	Hi, Such a nice album ... such a nice album!!! Just about all of FAMILY's work was a part of the early Space Pirate Radio shows, and it continues to pop up all the time. It continued with the follow up to the band (Streetwalkers) which had a couple of super nice albums as well, and then later Chappo by himself, and I still have those LP's since I have not seen them on CD yet. I miss the "choicy" stuff like this, and would also like to include The Groundhogs, both of which have outstanding guitar work in their work. Nowadays, it seems like a mindless solo, instead of a part of a well constructed song which both of these certainly had in their lifetime. A RIP to our friend Toni McPhee ... irreplaceable as a lead guitarist ... and to think that he spent a lot of time his whole life doing blues with a master. Would also like to see "Anyway", "Bandstand" and "It's Only a Movie" redone. All of these are fabulous material, unless some folks are interested in the bass player in the early Family days ... a certain Mr. John Wetton! NP: The whole LIVE double album (Streetwalkers) ... that is not even listed properly on the fudging wiki! Edited by moshkito - August 13 2023 at 09:58
	Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com
