Can anyone ID this 1970s rock tune?

    Its may even be two tracks edited seamlessly together, not sure. I taped it/them off Radio Caroline back when it had a sneaky Waterford FM feed (love to know who was doing the relaying). Happy days.

    I've encoded 10 mins of audio so its a 2mb file :)

    Don't suppose you can host it somewhere else, Mike? That site demanded I opened the link in Explorer (I use Firefox) and then wanted me to install some kind of exe, which seems extremely fecking dodgy.

    Yep, the first few words of the song say who it is :p

    It's Caravan, its the first song off "For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night" called "Memory lain, Hugh / Headloss"

    DT Jesus thankyou, I've spent the last few years wondering if it was one of a clutch of UK prog/rockers which included Caravan. :) Others I considered included Camel, Wishbone Ash, Gentle Giant, Man, Ten Years After etc etc!

    Ah right, got it now.

    No, can't say I know it, but it seems D.T. Jesus got it already, so no worries. ;)

    Just a bump to say I ordered a copy of Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night off amazon and got it today, its on its second play turned up to 11! ;)

    It rocks far harder than the name Caravan suggests though as was the fashion back then the loud stuff is levened with semi-acoustic intervals. Very nice esp with the 5 extra tracks of unreleased material which contain some delightful extended instrumental workouts, its rock as it used to be.

    /off to check some more titles. :)
