Family - Music in a Doll's House

Released: July 19, 1968

Along with The Soft Machine, The Family (as they were initially styled) were one of the few bands from outside the Home Counties to make a splash on the London underground scene after leaving their Leicestershire base in 1967.

Bedecked in intelligent but heavily lysergic lyrics, the hugely ambitious Music In A Doll’s House evokes the era as eloquently as anything, with seminal songs like “Me My Friend,” “Hey Mr Policeman” and “Peace Of Mind” matched all the way by Mason’s barnstorming production, which utilized backwards mellotrons, violin feedback, trumpets, the obligatory phasing and Roger Chapman’s acquired taste vibrato vocals to create a swirling, perverted, densely hallucinatory wall of sound. (David Wells, Record Collector)

This is a near mint copy of the rare mono first pressing (RLP6312) in a very good condition sleeve (but without the original lyric sheet). Please see photos of the actual sleeve and LP to ascertain the condition.

It will be packaged in a strong cardboard envelope and delivered anywhere in UK by recorded delivery. Please enquire if you are buying from aboard as this will increase costs.
