In
the Land of Grey and Pink is the third album by English progressive
rock band Caravan, released in April 1971 on Deram Records. It was
produced by David Hitchcock and was the last album to feature the
original lineup of Richard Coughlan, Pye Hastings, Richard Sinclair and
Dave Sinclair until 1982's Back to Front.
The album was written and
recorded during late 1970 and early 1971, and featured more material
from Richard Sinclair. Hastings, who had been the main songwriter on the
previous two releases, contributed only one track. Instrumentally, the
music is dominated by David Sinclair's keyboard solos, and side two is
taken up by a 22-minute suite of songs, "Nine Feet Underground". The
cover features a Tolkien-influenced painting.
The album was
critically well received but was not a chart success, which led to
frustration within the band and David Sinclair's departure.
Nevertheless, it has remained in print and sold steadily, and been
recommended by critics as a good introduction to the Canterbury Scene
genre. The band look back favourably on the album and several of its
tracks have remained fixtures in Caravan's live repertoire.
