Le Triton by Hatfield and The North
Thanks to the herculean efforts of Nicolas Sinclair (Dave's son), who is hard at work rescuing soundboard masters from the Perugian swamp, we now have for the first time anywhere both Le Triton sets, all 2 hours 35 minutes in glorious stereophonic sound. Enjoy!
This was just the second concert after Pip's back surgery in April, so Mark Fletcher again assists Pip on drums making Hatfield－however briefly－a quintet, firing masterfully on all five cylinders.

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, and an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar are his gifts.
