Title: Pop whimsey by Limeys at its finest
Review: This remains a funny wee album. Naff lyrics (think Tolkein on acid written on a blotter at Eton) but they kind of work because the music is such good quality pop. What I mean is I can have it on in the background and there is enough going on to make it interesting. Good musicians and an eclectic mix of styles make it a bit of a bubbling brook. It ends with some very dark, rock like boogie (last part of "Nine Feet Underground"). Can't say anything else of Caravan did the business for me, but this warm bath of an album can stay in the collection and occupy its niche with some pride. If you are a fan of late sixties-early seventies pop that is not bubblegum (although "Golf Girl" gets close), then give this a listen.
