BEST OF FAMILY K 54023 (-74) UK

Issued after the groups 1973 break-up it became the second official UK compilation by the band. The first "Old Songs New Songs" (Reprise RMP 9007) was more an excuse for issuing re-makes of older tracks they weren't pleased with in the first place, but also had some some nice '45 takes - all 1968-71. They have two tracks in common - "No Mules Fool" and "The Weavers Answer" - but apart from that this is from the later years. With such a great band there are no bad compilations, so all tracks here are good. It's a mystery though they missed the "Boom Bang" A-side and a few non-LP B-sides. It would have been the right place for them. With that in mind it's still totally OK. The audio is top notch and the wrapping fine. Also issued in Germany (Reprise REP 54023). First UK with label as shown here, fully laminated cover and "Family Tree"/lyric inner. (FÄXI*)
