Family - BBC Radio Volume 2 1971-73

This is the second of two volumes containing Family's previously unreleased BBC Radio 1 sessions.

Covering the period from early 1971 up to mid 1973, these recorded sessions are mastered from the original BBC transcription tapes and feature one of Britain's finest bands playing in the studio, but with an extra edge that is normally only captured at live performances.

Included here is a rare session by Family as a 4 piece, previewing songs such as 'Save Some For Thee', using a synthesizer in place of bass guitar.

This album has been compiled with the full help of the band, and the 12 page booklet features several rare photographs from their own archive, plus extensive liner notes and band history.
