It’s a long time since I first bought In the Land of Grey and Pink by Caravan. I think it was probably the early 90s. Around this time I was mainly listening to Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator and Yes. I was a little out of synch with people at school/college who were mainly into The Smiths, James and Ned’s Atomic Dustbin. I branched out a bit when I started frequenting The Wheatsheaf in Stoke-on-Trent and people like Daevid Allen and Gong started turning up on a regular basis. I listened to In the Land of Grey and Pink a few times and the only track that grabbed me was Golf Girl.

Caravan somehow stayed just beyond my reach during the nineties. I remember staying in a bed and breakfast in Canterbury on a family holiday once. I picked up a flyer for Caravan/Caravan of Dreams in a local record shop and the address for the band was in the same street as the B & B. I walked over to the address where I found a decaying tour bus parked in the drive. At the time, my friend Jon Goodwin and I were producing a prog fanzine called A Flower? I thought about knocking on, but thought better of it as I didn’t know very much about the band and I didn’t want to get them out of bed unnecessarily.

Many years later I repurchased In the Land of Grey and Pink and wondered how the rest of the album could have eluded me. I guess I just wasn’t ready for it at the time.

More recently, I’ve been discovering early Caravan. My girlfriend, bought me a copy of English Weather, a brilliant compilation of early 70s prog and psychedelia put together by Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs which features Love Song With Flute from their eponymous debut album.

about

Richard Sinclair Martina Franca, Italy

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar. ... more

Holdsworth is up there with McLauglin in the jazzrock-fusion pantheon. And like McLaughlin he seems to have had an open mind for eastern spiritual music. This is quite beautiful. Check it out. Robert Bloemkolk
