Avalon Records is very pleased and proud to announce the release of a brand new Galahad studio album ‘The Long Goodbye’.
This latest opus, the band’s twelfth studio album, was recorded before, during and after the recent Covid emergency, and, as was the case with the previous album ‘The Last Great Adventurer’, was recorded at several locations over the last couple of years by the various band members and was finally edited, mixed and mastered, as usual, by our engineer/producer supreme Karl Groom (Threshold/Dragonforce/Pendragon/Arena/Yes etc.).
The album features the same line-up as TLGA of Stu Nicholson (vocals), Dean Baker (keyboards), Spencer Luckman (drums), Lee Abraham (guitars) and Mark Spencer (bass guitar).
As usual, a variety of topics are considered and written about on this album, some very personal, including the title track in which the ageing process and the difficult and tricky subject of early onset dementia is tackled, hopefully with a certain degree of poignancy.
‘The Long Goodbye’ CD version will be released officially on 23rd October 2023 followed by the digital download/streaming version in November 2023 which will be available from all the usual online digital platforms including our official Galahad Bandcamp site (https://galahad1.bandcamp.com).
Vinyl LP versions in a gatefold sleeve will be also released at some point jointly with our friends at Oskar Productions in Poland, hopefully towards the end of 2023. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a release date at this time but will make an announcement as soon we know when then they will become available. The LP will be available on both standard black and two coloured vinyl versions.
Please note that we will endeavour to send out pre-ordered CDs during the week beginning 23rd October.
