Richard mentions earthquakes. The magnitude 6.7 Northridge earthquake had occurred just four months earlier and centered 15 miles away.

Thanks to James Ellis for the tapes!
This is a "recording of indeterminate origin," i.e. a bootleg. If you buy it from me it'll be the first time I've seen a quid from it.

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar.
