7" 45RPM Vinyl single reissued for Recordstore Day 2015 .
October '67 signalled, on record, the arrival of cult Leicester group Family whose debut single 'Scene Through The Eye Of A Lens' not only had a trippy title, but was also one of the very best psychedelic records from England (and there were many killers).
'Scene Through The Eye Of A Lens' starts off real slow with Roger Chapman's famous warble combined with a hypnotic slightly eastern sound. But mid-way into this psychedelic classic the pulsating lysergic rhythms take the listener beyond the stars.
The flip 'Gypsy Woman' is a straight blues song with no hint of acid.
The original 45 is rare (close to £250 for a mint copy) : both sides of this Liberty single were added to a limited edition re-issue of 'Music In A Doll's House' and were available only for a short time.
Brand new and shrinkwrapped .
Tracklisting : Scene Through The Eye Of A Lens / Gypsy Woman
