Family Entertainment was the second album from the British progressive rock band Family, released in March 1969. The cover of the album was a takeoff from the sleeve of the Doors' second album, ''Strange Days'', as Family admitted. The album was released on Reprise Records (RSLP6340) in stereo pressings, no mono pressings are known, in the USA, England and Germany. Initial UK pressings came with a black and white poster/lyric sheet inside. Original inner bags were the gold-on-white 'Egyptian' poly-lined Reprise house bags. The band were on tour in America and their manager hastily mixed and released the album without their approval. This proved to be the end of their relationship with manager John Gilbert (who retained the rights to the album via his Dukeslodge production deal which, by now, was registered in the Bahamas, the address of which was proudly printed on the album sleeve). String arrangements were by Tony Cox, played by the Heavenly Strings, Nicky Hopkins played piano on some tracks. Famed illustrator Alan Aldridge was the album designer with photos taken by Rodger Phillips. ''Family Entertainment'' was the last album from the group's original lineup. ==The album== Family's momentum was almost derailed by the departure of Grech for Blind Faith two months after ''Family Entertainments UK release, which caused their first U.S. tour to founder, and Jim King only worsened the situation with his departure later in 1969. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Family Entertainment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
