In the Land of Grey and Pink is an album by progressive rock band Caravan, released in 1971. According to Allmusic, "it is considered by many to be the pinnacle release from Caravan." It has remained in the catalogue ever since its original release in 1971.
Along with Soft Machine, Caravan were a leading exponent of what became known as "the Canterbury sound" - a concoction of styles including jazz, classical and traditional English influences.
In the Q and Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, the album came #19 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums".
The Tolkienesque cover art was by Anne Marie Anderson.
A new edition of the album, remastered and mixed in stereo and 5.1 surround sound by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, was released on two CDs and a DVD-Video to coincide with its 40th anniversary.

Famous quotes containing the words land, grey and/or pink:
“It is cruel for you to leave your daughter, so full of hope and resolve, to suffer the humiliations of disfranchisement she already feels so keenly, and which she will find more and more galling as she grows into the stronger and grander woman she is sure to be. If it were your son who for any cause was denied his right to have his opinion counted, you would compass sea and land to lift the ban from him.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Women should not weaken their cause by impracticable demands. Make no claim which could not be won in a reasonable time. Take one step at a time, get a good foothold in it and advance carefully.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
“The word “conservative” is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.”
—Norman Tebbit (b. 1931)
