Caravan- If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You (1970)

Masters of the Canterbury sound, Caravan created absolute masterpieces with their first four albums, not only of that quintessentially British style but also of progressive rock in general. Their second album is a truly rewarding musical journey, brimming with addictive atmospheres, vibrant jazz sounds, flawless vocals, and superb instrumental performance. Here, the lineup of Pye Hastings (guitars and vocals), Richard Coughlan (drums and percussion), David Sinclair (organ and keyboards), Richard Sinclair (bass and vocals), and Jimmy Hastings (saxophone and flute) wove a complex musical tapestry where precise rhythmic sections stand out, all under a distinctly avant-garde musical spirit. From the monumental and flawless jazz-rock track "Can't Be Long Now/Françoise/For Richard/Warlock", a tremendous 15-minute whirlwind of catchy choruses, exhilarating rhythms, and outstanding keyboards, to the crescendoing "And I Wish I Were Stoned-Don't Worry", and the progressive experiments of "With an Ear to the Ground You Can Make It/Martinian/Only Cox/Reprise", Caravan positioned themselves at the forefront of the Canterbury scene with this album, crafting a record that would astonish everyone and become one of the gems of rock history.
