CARAVANRICHARD COUGHLAN, PYE HASTINGS, DAVID SINCLAIR, RICHARD SINCLAIR
Musically inventive progressive rock band that came out of the Canterbury scene
with a gift for melody as well as imaginative improvisation,
Caravan were one of the more formidable progressive rock acts to come out of England in the 1960s,
though they were never much more than a very successful cult band at home,
and, apart from a brief moment in 1975, barely a cult band anywhere else in the world

Recorded at Advision Studios, London, October 1968

For their first album, Caravan was surprisingly strong.
While steeped in the same British psychedelia that informed bands such as Love Children,
Pink Floyd, and Tomorrow, Caravan relates a freedom of spirit and mischief
along the lines of Giles, Giles & Fripp or Gong. The band's roots can be traced to a
British blue-eyed soul combo called the Wilde Flowers. Among the luminaries to have passed
through this Caravan precursor were Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, and Hugh Hopper
and Brian Hopper (pre-Soft Machine, naturally). By the spring of 1968, Caravan had settled
nicely into a quartet consisting of Pye Hastings (guitar/bass/vocals),
Richard Coughlan (drums), David Sinclair (organ/vocals), and Richard Sinclair (bass/guitar/vocals).
Inspired by the notoriety and acclaim that Soft Machine encountered
during the burgeoning days of London's underground scene,
Caravan began a residency at the Middle Earth club...(AllMusic)
