Caravan - 'In The Land Of Grey And Pink' (1971) (Deluxe Edition) (2cd+dvd) (2011 Steven Wilson remaster)

This third #Caravan album is my favourite. Marvellous melodies, pristine prog, long instrumental stuff. 'Winter Wine'! 'Nine Feet Underground'! Legendary. #Caravanthon

Caravan - 'Waterloo Lily' (1972) (2001 remaster)

Fourth #Caravan album is a bit more jazzy. There's good songs and lots of instrumental stuff. The title track 'Waterloo Lily' is just fantastic. A strong album. #Caravanthon

Caravan - 'Cunning Stunts' (1975) (2001 remaster)

Great stuff on this seventh #Caravan album, their last 'classic' album from the 70s. Highlights for me are the catchy 'Stuck In A Hole' and the keyboard dominated and heavily orchestrated 'The Dabsong Conshirtoe'! #Caravanthon

Caravan - 'Live At Fairfield Halls, 1974 ' (2002)

These #Caravan live recordings were originally partly released in 1982, but now we have the full September 1st 1974 concert that has all the great 1974 live material. 'Memory Lane, Hugh / Headloss'. 'For Richard'! #Caravanthon

Caravan - 'Caravan & The New Symphonia' (1974) (2001 remaster)

Sixth #Caravan album contains a concert together with #TheNewSymphonia orchestra, featuring group songs arranged and orchestrated by #MartynFord and the great late #SimonJeffes. Marvellous concert. #Caravanthon

Caravan - 'If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You' (1970) (2001 remaster)

On this second album #Caravan has found its definite sound: heavy keyboard-driven, mostly instrumental jazzy Canterbury prog. Absolute highlight: the lengthy 'For Richard'! #Caravanthon

Caravan - 'Caravan' (1969) (2002 remaster)

The amazing #Caravan debut album. A fine mixture of psychedelic progpop in Canterbury style. Great tunes (like Place Of My Own) and oh that gorgeous organ sound. Now where but for Caravan would I? #Caravanthon

Caravan - 'For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night' (1973) (2001 remaster)

Fifth #Caravan album marks another line-up change (with added violin) and goes back to a more progressive style. Very strong material like opener 'Memory Lain, Hugh / Headloss'. #Caravanthon

Caravan - 'Travelling Ways' (2cd) (2001)

#Caravan collection album with new songs from the 90's, some classics re-recorded in 1996 and mid-90's live recordings with the classic Hastings-Sinclair-Sinclair-Coughlan line-up. Nice, but I prefer the original 70's stuff. #Caravanthon

#NP: #NowPlaying:

Richard Sinclair's Caravan Of Dream - 'An Evening Of Magic' (2cd) (1993)

#RichardSinclair & #DavidSinclair (+ #AndyWard & #RickBiddulph) played this #Caravan spin-off concert, recorded in Genova on 26 March 1993. Nice setlist with #MatchingMole and #Caravan material. #Caravanthon

Caravan - 'Rare Broadcasts' (cd+dvd) (2005)

Unofficial #Caravan release. This little box contains 'A Night's Tale, Live In The USA'(cd) and 'Classic Rock Legends' (aka 'Live in Nottingham') (dvd). No info in the booklet. Cd sound is OK-ish. Did I ever watch that dvd? #Caravanthon
