record their first album (Caravan) in October 1968 in London, is also the first record of a British group for the American label of Frank Zappa, The Verve.
The songs are light melodies with many influences late-beat and other (Brian Auger, Moody Blues, Syd Barrett). The voice of Richard Sinclair, peraltro, è molto simile a quella di Robert Wyatt, ma ci sono anche intuizioni musicali genuine e già distintive. Il tutto da l'impressione di una piena maturità non ancora raggiunta, ma le premesse sono buone e le promesse verranno mantenute.
L'incisione originale del 1968, abbastanza rara, è stata rieditata e rimasterizzata in digitale dalla Decca nel 2002, nelle due versioni, mono e stereo e l'aggiunta di un brano che verrà poi riproposto nel disco successivo, in una versione differente.
