Now Spinning Magazine with Phil Aston

Күн бұрын

A short while ago we featured the huge Caravan Box Set produced by Madfish Records. I wanted to offer an alternative for fans of this quintessential English PROG band who may want to buy their music but feel they cannot justify the outlay for the Madfish box.
In this video I cover
In the Land of Grey and Pink (40th Anniversary Edition) 2011
2CD / DVD - Steven Wilson 5.1 Mix
The World Is Yours - The Anthology 1968 - 1976
4CD Box Set (2010)
The Decca / Deram Years (An Anthology) 1970 - 1975
9CD Box Set (2019)

Hello. I have The Decca albums box set only. For me it has the classic albums except the first, which is a great album and one of their best. Caravan is one of the essential and representative Canterbury bands. A huge family tree. Great musicians all over. "In the land of grey and pink" album has been in my mind and heart since the first time when I heard it, has that infinite trascendental inspired playing, one for the ages. And the magic already shows always when you play it. Even better than a masterpiece. Almost obligatory purchase for UK rock and prog rock fans. 70s music lover's heaven. Thanks for showing.

Hi Ricardo, thank you for watching. I could not agree more. In the Land of Grey and Pink has a sound unique to itself. A true PROG classic that everyone should own. Phil :)

One of the first songs that we played on acoustic (around the campfire) was Land Of.....This is a brilliant review.

Like Caravan a lot. I was introduced to them via The Best prog album in the world ever CD set. Been hooked since. The aforementioned compilation introduced a load of artists and I've bought loads of stuff because of it. Cheers Phil great video.

Hi Stephen, thank you for watching. That was an interesting and unexpected compilation at the time. It is amazing how the term PROG is now so cool! Phil

I have the Deram/Decca box set. I wish that similar sets were released from Camel and the Moody Blues.

Totally agree, I have the 4CD Camel set. I can imagine Madfish creating a career defining box set for Camel. Phil

Alas, the first album was not included. Maybe, for some legal reason towards the record company (it reads "The Decca Deram Years"). But a wonderful edition, though.

Hi Phil, I have all of these sets shown, and also the Mega-box shown earlier. Seen Caravan live a couple of times, in London and in Sweden as well. As you say, a very BRITISH band.

Fortunately I had the chance to buy the "mega boxset" from Madfish (I've also bought the Gentle Giant one), but I do know not everyone can afford it. I's beautiful, by the way. I have some older japanese Caravan SHM-Platinum editions :) Keep on the good work.

I have In The Land Of Grey and Pink with extras, Girls That Grow Plump In The Night with extras and the two disc Anthology from the early noughties. I am quite happy with that as I prefer the more heavy side of the band. I wonder if Kenny Everett was inspired by Caravan to come up with the character Cupid Stunt.

Phil do you have any of the Uriah Heep box sets that would be a cool video

@NowSpinningMagazine 2 жыл бұрын

I was going to get the 50 years box set as I was hoping it would be like the Nazareth set which was also from BMG but the Heep set was very disappointing for me. If you are new to Uriah Heep and you see it for £100 then perhaps it is ok but for long term fans I would avoid it. A huge amount on unreleased material was prepared and then rejected at the last moment. None of the albums included had extra tracks. Some albums were doubled up onto one CD with horrible merged artwork. Then there were the band selected CDs which doubled up on tracks already included. I feel this was a lost opportunity for a band of Uriah Heeps status.

@@NowSpinningMagazine same here Phil being a huge Heep fan the later box sets are questionable.A Time Of Revelation came out in 1996 and Chapter and Verse came out in 2000s some time.I've been into Heep since '71 one of my favorites of all time
