Bandstand is the sixth studio album by the British progressive rock band Family. Released in 1972, it was the second and last album to chart in the United States. The original album cover was die-cut in the shape of a Bush TV22 television set, with a black-and-white image of the band onscreen. Bandstand marked a notable change of direction for the band. Family's sound had become more mainstream and somewhat more conventional.
Family’s follow up album Anyway, released in late 1970, had its first half consist of new material recorded live at Fairfield Hall in Croydon, England, with the second half a set of new songs recorded in the studio, and reached on the UK chart. In March 1971 the compilation album, Old Songs New Songs, was released, but in June Weider left Family to join Stud. He was replaced by former Mogul Thrash bassist John Wetton, who had just declined an invitation from Robert Fripp to join King Crimson. In 1972, another album, Bandstand was released, which leaned more towards hard rock than art rock, featuring the singles Burlesque in late 1972, and My Friend the Sun, which was released in early 1973.
Bandstand is a music studio album recording by FAMILY (Eclectic Prog/Progressive Rock) released in 1972 on cd, lp, vinyl and/or cassette. Anyway, this song is a very good closing number. Bandstand is an album only partly progressive, however, equipped with 8 very good songs, partly rock, partly blues, funk, with a good first side and an excellent second side.
While many critics dismiss this album, it was the first real release that merged Chapman comfortably with the band's bizarre instrumental outcrops that actually stuck. While albums like Bandstand, It's Only a Movie, and the earlier Family Entertainment have received greater praise, Anyway's abrasiveness is just as relevant.
