History

MID-PRICE 2CD 30-TRACK SPECIAL SET HIGHLIGHTING THE VERY BEST OF FAMILY'S INCREDIBLE MUSICAL JOURNEY. INCLUDES 'BURLESQUE', 'STRANGE BAND' & 'MY FRIEND THE SUN'. ALL TRACKS REMASTERED FROM ORIGINAL TAPES. Growing out of the R&B boom of the early 60s, Family's sound evolved into a unique mix of blues, folk, jazz, psychedelia and high energy rock'n'roll built around the distinctive vocals of frontman Roger Chapman, Charlie Whitney's innovative guitar playing and Rob Townsend's thunderous drumming. The band released eight albums during their seven-year career, scoring 4 top singles and seven chart albums in the process. These recordings have been remastered as part of the process of compiling the acclaimed and now sold-out box set, ?Once Upon A Time?. History collects tracks from throughout the band's career to offer a perfect introduction to this fascinating group. This mid-price jewel-case 2CD edition features an 8-page booklet.
