The Shows of Ours... Live

The Shows of Ours… Live provides a rare and fascinating window into Caravan’s onstage journey. A 10 LP set of first-time to vinyl performances, it traces the band’s evolution across four decades of musical exploration, quiet majesty and cult superstardom.Housed in a beautifully designed box, the set includes a 60-page softback book containing photographs, ephemera, and first-hand reflections.Part time capsule, part revelation.Contents: LP 1 - Keele University 1976 LP 2/3 - Bobino, Paris 1980 LP 4/5 - Old Buckenham High School 1990 LP 6/7/8 - Park Hotel, Diss 1998 LP 9/10 - Stables Theatre, Wavendon 2001Among the many gems is a standout performance from Keele University, now available for fans to enjoy for the very first time. Unearthed from the personal tapes of Jan Schelhaas, Keele University 1976 captures the band in elegant transition - fluid, playful, and at ease in their own skin.There’s also the long-rumoured 1980 concert at Bobino, Paris - finally rescued from the world of unofficial bootlegs and presented here in fully remastered form. With crisp fidelity and room to breathe, it reveals a line-up locked in and stretching out, riding the sweet spot between structure and spontaneity.The journey continues into later years with a 1990 recording from Old Buckenham High School - a performance once tucked away on a boxset-only CD release, now restored and reintroduced on vinyl for the first time in all its charm.From swirling organ solos to playful lyrical turns, every track hums with the unmistakable spirit of a scene that was always more than just music - it was a movement. Whether you're a longtime devotee or a curious newcomer, this is your invitation to step into the velvet-draped, tea-scented haze of a bygone era.
