The Show of Our Lives: Classics from Caravan Collected on "The Decca/Deram Years"

September 5, 2019 By Sam Stone 2 Comments

PRE-ORDER FROM AMAZON.COM

Among the most beloved purveyors of the "Canterbury Sound" - that particular strand of psychedelic British rock - is the boundary-pushing ensemble, Caravan. The band was formed in Canterbury in 1968 (from the remnants of the soul group The Wilde Flowers) and at various times included Pye Hastings on guitar and vocals, Richard Sinclair on bass guitar and vocals, Dave Sinclair on keyboards, and Richard Coughlan on drums. By the following year, the band had secured a contract with Decca and were recording their first long-player for the imprint, If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All For You.

If I Could... makes up the first disc of UMC's monumental new box set that celebrate the Canterbury heroes: The Decca/Deram Years (An Anthology) 1970-1975. Due out tomorrow, September 6, the 9-CD set presents their complete studio work on the Decca and Deram labels. These include their aforementioned label debut, plus In the Land of Grey and Pink (1971), Waterloo Lily (1972), For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night (1973), the live effort Caravan & The New Symphonia (1974), and Cunning Stunts (1975). Each studio album is supplemented with bonus tracks, including rare demos, outtakes, instrumental versions, early versions, alternate mixes, and more.

In addition to the studio material, The Decca/Deram Years also features two live sets: Live at the Fairfield Halls, 1974 and a two-disc compendium of radio recordings entitled The Show of Our Lives: Live at the BBC, 1970-1975.

Altogether, The Decca/Deram Years (An Anthology) 1970-1975 promises to be a comprehensive collection that collates an era, complete with deluxe packaging. Each album is presented in a gatefold digipak featuring original album art. These sleeves are enclosed in a luxurious slipcase that's accompanied by a 44-page essay that details the life and art of the definitive Canterbury Sound group.

So take a trip back in time with Caravan and UMC... The Decca/Deram Years (An Anthology) 1970-1975 is due this Friday, September 6 and you can place your orders with the links below!

    It’s a shame that they haven’t licensed / included their eponymous debut album which was originally released on Verve. The last edition contained both mono and stereo mixes. It is I believe still available for completists.

      Must be an artist decision. Verve, DERAM & British Decca are all owned by Universal Music.
