Leicester City on (really old) album cover

[Blaarev]

Familly's "Best of Family" album from 1974 has a cover with several City players on it. Who are they?
I'm guessing Rodney Fern, Malcolm Partridge and Ally Brown even though none of them where still with us in '74.

Does anyone in here have this album?

 

[Profondo Rosso]

It's the members of the band as if they were playing for Leicester. I seem to remember it being discussed on here before, they were big Leicester fans and a successful band in the 60s.

 

[The Old Fox]

Oh yes! I thought that owning this album was a prerequisite for any City fan. :icon_bigg
I suspect that the band members have their own facial features to City players with some likeness. The chap behind the Rodney Fern look-a-like is wearing glasses!

 

[Blaarev]

Rodney Fern = Roger Chapman?

 

[Blaarev]

Can we expect something similar for a Kasabian "best of" album?

 

[The Old Fox]

Rodney Fern = Roger Chapman?

Yes.

Family - "In my own time" and "Burlesque" are British rock classics from early 70's. Unfortunately, none of their other songs came close to these two brilliant tracks

Hawkwind "Silver machine", Atomic Rooster "Devil's Answer", Deep Purple "Black Night", T.Rex "Jeepster", Free "Wishing Well", Bowie "Jean Genie", Humble Pie/Sensational Alex Harvey Band/Traffic... what a time to be a teenager in England!

I must disagree because you left out "The Weaver."

The Weavers Answer

Weaver of Life
Let me look and see
The Pattern of your life gone by
Shown on your tapestry...

Some of Rog's finest wailings on this one (along with tambourine destruction).
The finest song to come out of Leicester along with the Chapman /Whitney created Lords and Ladies.

First Album 'Music in a Doll's House' (July 15 1968)
All Leicester lads Roger Chapman, Jim King, John (Charlie) Whitney, Ric Gretsch, and Rob Townsend.

Many songs reflected their growing up in the City, Processions, Mellowing Grey, Me my Friend, Winter

Haven't got this one but I do have an LP which is a side each of Peter Shilton and Jon Sammels talking quietly about stuff. It's not very good, but when I saw it I had to buy it.

 

[robthornton]

can't believe no one has mentioned 'no mules fool'

 

[Polar Bear]

Mention of an 8-track? Classy first post. Welcome, robthornton.
