2.0 out of 5 stars family --one to disown, February 28, 2006

its always nice to have compilations of various spinoffs of such a great band. however, this is a blatant attempt to just pad their wallets. for a casual fan-sure, this is ok to have and it will help with furthering their interest but for collectors stay away. fanatics of which I am!-have pretty much all of this covered. there is still some offshoot albums that have not been reissued and I for one am getting tired of repetition!!! they have already brought out SOLO FLYTE which was fine summation of selected odds and ends. FAMILY and SOLO FLYTE do have there differences but this could have been so much better. how about it LABELS?---if your going to dig into vaults--trying looking around!!!!!
