Caravan Cunning Stunts [180 Gram] (UK)

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. For those who still believe prog is a four-letter word Caravan remain a mystery - More fool them for they are missing out on some of the sweetest and most tuneful melodies in 70s rock whether it be the jazz- inflected vaudeville of the title track of If I Could Do It All Over Again I d Do It All Over You the gentle celebration of Virgin On The Ridiculous from Caravan & The New Symphonia or the funky ambition of The Dabsong Conshirtoe on Cunning Stunts. Formed like Soft Machine from the group The Wilde Flowers Caravan have much in common with UK 70s prog punning titles gatefold sleeves many songs well over 10 minutes long frequent line- up shifts but they always had an innate accessibility - partly due to guitarist and lead vocalist Julian Pye Hastings easy- on-the-ear singing style.
