Family

I have the song 'Burlesque' in my head - any good Family recommendations?

This is (I think) from 'Bandstand', which is the only album of theres I have, and it's very good, so a reasonable place to start (see the review on Allmusic.com). This also has an interesting cover on vinyl if you are that way inclined (readily available secondhand).

Hi
"Music in a doll's house" was their first album and remains my favourite by far, a jazzy, psychdeic mix way ahead of it's time (1968).
All of their other albums are of interest as well but none is as strong IMO.
Regards

The Weaver's Answer

is one of my favourite songs of all time and the relevant album (Family Entertainment) is pretty strong all round - another contender for classic track status being IMHO Processions.

The single No Mule's Fool also sticks in the mind though I can't have heard it for years. Is it on an album somewhere?

Strangely enough I don't remember ever hearing Doll's House though I've wondered about it countless times - almost scored it on eBay a few months back. Armed with Monkfish's recommendation I might just finally grab a copy.
