Groundwork [edit]
Caravan had released their debut album, Caravan in 1968, achieving some live success and had appeared on Great britain and High german television in early 1969. Unfortunately, their label, Verve Records shut down their British operations and dropped the ring. Guitarist Pye Hastings later recalled "that situation really left us in limbo".[1] The band regrouped and connected performing live, eventually finding a director Terry Male monarch. David Hitchcock, an employee of Decca Records' art department, saw the band perform at the London Lyceum and recommend that his dominate, Hugh Mendl sign them.[2]
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 engineering. Hastings recalled that this caused problems, every bit every member of the band wanted his musical instrument to exist louder than the others. The band recorded a few tracks, but these were abandoned while the band went out on bout, having become popular on the academy circuit in Britain and Europe.[3] They regrouped in February the following twelvemonth[4] and recorded the songs on the anthology mostly live onto 8-track tape. The highlight of the sessions was a xiv-infinitesimal jazz-rock slice assembled from diverse sections contributed by the band, called "For Richard".[5] Keyboardist David Sinclair composed the basic structure, while bassist Richard Sinclair wrote the main tune. Hastings invited his brother Jimmy to guest on saxophone and flute, which would go a regular feature of Caravan's studio piece of work.[half-dozen]
The anthology title and title track is a quote often attributed to Spike Milligan only equally possibly deriving from a bootlegged Bob Dylan vocal "All Over Yous" ("Well, if I had to do it all over over again/Infant, I'd practise information technology all over you"), later on released on The Bootleg Series, Vol 9: The Witmark Demos: 1962-1964.
The cover was shot in The netherlands Park, London and was photographed past David Jupe.[half-dozen]
