3 stars BBC tapes published in a uncharacteristicly medium sound quality as opposed to other release from the BBC. Apparently some of the original tapes were stolen or lost and they had to use transcripts. Great For Richard.

3 stars Maybe it's a non-essential item for those who have yet their masterpieces, but this could be a good place to start if you're not familiar with caravan. "In the land of grey and pink" remains a breathtaking track, along with "Hello hello". Recommended.

3 stars A very good introduction to this great band.

Are you curious about this band, but don't know where to start ? This compilation album is a good start point if you can find it. It contains some of their best music. Most of their essential stuff, no less. It reminded me why I love this band. Their mix of swinging jazz and naive pop/rock. Their good melodies. Their great musicianship.

There are some great songs omitted from this album though. Golf Girl springs to mind. And the sound quality is pretty average to bad. So minus some stars for that. But if this album can be purchased cheap from somewhere, this is a good introduction to this excellent band.

3 stars
