"Here is where the completists get their just reward. Ever wonder about all those singles you couldn't get in the US? Kicking yourself about the fact that after you bought the whole Family catalog, everything got re-released with "extra tracks?" Then go ahead & buy Anthology, which has all those singles & B-sides, along with 8 tacks from Song For Me, 5 tracks from Anyway (6 if you count In My Own Time, which was on the American version), 5 tracks from Fearless, 6 tracks from Bandstand, and 6 tracks from It's Only A Movie.I can't imagine that there is someone interested in Family who doesn't already have this stuff, but anyone out there wanting to take a first look at the greatest '70's Progressive rock band of all time should give Anthology a shot. The rest of you will recognize the song titles & know what you have here. You want a solid 2 CD compilation of Family, this one is just what the doctor ordered. The quality is top-notch, and whoever chose these cuts chose really well. And yes, the price is not a typo, they really will sell it to you for this price, all 37 tracks & 2 CDs of it."
