If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You is the second album past Canterbury scene band Caravan, released in September 1970. It was the predecessor to their best-known anthology In the Land of Gray and Pink (1971). The album is representative of the Canterbury scene genre, featuring representative organ solos and melodic vocals typical of the band's manner. The album was released on Decca Records, as was the title track as a single release.

Groundwork [edit]

Caravan had released their debut album, Caravan in 1968, achieving some live success and had appeared on UK and German television in early 1969. Unfortunately, their characterization, Verve Records shut down their British operations and dropped the band. Guitarist Pye Hastings later recalled "that situation really left usa in limbo".[ane] The band regrouped and continued performing live, somewhen finding a director Terry King. David Hitchcock, an employee of Decca Records' art department, saw the band perform at the London Lyceum and recommend that his boss, Hugh Mendl sign them.[two]

Sessions for the album started at Tangerine Studios on Assurance Pond Route, Dalston, London in September 1969, with the band self-producing and Robin Sylvester applied science. Hastings recalled that this caused bug, every bit every fellow member of the band wanted his instrument to be louder than the others. The band recorded a few tracks, but these were abased while the band went out on tour, having get pop on the university circuit in Britain and Europe.[3] They regrouped in February the following year[4] and recorded the songs on the album mostly live onto eight-rail tape. The highlight of the sessions was a fourteen-infinitesimal jazz-rock slice assembled from various sections contributed past the band, chosen "For Richard".[5] Keyboardist David Sinclair composed the basic structure, while bassist Richard Sinclair wrote the main melody. Hastings invited his brother Jimmy to guest on saxophone and flute, which would become a regular characteristic of Caravan'southward studio work.[six]

The album championship and title runway is a quote often attributed to Spike Milligan merely every bit mayhap deriving from a bootlegged Bob Dylan song "All Over Yous" ("Well, if I had to do it all over once again/Babe, I'd do it all over y'all"), later released on The Bootleg Series, Vol nine: The Witmark Demos: 1962-1964.

The cover was shot in The netherlands Park, London and was photographed past David Jupe.[half dozen]
