"British rock band Family`s recordings for the BBC are brought together for a special eight-disc deluxe set to mark 50 years since the band's first album.Family released seven studio albums between 1968 and 1973 and had a sound that 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 intelligent drumming ... These sessions feature across seven CDs of audio and this new deluxe set - packaged in a 48-page hardcover book - is the most comprehensive collection of these BBC sessions ... All the audio has been newly remastered for this release ... The book features John Peel interviews, new sleeve notes, and rare photos ... The hardcover book slots neatly into an outer slipcase".
