From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caravan were an English band from the Canterbury area, founded by former Wilde Flowers members David Sinclair, Richard Sinclair, Pye Hastings and Richard Coughlan. Caravan rose to success from 1968 onwards into the 1970s. They were part of the so called ‘Canterbury scene’, blending rock and jazz to create a distinctive sound in the same category  their contemporaries Soft Machine. Caravan still remains active as a live band in the 21st century.

Along with the Soft Machine, Caravan were a leading exponent of what became known as "the Canterbury sound" - a very original concoction of styles including jazz, classical and traditional English influences. "In the Land of Grey and Pink" was a harmonious blend of simple English pop and progressive rock. It is considered by many as one of the great progressive rock classics.

‘’In the Land of Grey and Pink’’ is an album released in 1971. According to Allmusic, "it is considered by many to be the pinnacle release from Caravan." One remarkable thing about this album is that it has remained in the catalogue ever since its original release in 1971.
