Integral to the Canterbury psychedelic scene that also spawned Soft Machine, Caravan's 1970 record for Decca, their 2nd as a band and for the label, epitomized the style with spooked organ solos, frayed, psychedelic vocals, and obtuse songwriting.
The album saw the band advance their sound, moving easily between acoustic folk and electric progressive rock on both complicated, psychedelic medleys and accessible ‘pop’ songs such as the title track "Caravan" which gained significant radio airplay and resulted in a guest appearance on BBC TV’s Top of the Pops.
