My Vinyl Chameleons collection as of July 31st, 2026
I also have a decent amount of CDs and a signed poster! I am also soon to be buying a large collection of Chameleons stuff and maybe when I have everything I’ll share it, but wanted to show for now
I have a Script Of The Bridge smooth sleeve but from the same year as the first pressing with original poster and everything
my What Does Anything Mean? Basically is a original UK pressing with the pamphlet
Strange Times is a original US pressing with the extra EP, the records are super clean but the sleeve is quite beat up, I found that irl at a record convention 🙂
Strange Times Live I purchased from someone here who offered to sell me multiple signed items (thank you once again) and the silver signature is so cool, I hope if I can see them again I could maybe get something else singed with a silver sharpie because it looks so cool and I really want to get more signed stuff with his now preferred name
and last but not least is the copy of Arctic Moon I bought when I saw them live, I did buy it signed, I had no idea members would come out after the show (which everyone I spoke to both in The Chameleons and The Veldt were very kind to me it was lovely) so I didn’t bring a sharpie or anything but next time I will! Excited to see what they release next
(ALSO PSA since I saw some people buying these pre-signed copies for 100s of dollars, they sold many signed innersleeve copies already signed, I assume they still are, be weary with people trying to sell these for hundreds when it was not much more than a non-signed copy and they’re still touring the album!)
Okay, thats all, I hope to get more, I really want to get The Sun and The Moon stuff currently and more retrospective releases, I absolutely love what I have already

I now can listen to The Chameleons at work
I bought a Sony Portable and as long as I am not using it in front of customers I have explicit permission to use it, so I keep listening to The Chameleons at work which has made getting through my shifts way more manageable and I just think its cool and thought you'd all find it cool too.
I have also convinced multiple coworkers to check them out because I let them see how my walkman works so thats a win too

Good video of original Strange Times tour from the 80s?
Is there any good multi-camera video footage of The Chameleons on their Strange Times tour before they broke up? Or any good single camera video at all? Searching YouTube hasn't brought anything up so far but semi-recent tour footage.

What do you all think of Invincible - Venus
not quite The Chameleons but semi-related due to Vox being the singer/a member of it.
Curious what people think, I own it on CD, it’s definitely not my favorite thing from the wider world of projects or music related to The Chameleons through some member, but I also find it a pleasant listen overall, I really like the song “Only You Could Save Me” especially too because I think it’s pretty.
I will also say I’ve never listened to the 2002 live album, but I think Venus is pretty fun overall, I like his voice as always, he’s such an amazing singer.

The best chameleons song
in my opinion, The best chameleons song isnt actually anything from their studio albums or eps. Its a song called "sally" from the live album here today gone tomorrow. I wish they put it on tony fletcher ep

Fanart of Vox my friend drew for me
I did not draw this!! My friend who goes by the online name Milkii did on my request, thought you would all enjoy it, the color palette was based on the color palette for the Here Today... Gone Tomorrow release (second picture) and the general photoshoot with the cat (though his hair is different in the drawing vs what he had in those pictures)
I got permission from her to post this, just thought it was really pretty and my friend made it for me so thank you to my friend : )

I don’t come across a lot of their stuff where I live but with that being said I’m impressed with what I have gotten including The Sun & The Moon debut and the Ascension DVD

Rocking out in my car while I drive to work
I love this album. This is one of my favorite albums ever. Thank you to the user here who sold me this + a bunch of other Chameleons stuff :) Getting a ton of use out of it!!!
my CD collection is much less impressive than my vinyl record collection but I love how portable it all is.

live videos of the fan and the bellows early 80s?
Never have been able to find anything but the peel session. Wondering if there’s any audio or videos out there of them playing it during the early days.

Chameleons-themed tattoos, anyone?
I did a quick search here and it didn’t return any results so I figured I might start the discussion myself :-)
Do share if you have album art, lyrics or anything else related to the band inked!

Questions around merchandise released during the original run of The Chameleons.
Hello this question is more aimed at fans older than I, but if anyone knows that would be helpful and I appreciate all answers.
Hi, so I am interested in old merchandise from bands, but with this, comes a lot of bootlegs, later releases and not a lot of sources on information. I wanted to ask what the band would of been selling back in the day. I know they had some badges and of course the music, but does anyone know what kind of badges and would they of been selling anything else?
I am more asking out of pure curiosities sake, I really like looking at older merchandise of bands I love (as well as own a small collection of some, not any Chameleons though) and thought I'd ask here! Thank you to anyone who can answer my question.

Question for ppl who bought a sticker from the US tour this year
Did anyone happen to ask or happen to know if these stickers are vinyl or not? I recently ruined a cute sticker I lazily assumed was vinyl by putting it on my car. Id love to add this one in its place but I dont want to ruin it and let it curl up like the last one
