The follow-up to The Snow Goose was recorded early in 1976 and reached 15 in Britain, where it was certified silver. Latimer called it very rushed. It was the last record by Latimer, Bardens, Ferguson and Ward together, and Mel Collins joined for the tour. Camel played it in full at the Royal Albert Hall on 17 September 2018, the last night of their Moonmadness tour.
