Notes
The Single Factor is the ninth studio album by English progressive rock band Camel recorded January–February 1982 and released in May 6, 1982. The album was essentially a contractual obligation album, created under pressure from Decca to produce a hit single, and the "made-to-order" nature of its composition resulted in a selection of songs described as "odd" on the band's official website. Unlike previous Camel albums, The Single Factor consists exclusively of shorter compositions around 3 to 5 minutes in length.
Guitarist Andrew Latimer was the only original member remaining, although original keyboardist Peter Bardens returned for a guest appearance on 'Sasquatch'.
Performed by:
Andrew Latimer – guitar, vocals / Peter Bardens & Anthony Phillips - organ / David Paton – bass guitar; vocals / Graham Jarvis, Simon Phillips & Dave Mattacks – drums / Mel Collins - saxophone

Скандинавское оригинальное издание отлично звучит! Понравилось больше, чем Японское 1982 г. Рекомендую!- Edited 11 months ago

The sound of this CD version is amazing. Much better than on the first pressing of the vinyl version. I'm astounded about this. - Edited one year ago
referencing The Single Factor (LP, Album) SKL 5328
not a terrible album, I know it doesn't measure up to their other releases but I do find this album listenable and I am typically not a fan of 80's music production sounds. UPDATE- Gave this album another listen and actually it sucks more than I thought after my initial listen. - I hope I did this alright, It's the same as the other scandinavian release except for the missing information on label Side A
