About

"For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night" is the fifth studio album released by Canterbury scene band Caravan, released in 1973. Richard Sinclair and Steve Miller left the band prior to the recording of the album. They were replaced by John G. Perry (who went on to play in Quantum Jump and produced a solo album called Sunset Wading) and the returning Dave Sinclair. Viola player Geoff Richardson was added to the band. This is, for many, the classic Caravan line up, with the recording supported by quite an array of well-known musicians of the era including Paul Buckmaster on cello (who played with Kevin Ayers), Rupert Hine, Henry Lowther, etc.
