"The definitive box set”

FAMILY were and still are one of the most revered bands to come out of the late Sixties early Seventies. Fronted by the manic but prolific vocalist ROGER CHAPMAN, Family were one of the most popular bands on the UK and European gig and festival circuit where their particular brand of “progressive art rock”, backed by Chapman’s on stage antics and a brilliant band excited audiences everywhere.

The band became a brilliant vehicle for the song writing partnership of Roger Chapman and CHARLIE WHITNEY who were joined along the way by a number of top musicians including JOHN WETTON and later TONY ASHTON.

The popularity of Family was reflected by top thirty singles including a number 4 with “In My Own Time” and 7 top thirty albums, with “A Song For Me” reaching number 4, “Entertainment” number 6 and “Anyway” number 7.

This four CD box set features the following:

1. 49 tracks including 14 previously unreleased performances

2. The first release on CD of the album “Old Songs New Songs”.

3. Booklet written by Pete Feenstra on the history of Family, featuring quotes from band members and previously unseen photo’s.

4. A reproduction of the 1970 Isle Of Wight Festival programme

The first 1000 copies will receive a free bonus CD featuring eleven historically significant demo’s and live performances
