Caravan – Caravan

i own the french press ref 2315 189 , but on middle sticker of the LP it miss the stamp of the SACEM and it's notified Fr. Melodie without date of edition.
Does anybody kwow if it's original press or a copy ? (sticker in the middle is blue and brown as MGM record and not dark like on the picture)

Landmark album here Place of My Own, Cecil Rons and Magic Man are absolutely mesmerizing and STUNNING

I have this record (verve, vlp6011) with the incorrect cover. The vinyl is in v.good condition but has 'brendan' written on teh label. Does anybody know what it is worth without the correct sleeve?
I know this issue is very rare

For me, I really believe Caravan pulled it off right from the start with this great album. Yeah, I know, their next two albums might be better, If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You and In the Land & Grey & Pink, but I found their debut quite enjoyable too. They were recording for Verve Forecast, but they didn't stay on the label for long, as apparently MGM got bought up in the States by Mike Curb who attempted to sanitize the label as much as Pat Boone tried to sanitize 1950s rock and roll (probably a good reason Frank Zappa left Verve by this time, and also the Velvet Underground - actually Zappa already left after his contract with MGM/Verve expired before Curb got his hands on the label). I understand Caravan tried for Island Records, but Chris Blackwell didn't like the vocals. On this debut, much of the vocals were from Pye Hastings, as Richard Sinclair only sung one entire song, and part of another. It sounds like unmistakable Caravan, songs like "A Place of My Own" and "Ride" proves that, with nice organ playing from David Sinclair. David Sinclair had yet to use that fuzz-organ, so you won't find that here, though. "Love Song With Flute" is a laid-back piece, with a flute solo from Pye Hastings' older brother Jimmy Hastings (who was no stranger in the Canterbury scene, as he appeared on many other Caravan albums, plus on Soft Machine's Third, and tons more). "Mr. Policeman" is the song with Richard Sinclair on vocals, and I understand he and Pye Hastings do a switch where Richard plays guitar and Pye on the bass. "Cecil Rons" is another great piece, while "Where But For Caravan Would I" is more into prog territory, with extended organ solos and changing ages and time signatures. Pye Hastings does the majority of singing on this piece, but Richard Sinclair also does some singing. While the sound quality isn't the best, I still think this album is great, and if you enjoyed their next two albums, you should get this one too.
