Richard Sinclair has worked with a large number of musicians over the years. In fact, in many ways his performance resumé reads like a who's who of the less well-known but still legendary progressive rock world. He got his start playing for a group called
The Wilde Flowers in 1963. That gig lasted
Sinclair three years. His next move was on to
Caravan. He worked with them on their albums Caravan (1968), If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You (1970), In the Land of Grey and Pink (1971), and Waterloo Lily (1972).
Sinclair's next recording was with another legendary prog outfit,
Hatfield and the North, playing on their self-titled debut in 1973. The following year saw him working with
Robert Wyatt on his album, Rock Bottom, while 1975 saw the release of the next
Hatfield and the North album, Rotter's Club. In 1976,
Sinclair showed up on Kevin Ayer's Odd Ditties album. The next year
Sinclair began a stint with another legendary prog outfit,
Camel. He worked on their albums Raindances (1977), Breathless (1978), and A Live Record (1978).
Hatfield and the North's Afters, featuring
Sinclair, was released in 1980. The following year showed him working in a group called Gowen, Miller, Sinclair, Tomkins. They released Before a Word Is Said in 1981. In 1982, another
Camel album with
Sinclair came out. This one was entitled Back to Front. The same year also saw the release of
National Health's D.S. Al Coda, with
Sinclair present on that one as well. His next recorded showing did not come until 1988 with Phil Miller's in Cahoots, on their album Split Seconds. In 1991, the same group released In Cahoots Live, with
Sinclair again in the group. By the following year,
Sinclair had formed
Richard Sinclair's Caravan of Dreams, releasing Caravan of Dreams. In 1993, that group put out An Evening of Magic. 1994 saw the release of
Sinclair's first solo album, R.S.V.P. ~ Gary Hill, All Music Guide
