Been watching yr channel for so long… and FINALLY feel the need to say hello. Hugely enjoying yr views on music. I’m an oldie who knows these tunes from the first time round, so it’s gratifying to find someone with ears and a brain and a pleasant and articulate mode of delivery. Loving your insights, and you make it feel I’m listening for the first time myself, which is wonderful! I’ve noticed your admiration for the Canterbury Scene, and wondered whether you felt curious about Canterbury Jazz Rock legends Soft Machine. Highly recommended for someone with your musical insights. They started off extremely leftfield and experimental, and mellowed and deepened as they progressed. I was a fan of their middle period. Can recommend the album ‘6’ (yes, most of the albums were unimaginatively just numbered). Would love to hear what you feel about either Softweed Factor or Chloe and the Pirates, which both changed the rules of what was possible… and bear in mind these were made in the days before samplers… you’ll see what I.mean if you go there. … or the more hardcore jazz Iines of Gesroleut. Have a nice day!
How about something just as sophisticated and original as these old songs, but more recent, like Tricot ("Pool" or "Oyasumi") or Jyocho ("A glass of night")? Or maybe some prog metal?
Richard Sinclair is amazing. Pye Hastings is still touring in Caravan. Many musicians transferred from Caravan to Camel and visa versa. At one stage they should have changed their name to Caramel!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have to understand the effect Noel Coward and Frank Zappa had on British Rock in the 60s 70s and beyond. Vaudeville or Music Hall music was all over Prog!!!!
I couldn't find this LP until I went to Piccadilly Circus some decades ago. Some reason, it never made it to the $2 bin in Muncie Indiana. Oh, and "for thrupence you can buy one" didn't know it then, but this is cockney slang for, um, boobies… That was before decimalization, though. The price of progress.
Oh, wait until you listen to Nine Feet Underground, a little slice of heaven recorded….
This is how one of the band met his girlfriend – later his wife. The band lived communaly across from the local golf course and Pat (for it was she) ran the bar at the golf course, and would take pity on them and give them cheap tea and sandwiches.
Live version on Beat Club, 1971. Enjoy !!

If I did it all again, I’d do it all over you.
Waterloo Lilly should be your next stop.
You should listen to Caravans "For Richard" – but the version with the New Symphonia. I'd like to see your reaction to this phantastic song.
Never heard this song before but I immediately recognized the vocalist as one of the guys from Camel
Great song, great album. 😎
This group obviously took the whimsical aspect of psychedelic rock into the progressive era and just ran with it. I had no idea this song was about how we met his wife, that’s all kinds of adorable.
It took me years to realise that the two choruses were in different keys! A wonderful intro to a great album. Thanks for your thoughtful and interesting review too.
You do not get more English than this ,,
Much as I love the charming, coy story that unfolds, it's the arrangement of this song that makes it for me, and declares that the rest of the album is a treat in store. Music that is skilfully played however tongue in cheek it is from time to time.
"Prog" without all vestiges of soul drained from it ala later Genesis and King Crimson, ALL Renaissance, and the longer ELP numbers. The Wilde Flowers gave birth to two bands–Caravan and The Soft Machine–who render the rest of the so-called "prog movement" either trite or embarrassing. I'll be SO happy once you're done with later Yes, as well.
Yep that sums it up for me too it just sounds great
Great band, Girls Who Grow Plump in The Night is absolutely superb album by Caravan
Great song off a great album. You can see why some people label Caravan "comfort prog".
To stop there is a travesty! So much great music still to be had. For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night is exceptional!
It's just so nice to see you totally enjoying this great track ….. from my dim distant past! Love it!
