Il secondo capitolo del nostro caravanserraglio mi da l'occasione per citare la formazione della band. Quattro elementi fissi: David Sinclair (tastiere e voce), Richard Sinclair (basso e voce), Pye Hastings (chitarre e voce), Richard Coughlan (batteria), più Jimmy Hastings (flauto e sassofono).
Dopo alcuni problemi organizzativi, dovuti al cambio di casa discografica (l'americana Verve chiuse la sezione inglese e il gruppo approdò alla Decca), i Caravan tornarono in studio nel Settembre del 1969 per alcune sessioni di registrazione del loro nuovo lavoro. But the recordings were suspended after a few weeks to allow the group to comply with numerous contracts for live performances in England and the rest of Europe. On these occasions Caravan band shared the stage with some very prestigious as Pink Floyd, Yes , Nice , Colosseum, Soft Machine . Some swear they have seen their " jam-session" (as it was once) with Frank Zappa on guitar. They resumed work only in the Tangerine Studios in February of '70 to complete their second album, " If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd It All Over You," which was released in September 1970. The title plays on the double sense that it takes the expression "to do all over" in two senses mentioned in the title.
As expected, the group reached full artistic maturity, so that the disk has been called "one of the first manuals of the rock of Canterbury." Perfectly balanced between psychedelia and "progressive " how to succeed, the Caravan , to dilute the more progressive aspects of their music (the long suite, for example) with moments of real psychedelia, creating in turn a distinctive kind and very personal. Fine all the tracks of the album, with a special mention for the two suites, really exciting especially when the attacchi di David Sinclair all'organo.
La versione "uppata" è stata ristampata su CD e rimasterizzata nel 2001 con l'aggiunta di quattro brani tra inediti e versioni alternative.
