LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The first studio album in seven years by the iconic Canterbury band. Featuring the legendary Jimmy Hastings on saxophone and flute, with guest appearances by Dave Sinclair and Simon 'Bongo' Bentall. With the majority of songs written by Pye Hastings and tracks written by Geoffrey Richardson, Dave Sinclair and Doug Boyle. This new studio album retains the traditional Caravan feel, whilst also being contemporary thanks to the superb production by Pye Hastings son, Julian, another long-term Caravan stalwart. "In the Land of Grey and Pink" still remains the (Caravan) album that will never be replaced in the minds of fans, and rightly so because it is a classic album of quirkiness and invention...but if you want to hear that same style but with the added bonus of some great lead guitar solos, then this is the Caravan for you. Strong songs and musicianship. Pye Hastings still rules in his field." - PROGRESSIVE EARS "An excellent album from a much-loved group that deserve much greater reward for their steadfast and reliable contributions to the field of bloody good music. Caravan really are a band for everyone" - DUTCH PROGRESSIVE ROCK "These seasoned musicians do not disappoint and in conjunction with the quality of the new material, Caravan, I'm delighted to say, are back on form". - THE HAIRLESS HEART HERALD Track listing: Smoking Gun (Right for Me), Revenge, The Unauthorised Breakfast Item, Tell Me Why, It's Getting a Whole Lot Better, Head Above the Clouds, Straight Through the Heart, Wild West Street, Nowhere to Hide, Linders Field.
