LIMITED EDITION ORANGE / BLUE 2LP + CD VINYL
Release Date: 11th February 2022
"Celebrating The Chameleons’ 40th Anniversary, this iconic concert is released on vinyl for the very first time.
The Camden Palace was a special performance recorded on the 11th of September 1984 for a satellite TV broadcast and features Middleton’s finest on top of their game, playing tracks taken from ‘Script of the Bridge’ and ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically’.
This album also includes four bonus tracks from the Arsenal concert, which was recorded for an independent Catalonian local TV channel in 1985.
The cover art has been exclusively designed by Chameleons guitarist Reg Smithies, who designed all the official Chameleons studio releases.
The Chameleons are an acknowledged influence on future generations of indie and alternative rock bands, including Stone Roses, The Charlatans, Smashing Pumpkins, The Flaming Lips, The Killers, The Horrors, The National and Interpol. Oasis main songwriter Noel Gallagher claims The Chameleons were an early influence on his song writing and stated in a recent interview: “I’d forgotten how much ‘Strange Times’ meant to me. It came out in ‘86. I was 19!! I’ve been listening to it every day since and I have to say it’s blown my mind... again! It must have influenced my early years as a song writer because I can hear ME in it everywhere!!”
Double LP pressed on ‘Chameleon’ (orange / blue) coloured vinyl. Also includes a copy of the album on CD, previously unseen photos and poster."
