Fine, semi-forgotten album...
...from 1976 when Caravan had largely abandoned their Canterbury Scene progressive rock roots in favour of a much more focused, commercial sound. And it worked. Pye Hastings has always had a real melodic gift and it comes to the fore on some seriously catchy songs here. The 'Oik'/'Come On Back' sequence may be of prog length but is choc full of dynamite hooks and the man's typically saucy lyrics. Here is the sound of a great, largely unsung British rock band at its most universally appealing.
