Family - A Song For Me (CD)

Sealed. Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1970 album. Recorded at Olympic Studios in late 1969 and issued in January 1970, A Song For Me marked a new chapter in the story of the band. The middle months of 1969 had been a period of trauma with the departure of bassist/violinist Ric Grech to join the supergroup Blind Faith and the dismissal of saxophonist Jim King. As a result, vocalist Roger Chapman, guitarist John 'Charlie' Whitney and drummer Rob Townsend recruited bassist and violinist John Weider (previously with Eric Burdon And The Animals) and multi-instrumentalist John 'Poli' Palmer (previously with Blossom Toes and then Eclection) joined on vibes, keyboards and flute. As a result of the line-up change, the musical characteristics of Family progressed and 'A Song For Me' was a wonderful showcase for the reincarnated band. Upon it's release the album reached number four in the UK charts and saw the band enjoy further success in Europe. This new two-disc edit
