Best of the year..well the caravan is deep in love with the new Magnetic North record and remembers that back at the beginning of 11 the Low album was a mighty return to form but is there a better record than the Richmond Fontaine headspinner?

Dear Caravan Family
Just a word that if you are considering purchasing anything from Rhino in any of their guises then please think twice. This company take your money sit on it for months and then say it’s not available.
I could go on but in these turbulent times no one needs such heavy handed corporation money grabbing mendacity.
Yours
Fielding Mellish

New Ass 'Salt Marsh' LP has landed. It's truly beautiful stuff. the quality of music is matched by Ben Javens sleeve and the white vinyl. 500 copies only. Initial copies came and went so I'd recommend Norman, Piccadilly, RT and ordering a copy. If you heard Andreas' last record you will know what to expect but this builds and moves forward from that record.
Also just landed - some copies of the Erland & The Carnival tour single. Its a one sided 'carnivilisation'. £2-50 nails this one and I'd get one now as these will be impossible to source later. Paypal is g.dolman@bham.ac.uk
Just a quick thanks as well to all you followers of the Van as these are tough times and without your loving support we would be nothing.
