Half Moon by Richard Sinclair's Caravan of Dreams

Not the best sounding bootleg we have.

"The Half Moon has been rolling with the good times at Putney Bridge on the banks of the Thames for decades. Whether it’s the live music or a rumbling belly that brings you to our doors, we’re sure you’ll like what you find inside. From expertly poured pints & seasonal British pub food, to live entertainment and private parties, we do it all, and we do it well.

We are often touted as one of London’s most iconic music venues, having stood proud in the heart of Putney since the sixties. And it really is no wonder, with some of our greatest hits including U2’s first sellout UK concert, KD Lang’s first UK appearance, and Kate Bush’s first public show."

The taper is not identified

This is a "recording of indeterminate origin," i.e. a bootleg. If you buy it from me it'll be the first time anyone in the band has 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.
