PROG ROCK!

I Can See Your House From Here Review by Matthew Plichta

Courtesy of AllMusic.com

Although not an honest representation of the band's character, this is undoubtedly their most popular album. The one-time addition of American Kit Watkins led to some fine keyboard lead work. Rupert Hine's resourceful production, and appearances by Phil Collins and Mel Collins, round out this strong release. "Survival" and "Who We Are" feature some fine orchestrations, and guitarist Andy Latimer delivers an exceptional lead on the album's closer "Ice."
