Family - Anyway - Remastered & Expanded 2CD

Family - Anyway - Remastered & Expanded 2CD

EXPANDED 2CD EDITION OF THE CLASSIC 1970 ALBUM BY THE LEGENDARY FAMILY.
NEWLY REMASTERED FROM THE MASTER TAPES.
FEATURING AN ADDITIONAL 16 BONUS TRACKS DRAWN FROM SINGLES AND BBC RADIO SESSIONS.
INCLUDES AN ILLUSTRATED BOOKLET WITH A NEW ESSAY.

Featuring vocalist Roger Chapman, guitarist John ‘Charlie’ Whitney, drummer Rob
Townsend, bassist and violinist John Weider and multi-instrumentalist John ‘Poli’ Palmer
on vibes, keyboards and flute, ‘Anyway’ comprised a side of live recordings made at The
Fairfield Hall in Croydon in July 1970 and a side of studio tracks recorded at Olympic
Studios in the late summer. Family were always a fine live act, and the performances of
songs such as ‘Good News Bad News’, ‘Holding the Compass’ and ‘Strange Band’ showed the band at the peak of their powers on stage. The album’s studio tracks were equally fine, with ‘Part of the Load’, ‘Anyway’ and ‘Lives and Ladies’ being fine examples of the diversity of the band’s music.
