キャラバン Caravanコミュの新譜情報　"Show Of Our Lives: Caravan At The Bbc 1968-1975"

久方ぶりに、キャラバンの二枚組ＢＢＣライヴが発売されましたよ。このタイトル、以前 Mooncrest から出ていた１枚もののアルバムと同じで？ですね。でもって、収録曲が初出かどうかなんてちーともわかりませんが、とにかく、リマスターされたサウンドと詳細なライナーだけでも◎。なんといっても、デイヴさんのオルガンが大活躍。あと、'Feelin' Reelin' Sqealin''はソフト・マシーン（というかケヴィン・エアーズ）の初期作で、Wilde Flowers を思い出しました。ファンなら、このＣＤは「買い」でしょう。（ちなみに、イギリスで今日１３日の発売のはずなのに、偶々、帰宅途中に立ち寄ったタワーレコードで発見！、思わず購入しちゃいました。が、しっかし、さっき、ＨＭＶ通販サイトで確認すると、複数購入割引なら千円以上安くかつダブルポイントの予約特典付。あ〜〜）

'This double CD is anthology of Caravan's best recorded work for the BBC between 1968 and 1975. Featuring recently discovered Stereo versions of "Nine Feet Underground" and "Feelin' Reelin' Squealin' " recorded for John Peel and the band's previously unissued 1973 "In Concert" broadcast.' (from AMAZON UK's ad)

'Universal are releasing, via the Decca label, a live album of recordings from the archives of the BBC. The album features recordings from the BBC, covering the period 1968- 1975. In view of the fact that almost all the material is already available on 'Ether Way', 'Songs for Oblivion Fisherman', 'Green Bottles for Marjorie' and BBC 'In Concert' Albums, this may be for completists only. These albums also feature tracks not included on Show of Our Lives. Even the inclusion of the Paris Theatre Concert (not on the above CDs) is something of a disappointment as only 3 tracks appear. The full concert was actually broadcast on BBC 6 music earlier this year. Confusingly an obscure album with the same title, with rather poor quality live recordings from unknown sources appeared on Mooncrest in 1998.'(from CARAVAN's Official HP)
