The Alchemist is an album by British rock band Home, released in 1973 on the CBS Records label. It was the last album released by the group before they went their separate ways in 1974. Cliff Williams went on to join Bandit from 1975 to 1977 before he replaced Mark Evans in Australian hard rock band AC/DC. Guitarist Laurie Wisefield went on to achieve success with the British band Wishbone Ash. The record also featured Jimmy Anderson on keyboards. Though the album was loved by the critics, it did not sell well commercially.
