Camel: Mirage version on vinyl LP in Remastered edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Deram in cooperation with Gama (3) and Decca on 21. December 2024.

Their second album, "MIRAGE", raised their profile and the album artwork attracted the unwanted attention of the American cigarette subsidiary Camel, which demanded that the band change the artwork or face legal action. The US record company quickly designed new cover art to avoid legal trouble. The original packaging remained unchanged in the rest of the world, as Geoff Jukes had already agreed with the cigarette company's European branch to release small cigarette packs (5 cigarettes per pack) using Camel packaging, including a track listing. The managers in Europe were so excited that they visited the band in the studio and tried to convince CAMEL to rename the songs to "MIRAGE" (e.g. "Twenty To The Pack"). They also wanted CAMEL to dress their amps in camel skin, allow advertising and hand out cigarettes at all concerts. The latter was successful because Jukes negotiated a deal the band never knew about. The band became "militant" and a sarcastically amused Peter Bardens suggested the title of a song on the album, "Twenty Sticks Of Cancer".

Album spans genres Rock and Progressive rock.
