Extra Info: Fantastic Album !! Original German 1st press LP on Verve with PILLAR COVER ..... soooo incredible rare !!

~~ Upon its release Caravan's debut album, was favorably received by the critics and the debut single, Place of My Own was described as having a 'gripping compulsion' with 'scintillating organ work'. John Peel played the album regularly on his radio show 'Top Gear'.

A definite product of the times. Caravan's first album is pysch all the way, but their whimsical Canterbury sound is just under the surface. The first song, 'Place of My Own' is very catchy. The following songs are very Pink Floydish, ala Syd Barret, especially 'Cecil Rons' an absolute crazy psych song. 'Love Song With Flute' has Pye Hastings brother Jimmy playing the flute, it's one of the most beautiful flute solos heard at the time and to think it was done on the spot without practice!  David Sinclair's keyboards are featured in various styles, be it sinister sounding, 'Cecil Rons', or whimsical, 'Policeman' or downright ornery, the album closer and epic 'Where But For Caravan Would I?' you hear the seeds planted for the groundbreaking and classic Canterbury albums to follow. This is psych/prog and for those looking for that classic Caravan sound you may be in for a surprise -- and if you are adventurous, you'll want to hear how Caravan sounded at the beginning.
