Welcome to the official Galahad merchandise page. We stock all available Galahad CDs/LPs plus a few other sundry bits and pieces etc. on this page.

Although, if you are an American or Canadian customer it maybe worth you ordering directly from our North American distribution partner ‘The Bandwagon USA’ who keep a comprehensive stock of Galahad items. This will, hopefully, save on postage costs which, unfortunately, have spiralled upwards in the last couple of years. Here is the link: Galahad – The Band Wagon USA

The Last Great Adventurer: CD

£9.50

Galahad is very pleased to announce the release of a brand new studio album ‘The Last Great Adventurer’.

This latest opus, the band’s eleventh studio album, has been several years in the making and most of the songs on the album actually pre-date the previous ‘Seas of Change’ album from 2018! Plus, due the constraints of the recent Covid emergency, the album was recorded at several locations over the last couple of years by the various band members and finally pulled together, edited, mixed and mastered, as usual, by engineer/producer extraordinaire Karl Groom (Threshold/Dragonforce/Pendragon/Arena/Yes etc.).

As well as the established nucleus of Stu Nicholson (vocals), Dean Baker (keyboards) and Spencer Luckman (drums) ‘The Last Great Adventurer’ is also the first Galahad studio album to feature Mark Spencer (Twelfth Night/Alan Reed) on bass guitar throughout as well as making some great contributions on backing vocals and triangle!

Lee Abraham, now very much established as the band’s guitarist, also adds his own inimitable stamp to the album with some great guitar playing plus several blinding trademark guitar solos.

The main album consists of five tracks plus two bonus tracks on the CD including, at long last, a new version of ‘Another Life Not Lived’ originally written by the late and much missed Neil Pepper and Stu back in 2009.

Musically the album has a crisp contemporary sound but also still includes various nods to the band’s progressive heritage particularly in the closing title track which is a very personal tribute to Stuart’s father, Bob.

‘The Last Great Adventurer’ CD will be available for pre-order directly from our official band website (www.galahadonline.com) on 19th September 2022. The CD version will be released officially on 24th October 2022 followed by the digital download/streaming version on 7th November 2022 which will be available from all the usual platforms including our official Galahad Bandcamp site (https://galahad1.bandcamp.com).

A vinyl gatefold LP version will be released at some point jointly with our friends at Oskar Productions in Poland, hopefully in 2022, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a release date at this time but will make an announcement as soon we know when they will become available.

Following Ghosts : Double gatefold LP on gold vinyl - Limited Edition of 200 Only

£32.00

Following on from the release of the very expansive ‘Following Ghosts’ 3CD set last year we are now very pleased to announce that, in conjunction with our friends at Oskar Production in Poland, the album will be released as a double gatefold vinyl LP for the first time ever.

The version on the LP will be Karl Groom’s 2019 mix which was

The version on the LP will be Karl Groom’s 2019 mix which was painstakingly put together from the digitised original two inch 24 track tapes which date back to 1997. This mix has freshened up the original tracks breathing new life in to this twenty-four year old album.

The Following Ghosts LP will be available in several versions including a standard black vinyl version, a limited edition gold version and very limited orange and red splatter disc version of which only 100 copies have been pressed.

Each LP will also contain a CD of ‘Alternative Ghosts’ which contains recently recorded alternative versions of every track from the original album.

Galahad Electric Company - Soul Therapy

£9.00

Avalon Records is proud to present a second ‘unexpected’ new album ‘Soul Therapy’ from Galahad off shoot project the ‘Galahad Electric Company’, featuring Dean and Stu, less than a year after their ‘When the battle Is Over’ album was released.

The album features seven brand new songs written in a very productive four week period straddling November

The album features seven brand new songs written in a very productive four week period straddling November and December 2020 plus several songs left over from the Summer 2020 recording sessions for ‘When the battle Is Over’. Again, due to more constraints than normal as far as the recording process was concerned a certain amount of experimentation was involved with some of the songs, a few of which were completely ‘ad-libbed’ in the moment as it were. As with the previous album Dean and Stu didn’t work face to face at all during this latest project.

‘Soul Therapy’ is also, as the name suggests, one of the most personal and raw collections of songs ever written by Stu, indeed no less than six of the tracks relate directly to the sad passing of Stu’s mother, Maureen, in November 2020 from Lymphoma cancer after a long, often tortuous but heroic five year battle against the disease. Suitably sympathetic sound tracks and arrangements were provided as usual by the incredibly creative and empathetic Dean Baker.

Thus, much of the subject matter is very much centered around strong, often dark and extreme emotions felt in trying to deal with the grief of such a loss including those of anger, frustration, pain and sorrow along with more reflective feelings such as healing, acceptance and hope for the future as well as fond memories of the past. The writing process also proved extremely cathartic and helped towards dealing with such a tumultuous and life changing event.

Soul Therapy is now available to pre-order and will be officially released on 20th October 2021.

Galahad Electric Company - When The Battle Is Over: CD - All sold out

Not available

Avalon Records is proud to present 'When the Battle is Over' by Galahad off shoot project the ‘Galahad Electric Company’.

During these strange times in which we have found ourselves over the last few months it appears that Dean Baker and Stu Nicholson have tapped in to a rich vein of creativity resulting in a substantial collection of new music and

Avalon Records is proud to present 'When the Battle is Over' by Galahad off shoot project the ‘Galahad Electric Company’.

Therefore, the time seemed right to re-activate the ’Galahad Electric Company’ for the first time in over 20 years resulting in a new album ‘When the Battle is Over’.

Much of the material is in a more ‘electronic’ vein as you would expect from Dean who, after all, is the Galahad keyboard player, but there are also a few musical surprises in order to mix things up a bit.

Also, due to more constraints than normal as far as the recording process was concerned a certain amount of experimentation was involved with some of the songs, a few of which were ad-libbed and written in an almost ‘stream of consciousness’ manner!

Stu remarked “This is the first album we have ever recorded whereby neither of us have actually been in the same room at the same time at any point! The actual main writing and recording process only took about five weeks in May and June which is very quick for us! In fact, it was a very easy, fun and quick album to write and record which should, in theory, always be the case but quite often isn’t. “

The end result is an eclectic mixture of music and songs, examples of which are an adaptation of a poem by the famous 19th Century Dorset dialect poet and friend of Thomas Hardy, William Barnes (My Orcha’d in Linden Lea) and even Stu’s cat Sammy Gorgeous contributes ‘meows’ to ‘Mysterioso. There are also nods to dance, trip hop, folk, krautrock and even opera and gospel influences, all scattered throughout.

Following Ghosts - Expanded Edition: 3CD set - Now sold out but can be downloaded from our official Bandcamp site.

Not available

We are very proud to announce the release 'Following Ghosts - Expanded Edition' which is a very comprehensive 3CD re-issue containing a brand new re-mix of the 1998 album from the original master tapes by Karl Groom (Threshold/Pendragon/Arena/Yes).

The second CD 'Alternative Ghosts' contains contemporary alternative recordings of every single track

The second CD 'Alternative Ghosts' contains contemporary alternative recordings of every single track from the original album.

The third CD is re-mastered version of the experimental 1999 'De-Constructing Ghosts' album, which is effectively a re-mix album consisting of new tracks created by various DJs AND other musicians from the FG multi-tracks to effectively create brand new songs.

This release also contains brand new art work, rare band photos, album reviews plus interviews with several of those who were involved with the recording of 'Following Ghosts' and 'De-Constructing Ghosts' at the time.

The first 500 CD albums ordered directly from the band will also include a copy of the original CD release booklet as well as an original CD tray insert signed by all of the current band members.

In total this definitive release contains a whopping 37 tracks!

Sleepers double gatefold LP - White: Vinyl

£25.00

Note: Shipping of orders will commence week beginning 1st June 2020.

Almost twenty five years ago in September 1995 Galahad released ‘Sleepers, their ‘very difficult’ third album. The album was recorded, engineered and mixed by Tony Arnold a cohort of Robert Fripp/King Crimson at the time and therein was the difficulty. Tony was recommended to the band in 1991 because of his work with Robert, however, unbeknown to Galahad and because of Tony’s commitments to other projects including the King Crimson ‘Frame by Frame’ boxed set the whole ‘Sleepers’ project became an extremely long and arduous journey culminating in Wild West style stand off when the final ‘tranche’ of money was exchanged for the album master and master tapes in Spring 1995!

The album took over four years to come to fruition, which crippled much of the band’s momentum which had been built up following their BBC Radio One Rock War win and release of their ‘Nothing Is Written’ album in 1991. It also caused considerable stress amongst the members and even their respective partners and also became the most expensive album to date that the band have ever recorded, which was compounded by the fact that the band had no record deal at this point and were totally self-funded. Funds were borrowed from family and friends to pay for the ongoing recording sessions with no product to sell until its eventual release, which seemed like an eternity at the time.

However, Galahad remained bloody minded and resolute as usual and despite all the problems associated with the album’s gestation it was released and all loans were repaid in less than twelve months after it hit the shelves. Rob Ayling, head honcho at Voiceprint Records, helped the band massively by organising pressing and distribution resulting in Galahad achieving their best selling album to that point, one which still sells consistently to this day.

Fast forward to 2020, Galahad are still very much alive and kicking, and our good friends at Oskar have very kindly agreed to release ‘Sleepers’ on vinyl for the very first time as a double gatefold LP, incorporating several extra tracks. The band were never happy with the original production but there was little that could be done and the band were, frankly, mentally and emotionally worn out! However, after having tweaked various aspects of the original recording, courtesy of Karl Groom, listening back to it now it actually sounds fine, very different to Karl’s modern production but then again the band were a very different beast in 1995, although there are certain trademarks which still and will always remain.

Track list: Side A 1. Sleepers 2. Julie Anne Side B 3. Live and Learn 4. Dentist Song 5. Pictures of Bliss 6. Before, After and Beyond Side C 7. Exorcising Demons 8. Middleground 9. Suffering in Silence Side D 10. Amaranth 11. Pictures of Bliss (alternative version) 12. Exorcising Demons (2015 version)

Constellations: Dean Baker

£9.85

Avalon Records in conjunction with Oskar Productions is very pleased and proud to announce the release of ‘Constellations’ the first ever solo album from Dean Baker who also happens to be the main writer and arranger for the established UK ‘Prog’ band Galahad.

You could say that ‘Constellations’ is an accidental album borne out of personal tragedy.

You could say that ‘Constellations’ is an accidental album borne out of personal tragedy. Dean’s good friend Ray succumbed to Cancer in 2018 and Dean subsequently inherited a rather large CD collection and began listening to some of the gems contained within what was, in fact, more of a music library, including albums by iconic keyboard visionaries such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream to name but a few.

After having listened to a lot of music by the above artists Dean was massively inspired to write some music in a similar vein over the course of the Summer of 2018 and before he knew it he had over twenty new tracks to work on! These were then distilled and whittled down to the ten tracks which appear on the final version of this album.

Dean also called upon a few fellow cohorts to contribute including Lee Abraham and Stu from Galahad on guitars and vocals respectively as well Anastasia Coburg from Coburg on vocals.

You could say that the resulting album is paying homage to some of the pioneering synthesizer artists of the 1970s but it is also still very much a Dean Baker vision incorporating modern production values and Dean’s very own musical slant on modern electronic music.

‘Constellations’ is dedicated to music lover Ray Chiles (1959 -2018)

Track listing:

Le Chat Qui Pêche (9.14)
Off the Shoulder of Orion (4.33)
Here and Now (4.39) (Vocals - Stu Nicholson)

ONE FOR THE RECORD - The authorised biography of GALAHAD plus companion Video Archive DVD - Second Edition - Fully updated to the end of 2017

£14.00

Written by Andrew Wild, whose previous work includes ‘Play On’, the authorised biography of Twelfth Night, ‘One for the Record’ is a story of one band’s refusal to lie down and be ignored by an indifferent industry.

‘One for the Record’, the official, authorised biography of Galahad, charts the first quarter century of the Dorset-based band’s existence: the highs and the lows, the challenges and the achievements, the numerous line-up changes (Yes have nothing on Galahad!) including six keyboard players and eight bassists, the occasional madness on the road, the writing, recording, rehearsing and gigging.

Andrew Wild has extensively interviewed the current members of the band, as well as eleven past members and many friends, associates and supporters and provides a detailed book that will delight fans.

The book includes a complete discography, timeline, a full list of Galahad gigs and many colour and black and white photographs.

This publication also comes with a companion DVD video archive containing rare and previously unseen live and studio footage of the band from 1986 to 2010.

DVD track listing is: 1. Second Life – Regent Centre, Christchurch (1986) 2. City of Freedom - Regent Centre, Christchurch (1986) 3. Strangers - Regent Centre, Christchurch (1986) 4. Winter in Berlin - Regent Centre, Christchurch (1986) 5. Chamber of Horrors – The Marquee, London (1991) 6. Room 801 - The Marquee, London (1991) 7. Dentist Song – Rotherham Rugby Club (1993) 8.

Seas of Change: CD

£9.85

‘Seas of Change’ is the follow up to the 2017 ‘Quiet Storms’ album which contained fifteen short(ish) tracks and was a much more mellow affair whereas ‘Seas of Change’ is the polar opposite and consists of just one forty three minute track, creating, what we think is, a full on no holds barred prog/rock rollercoaster of an album. The CD version does, however, also include a couple of extended, re-arranged edits of 'Dust' and 'Smoke.

‘Seas of Change’ is a kind of hybrid in terms of musical style, featuring more traditional, occasionally pastoral, elements reminiscent of the ‘older’ Galahad sound whilst also incorporating the heavier guitar and more modern ‘techno’ keyboard sounds of the last few studio albums.

‘Seas of Change’ is also the first album to feature Lee Abraham on all guitars following his re-joining of the band in the Spring of 2017. Lee is already familiar to the band and a fully paid up part of the Galahad family having been the band’s bass player from 2005 to 2009 and appearing on one of their most critically and commercially successful albums ‘Empires Never Last’ as well as on a couple of live albums. We feel that Lee has added his own stamp and expanded the Galahad sound palette whilst still retaining the Galahad feel and overall sound.

‘Seas of Change’ is also Tim Ashton’s first appearance on a Galahad album containing completely brand new material since he appeared on ‘Nothing Is Written‘ back in 1990!

As ever the album was pulled together mixed and mastered by engineer/producer extraordinaire Karl Groom (Threshold/Dragonforce/Pendragon/Arena etc.) at Thin Ice Studios in Surrey.

Musically, ‘Seas of Change’ features just the five main Galahad members plus long term honorary member Sarah Bolter who makes an appearance on flute, clarinet and soprano sax.

Hopefully this album will appeal to existing fans of the band and maybe we’ll pick up a few new fans along the way.

Quiet Storms: CD

£9.85

Quiet Storms is a new Galahad album with a difference.

As the title suggests, Quiet Storms shows a more mellow and at times pastoral side to the band’s output containing almost none of the bombast and heaviness of the previous three studio albums, instead the majority of the songs and their arrangements evoke a more laid back, spacious and introspective atmosphere.

As well as featuring songs included as ‘extras’ on recent re-issues, Quiet Storms also includes several new songs along with new re-workings of older songs plus a few tracks which were included on the 2014 EP’s now appearing on an album for the first time.

Unusually for Galahad the album also contains a couple of cover versions, one being a stripped down piano, violin and vocal version of Rammstein’s ‘Mein Herz Brennt’ as well as a re-working of the John Grant track ‘Marz’ complete with additional words by Stu which, ironically, makes it a deeply personal track.

As well as the core of the band Quiet Storms also includes several guests such Christina Booth from Magenta on guest vocals, Karl Groom from Threshold on acoustic guitars and occasional keyboards, long time Galahad cohort Sarah Bolter on flute, clarinet, soprano saxophone and backing vocals as well as Louise Curtis on violin.

Track listing: 1. Guardian Angel (3.54) 2. Iceberg (4.10) 3. Beyond the Barbed Wire (4.28) 4. Mein Herz Brennt (5.03) 5. Termination (5.17) 6. This Life Could Be My Last (5.50) 7. Pictures of Bliss (2.11) 8. Willow Way (4.13) 9. Easier Said than Done (4.18) 10. Melt (4.28) 11. Weightless (5.30) 12. Shine (9.15) 13. Don’t Lose Control (5.40) 14. Marz (And Beyond) (6.14) 15. Guardian Angel (Hybrid) (4.43)

Empires Never Last: The Deluxe Edition - CD album

£9.85

Galahad are pleased to announce that the new re-mixed, re-mastered and generally re-vamped version of 'Empires Never Last' is now available both as a download and on CD.

The digi-pack CD version also includes two additional tracks being alternative versions of 'Termination' and 'This Life Could Be My Last' along with additional art work not used on the original release.

We are making various demo recordings of ideas from the Empires writing sessions available for download from the website, some of these will be recognisable others will not as they were never finalised for inclusion on the album but give an interesting (!) insight in to what we experimenting with, musically, at the time! This album is called 'Empires: A Curious Companion' and is available from the 'downloads' section of this merchandise page.

The Full track listing is:

De-Fi-Ance
Termination
I Could Be God

Empires Never Last : Standard Black Vinyl Double Gatefold LP - SOLD OUT

Not available

At last, Galahad's highly acclaimed 2007 album 'Empires Never Last' is available as a double LP on 180g vinyl.

Housed in a strikingly beautiful cover this release also contains three extra tracks on side four, being stripped back versions of 'Termination', 'This Life Could Be My Last' and a brand new 'orchestral' version of Empires Never Last.

Also, every LP ordered directly from our own merchandise page will come with a free CD copy of 'A Curious Companion - Demos & Cuts from Empires', a collection of demo tracks and song ideas some of which were used on the final version of 'Empires Never Last' and some of which were not. This is the first time that this 'companion' album has been available in a hard copy format.

NEW: When Worlds Collide: Double CD album - SOLD OUT

Not available

In order to celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary Galahad will be releasing a double CD retrospective with a twist, the twist being that ten of the tracks included are brand new re-recorded versions of old Galahad songs, some dating back to 1985, the year the band formed, including one thirty year old track (City of Freedom) which has never been recorded before!

In some cases the new versions are similar to the originals but in other cases the songs have been re-worked and re-arranged considerably, either way we have tried our best to be sympathetic to the spirit of the originals whilst trying to bring them up to date in terms of their sonic quality and also so that they compare favourably, hopefully, with the Galahad sound of 2015!

As this is a rather special album, not to mention epic as it clocks in at around 2hours 40 minutes, we have also included a few strategically placed ‘tributes’ to a few of our original influences within some of the newly recorded ‘old’ tracks, so it’ll be interesting to see if they’ll get spotted!

The remaining tracks included on this career spanning album are taken from the three 'Thin Ice' albums and the recent EP's.

There are also a few guests making an appearance on this release, including Karl Groom on acoustic guitar, Mark Andrews, Galahad keyboard player from 1988 -1991, plays piano on three tracks and Sarah Bolter sings backing vocals on Ocean Blue.

Hopefully, this collection is a fair representation of the Galahad cannon and will appeal to existing fans of the band and will also, perhaps, act as a taster to those yet to dip their toes in the world of Galahad music.

Mein Herz Brennt CD EP: CD

£4.49

Following on from the release of two EP’s earlier in the year Galahad are pleased to announce their third and final EP release of 2014, the ‘Mein Herz Brennt’ EP which completes the trilogy.

This release contains four differing versions of Mein Herz Brennt, ranging from an atmospheric laid back piano, vocal and violin interpretation to the full on industrial metallic blast of the ‘fully loaded’ version.

What started out as just a bit of fun jamming a in the rehearsal studio eventually morphed in to several fully fledged versions of this ‘Rammstein’ classic.

The tracks were recorded and mixed by the rather wonderful Karl Groom at Thin Ice Studios in Surrey.

Guardian Angel CD EP

£4.49

Galahad are proud to announce their second release of 2014, the ‘Guardian Angel EP’.

This release contains a stripped down version of the title track featuring only piano, vocal, acoustic guitar and strings, which shows a more sensitive side to the band.

A Guardian Angel ‘hybrid’ has also been included which contains elements of the original track and parts from 'Guardian Angel - Reprise' melded together to create a more spacious, organic version.

The ‘Guardian Angel EP’ will be available as a download from the band’s website as well from several digital on-line platforms such as I-tunes, CD Baby, Amazon etc.

It will also be available, from the band, as a limited edition CD EP which will also contain the original album versions as well as a piano and vocal version of ‘Beyond the Barbed Wire’, the original of which appears on the ‘Battle Scars’ album.

As with the previous ‘Seize the Day EP’ we hope that this release will appeal to existing fans of the band as well as those who are intrigued and interested in the band but have yet to dip their toes in to the murky world of Galahad music.

Seize the Day CD EP

£4.99

Following on from the release of two critically acclaimed full length albums in 2012 (Battle Scars and Beyond the Realms of Euphoria), Galahad are back again with ‘Seize the Day’, the first of several EP's which will be released during 2014.

‘Seize the Day’ has been edited, tweaked and re-mixed by the band and Karl Groom and makes a perfect single, in our opinion of course!

It will be available as a download from the band’s website as well as a limited edition CD EP which will also contain the original album version as well as several other re-recorded and re-worked Galahad songs:

‘21st Century Painted Lady’ is based upon ‘Painted Lady’ which was written and first recorded in the mid 1980’s but has been given a major overhaul and now includes a second verse which should have but didn’t appear on the original version!

‘Bug Eye’, originally from the 1998 album ‘Following Ghosts’ has also been re-worked and brought up to date for 2013. A live version of the original arrangement is also included on the EP.

‘Seize the Day’ should appeal to existing fans of the band as well as those who are intrigued and interested in the band but have yet to dip their toes in to the murky world of Galahad music.

Track listing: 1. Seize the Day (Single version) 2. Seize the Day (Album version) 3. 21st Century Painted Lady 4. 21st Century Painted Lady (Instrumental) 5. Bug Eye 2014 6. Bug Eye (Live)

One For the Record - Video Anthology DVD 1985 - 2010

£4.99

The Galahad Video Anthology 1985 - 2010 DVD, previously only available with the purchase of the 'One For the Record' band biography is now available in it's own right.

This DVD contains rare live and studio film footage (of varying quality it has to be said!) of the band taken over the years.

However, it does give a great insight in to what the band looked and sounded like at various times during their long and varied career!

Possibly more for completists but also for the curious. Warts and all but real and full of that inimitable Galahad spirit! ;-)

Press release:
‘Battle Scars’ is the 7th studio album from established English rock/progressive band Galahad.
Recorded, engineered and mixed by Karl Groom (Threshold) at Thin Ice studios. ‘Battle Scars’, Galahad’s seventh studio album, shows the band evolving from their well received and critically acclaimed 2007 album ‘Empires Never Last’. ‘Battle Scars’ is the first of two new studio albums from Galahad scheduled for release this year.
‘Battle Scars’ contains a myriad of styles from rock and prog through to techno, ambient and dance sounds via classical arrangements. Throughout, the production is modern and pristine, incorporating powerful, direct guitar riffs, lush keyboard arrangements and occasional quieter passages of subtle beauty, melding together to create an often massively epic sound.
‘Battle Scars’ is Galahad music for the 21st century: very much looking forward but also showing occasional and affectionate nods to the analogue past.
In recognition of the band’s 25 year plus history, a new recording of their classic song Sleepers is included as a bonus track on the CD and download version.
As always, the proof of the pudding is in the listening. Go on, give it a whirl, leave your pre-conceptions at the door and play it loud! We know it’s our best album yet, and hope you agree.

Sleepers - 20th Anniversary Expanded Re-mastered Edition - CD album

Not available

Twenty years ago in September 2005 Galahad released ‘Sleepers, their ‘very difficult’ third album. The album was recorded, engineered and mixed by Tony Arnold a cohort of Robert Fripp/King Crimson at the time and therein was the difficulty. Tony was recommended to the band in 1991 because of his work with Robert, however, unbeknown to Galahad and because of Tony’s commitments to other projects including the King Crimson ‘Frame by Frame’ boxed set the whole ‘Sleepers’ project became an extremely long and arduous journey culminating in Wild West style stand off when the final ‘tranche’ of money was exchanged for the album master and master tapes in Spring 1995!

The album took over four years to come to fruition, which crippled the band’s momentum which had been built up following their BBC Radio One Rock War win and release of their ‘Nothing Is Written’ album in 1991. It also caused considerable stress amongst the members and even their respective partners and also became the most expensive album to this day that the band have ever recorded, which was difficult as the band had no record deal at this point and were totally self-funded. Funds were borrowed from family and friends to pay for the ongoing recording sessions with no product to sell until its eventual release, which seemed like an eternity at the time.

However, Galahad remained bloody minded and resolute as usual and despite all the problems associated with the album’s gestation it was released and all loans were repaid in less than twelve months after it hit shelves. Rob Ayling, head honcho at Voiceprint Records, helped the band massively by organising pressing and distribution resulting in Galahad achieving their best selling album to that point, one which still sells consistently to this day.

Fast forward to 2015, Galahad are still here, as bloody minded as ever, our good friends at Oskar have kindly agreed to release a 20th anniversary re-mastered version, including a couple of extra tracks. The band were never happy with the original production but there was little that could be done and the band were, frankly, mentally and emotionally worn out! However, after having tweaked various aspects of the original recording, courtesy of Karl Groom, listening back to it now it actually sounds fine, very different to Karl’s modern production of but then again the band were a very different beast in 1995, although there are certain trademarks which still and will always remain.

Year Zero - 10th Anniversary Expanded Edition - CD album

Not available

'Year Zero' will soon be available again on CD after an absence of several years.

This edition, in conjunction with Oskar Productions, marks the 10th anniversary of the original release of the album, has also been re-mastered and includes a second live 'official bootleg' CD containing a rare live performance of the album almost in it's entirety at Mr. Kyps in Poole, Dorset in October 2002.

Press Release:
2012 has been a very busy year for Galahad having released TWO new studio albums (‘Battle Scars’ and ‘Beyond the Realms of Euphoria’) as well as a live CD/DVD (‘Whitchurch 92/93 – Live Archives Vol. 2’). 2012 is also the Tenth anniversary of the release of their ‘Year Zero’ album which is available once again , after a long absence, re-mastered and expanded in a brand new digi pack format.

‘Year Zero’ is actually a loose concept album performed as one piece of continuous music and is the most instrumentally orientated album Galahad has recorded. However the music was split in to fifteen separate sections in order to make it more CD and ‘download’ friendly!

As you would expect with a Galahad release, ‘Year Zero’ contains a myriad of styles including classical, baroque and Jazz interludes, a heavy psychedelic section incorporating techno beats and industrial grooves as well as the usual nods to traditional prog and heavy rock punctuated by some quieter, more sensitive passages before the album reaches a grand, rousing choral crescendo to finish.

As well as the core band members, including the late and much missed Neil Pepper, ‘Year Zero’ also features performances from the Cantori Catholic Choir, Sarah Bolter on woodwind and backing vocals as well as John Wetton (UK, Asia, King Crimson) on guest lead vocals, who even momentarily re-visits a classic Asia refrain, albeit in an extremely subliminal fashion!

This expanded edition also contains a rare live performance of ‘Year Zero’ taken directly from the desk of a Galahad show at Mr Kyps in Poole, England in 2002.

Whilst ‘Year Zero’ is quite different from subsequent Galahad releases it is equally as valid and shows a band still evolving and experimenting to great effect with a range of musical and lyrical ideas. ‘Year Zero’ is a must for all Galahad aficionados but should also be of interest to those wishing to explore the Galahad back catalogue further as the album is, in our opinion, an often overlooked gem from the early noughties!

So sit down, relax, turn up the hi-fi, close your eyes and let ‘Year Zero’ take you an extraordinary musical journey……

Whitchurch 92/93 - Live Archives Vol. 2 - CD/DVD digipack

Not available

Many, many moons ago, way back in the early 1990’s, a couple of brothers and very enthusiastic live music fans, Dave and Pete Martin, decided to organise occasional rock shows at the village hall of a small, quiet but idyllic Hampshire village called Whitchurch. They very kindly asked if Galahad would play a few of these gigs after having seen us, I believe, at the London Astoria playing with Pendragon amongst others in 1991.

As a result Galahad played several gigs at this bijou, on the face of it unremarkable venue. But these gigs were special, very special, small yes, but with the audience packed in like sardines, the beer flowing freely, hot sweat running down the walls, the atmosphere was electric, strangely reminiscent of some heady times at the Marquee Club in London, which was odd considering we were playing in the most unlikely of venues tucked away deep in the Hampshire countryside. These were some of the most memorable and fun shows the band ever played and we think the members of the incredibly receptive audience would agree, if of course they can remember!

Those gigs will always linger long in the memory, Pete and Dave went on to better things in bigger venues, but these gigs were where it all started and will always have a special place within the heart and the history of the band.

Fast forward to 2011…and the good news is that these shows were recorded both in audio and video format, plus our dear friends at OSKAR Productions in Poland asked if they could release these now ‘historical’ musical documents, to which we replied ‘of course’ you can. Thus ‘Whitchurch - 92/93 - Live Archives vol. 2’ will be released as a digipak double album featuring an audio CD of the show played by the band on 18 July 1992 and a DVD of the show the band played on the 16 July 1993, which is made all the more poignant as both concerts feature Neil on bass guitar, who was in fine form, as were the rest of us at the time!

Galahad Acoustic Quintet - Not All There - CD album

£6.95

Mainly acoustic, slightly experimental Galahad spin off project from 1994, featuring Stu, Spence, Roy, Neil from Galahad, plus ex-Galahad keyboard player Mark Andrews as well as Sarah Bolter on flute,clarinet and saxophone. This album was recorded live in the studio with several tracks being improvised. The result being a far more mellow, folkish album than the normal Galahad output.

Galahad Electric Company - De-Constructing Ghosts

Not available

Probably the most radical release in the Galahad canon. Consisting of remixes from original vocal, guitar, keyboard and woodwind tracks taken from the Following Ghosts master tapes and used to 'build' completely new pieces of music.
Although not a dance re-mix album as such, there are a lot of breakbeat/house style beats along with more ethnic/eastern influences which Galahad has dabbled with over the years.
On reflection, although it was an unusual experiment there are some very interesting and creative moments on the album, which still sound fresh and contemporary after all these years later, proving conclusively that Galahad have never been just another,so called, Neo-Prog band!
