Recorded in Somerset utilising a mobile studio and at Olympic Studios in the Summer of 1973, this was the final studio album by Family featuring yet another line-up of the band. Vocalist Roger Chapman, guitarist John 'Charlie' Whitney and drummer Rob Townsend were joined by new members Tony Ashton (keyboards) and Jim Cregan (bass, guitar). Released in September 1973, the album closed a chapter on one Britain's most unique bands. This new two-disc edition of this classic album has been newly remastered from the master tapes and also includes 19 bonus tracks drawn from singles and previously unreleased studio out-takes along with a bonus CD of BBC Radio sessions from 1973, including a superb In Concert performance and a final Session for the Top Gear show. This release also features an illustrated booklet with a new essay and is a fitting tribute to a much-treasured band.
