40th Anniversary of 'In the Land of Grey and Pink'
A recent email from the Caravan Information Service alerted me to the imminent (30th May) release of a 40th Anniversary deluxe edition of 'In the Land of Grey and Pink'. Given all the extra tracks that were added to the remastered versions of the albums Caravan recorded for the DERAM (Decca) label, not to mention the extras surfaced on the 4CD Decca anthology ('The World is Yours') released last year, I did wonder what they could find to fill the 3 disc release. Well, there's not a huge amount of new material, however probably enough nuggets for the fan of the band or album. Disc one contains a new remastering of the original album, plus an unreleased mix and two unreleased versions of tracks from the album. Disc two includes some more unreleased versions and mixes, of which the version of 'Nigel Blows A Tune' is potentially the most interesting. The rest of this disc includes tracks recorded live for the BBC, which I believe are available elsewhe
