FAMILY ‘A Song for Me’ 1970 REPRISE STEAMBOAT LABEL GATEFOLD LP & LYRIC INSERT
Twenty seven years after the fact, this might well be the best of the early Family recordings. A combination of hard rock (bordering on metal) and wistful folk-rock (it sounds as if Chapman and Whitney were listening to a lot of Incredible String Band), A Song for Me veers toward early progressive rock, but isn't as nakedly indulgent as some early prog-rock recordings (e.g., they didn't try to sound like a jazz band, they wanted to sound like a rock band screwing around with jazz).
Perhaps their most experimental record, it seems as though the credo in making this disc was that anything went. And on tracks like "Drowned in Wine," it works quite well. Again, Chapman offers more proof of his vocal greatness.
This is a lovely, original, copy with sleeve, vinyl and insert all in Excellent condition. The LP is unmarked, plays beautifully and I would guess this has been very little played in its life. A very solid, collectors’ condition (and complete) copy.
