With many top-line guests, this concept album is part of a series of ALAN PARSONS PROJECT style releases based on the legendary Arthurian saga!

Remember way back in time, we sold – in large quantities - Alan Simon's legendary ‘Excalibur’ series of CD's on import? These albums featured a wide range of big name guests and were structured in a similar way to the ALAN PARSONS PROJECT releases, but with a Celtic theme running through the music.

Well, it has only taken 19 years for the rest of the world to latch on … so here they are again, not remastered as such, but with New Artwork and Packaging!
Highlights from that group of albums did appear for the first time on a UK CD in 2017 via the Alan Simon Double CD compilation: ‘Songwriter’, and now they are available in all their glory as new 2018 editions of the originals.

‘Excalibur III’ is the critically acclaimed 3rd album of the series based on the legendary Arthurian saga. This definitive album re-release is based on the legendary story of The Celts and features guest appearances from: Moya Brennan [CLANNAD], Martin Barre [JETHRO TULL], Les Holroyd [BJH], Mick Fleetwood & Jeremy Spencer [FLEETWOOD MAC], John Helliwell [SUPERTRAMP], Billy Preston, FAIRPORT CONVERNTION, Didier Lockwood, Jacqui McShee [PENTANGLE], Bruce Guthro, John Wetton [ASIA / KING CRIMSON / UK], Geoff Downes [BUGGLES / ASIA / YES] and others.
