CARAVAN Its None Of Your Business

LP 140g Black Vinyl
(Includes an exclusive postcard featuring artwork from the album designed by renowned illustrator Bob Venables.)

Caravan are one of the doyens of the progressive rock & the Canterbury scene. Formed in 1968, the band blended rock, jazz, folk & classical influences to create their warm & distinctive sound.

Their previous 14 studio albums & numerous live recordings have seen them attract a large & faithful following & the band have toured throughout Europe over the past 50 years.

Its None Of Your Business is Caravans first album since Paradise Filter (2013) & features nine new songs plus one instrumental track influenced, to a degree, by the events & restrictions placed on society over the past 18 months.

Founder member Pye Hastings (guitar/vocals) remains as Caravans guiding light & primary songwriter. Geoffrey Richardson (viola, mandolin, guitar) first played with Caravan between 1972 & 1981 & returned to the fold in 1995, Jan Schelhaas (keyboards) & Mark Walker (drums) complete the band with Lee Pomeroy (ELO, Rick Wakeman and Take That) guesting as bass player, while Jimmy Hastings also guests on flute.

The album was recorded, as restrictions allowed, in the old-fashioned way between 24th June & 4th July 2021 at Rimshot Studio, Bredgar near Sittingbourne. Sitting round in a circle having eye to eye contact, a large sound room was required, Pye Hastings explained. I much prefer this method because you can bounce ideas off each other as they occur, & voice encouragement when the whole thing begins to click. It is much more rewarding to be able to throw insults at each other in person rather than down a telephone line or via email. This is something we are all very experienced at, believe me!

Its None Of Your Business cover & artwork has been designed by renowned UK illustrator Bob Venables.
