For many aficionados of the creative rock music that surfaced in the heady days of the late 60's / early 70's, the bands who surfaced from the English provincial city of Canterbury produced some of the most consistently interesting music of that period. Of all the groups to emerge from the so-called "Canterbury Scene" (the existence of which many of its main protagonists deny), none were quite so original and so enduring as Caravan.
For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night was originally released by Deram Records in 1973 in Europe and on London in North America. No singles were taken from the album, although Memory Lain, Hugh/Headloss was remixed for release as a single in the USA to promote Caravan's first US tour. The album's closing track A Hunting We Shall Go demonstrates just how tight and inspired a musical unit Caravan were. It provides a stunning climax to what many consider to be one of Caravan's finest albums and is particularly well remembered by prog lovers in North America. This new Eclectic definitive version is remastered and comes housed in digipak format.
