– Family – Scene Through The Eye Of A Lens – Liberty Records UK –
Sadly, Family never achieved the recognition in the U.S. that they had in the UK and throughout Europe. In 1967, when they emerged as Family, losing their previous incarnation as The Roaring 60’s, they were met with much enthusiasm and a lot of high hopes for worldwide success.
Tonight it’s the first single issued by the band in September of 1967. Scene Through The Eyes Of A Lens was released by Liberty Records in the UK, but sadly not in the U.S. – they wouldn’t have any material issued here until they switched labels in 1968 to Warner/Reprise, where their first album Music In A Dolls House was met with critical acclaim, but not much in the way of sales domestically. Overseas, it was another story.
But for now it’s first things first and Scene Through The Eyes Of A Lens is a good introduction.
If you’ve spent any time poking around social media and visiting websites the one thing that may hit you is how unique Past Daily actually is. It’s music you may not be familiar with or have forgotten about – it’s history without turning it into an “eat your vegetables” exercise – it’s people from the past; iconic and notorious who you may have read about or heard about but never actually heard what they had to say. It’s the occasional odd observation on life and living the day-to-day which may prompt you to nod or wince. One thing Past Daily is not is boring. The world is in a constant state of change and it’s good to be reminded that, very often, we’ve been on this road before and have experienced the same results.
