CAMEL - The Single Factor

 1982 The Single Factor (SHM-CD Universal Japan 2013)

The Single Factor, lanzado en 1982, es el noveno álbum de estudio de la banda inglesa de rock progresivo Camel. El álbum era esencialmente un álbum de obligación contractual, creado bajo la presión de Decca Records para producir un sencillo exitoso, y la naturaleza "hecha a pedido" de su composición resultó en una selección de canciones descritas como "extrañas" en el sitio web oficial de la banda. . A diferencia de los álbumes anteriores de Camel, The Single Factor consta exclusivamente de composiciones más cortas de entre 3 y 5 minutos de duración.

El guitarrista Andrew Latimer fue el único miembro original que quedó, aunque el teclista original Peter Bardens regresó para una aparición especial en 'Sasquatch'. Según las notas del transatlántico, el baterista original Andy Ward, que había aparecido en todos los álbumes anteriores de Camel, ahora estaba ausente "después de una lesión grave en la mano". En realidad, la lesión fue autoinfligida, y años después se reveló que se vio obligado a retirarse por problemas de salud mental.

El álbum fue reeditado el 8 de septiembre de 2009 por Esoteric Recordings con una versión extra de "You Are the One".

Anthony Phillips aparece en este álbum, tocando la guitarra, el órgano y el sintetizador.
