After recording a string of successful albums with Breathless, this would be the last studio album to feature Peter Bardens and heralded more line-up changes for the band.

Former Caravan and Hatfield and the North member Richard Sinclair had already been in Camel for some months and was soon joined by his cousin Dave Sinclair in a new Camel line-up.

Breathless features traditional Camel music along with the Canterbury influences associated with Richard Sinclair, making for a unique album.

This Esoteric Recordings reissue has been re-mastered from the original master tapes and includes the single version of ‘Rainbows End’ as a bonus track.
