Maybe I need to give that one a closer listen, I was about ready to hit eject until "Echoes" kicked in.

Someone could write a thesis on whether Camel's "Down on the Farm" influenced Spinal Tap's "Sex Farm", as both are tributes to the erotic possibilities inherent in agricultural labour.

I mostly thought of Blur's "In The Country" but Camel's song is more about farm work than anything

no standalone Mirage reissue? that one still goes for a decent price and every time my local shop gets it in it apparently sells within a day

Don't mind a bit of Camel but I'm not entirely sure I need 32 discs of them

What's crazy is that it isn't much more expensive than Dylan's 4-disc Budokan thing. Box set pricing is really weird right now.
