Description

I've always had a soft spot for this album as it was the first Caravan album that I bought; back in 1977 on cassette. Since then we've seen several re-issues of the classic Decca albums but it has taken until now (2005) for this album to make it onto compact disc.This album is considered by some Caravan fans as too 'commercial' laying the blame for this on its producer, Tony Visconti. This is a little unfair. It perhaps doesn't break new ground but it still contains some great tunes, I find the title track is difficult to stop humming once you've heard it.It got somewhat lost back in the latemore… 70s, as I'm sure some other good albums did, under the tide of punk and new wave music which was sweeping the music scene, so I hope that it will now get the attention and listeners it deserves.The overall sound is not as good as the classic Decca albums, but then Decca recordings from the late 60s and early 70s tend to surpass those from other recording companies, not just those of Caravan but also Camel and the Moody Blues to name just two; but it's pretty good.So well done Eclectic for this re-release, along with the two earlier re-releases of the Kingdom albums.
