Review: From the opening Jim King falsetto on "The Chase" to the quirky "God Save The Queen" ending, MUSIC IN A DOLL'S HOUSE never flags. In 1968 King's saxophone and Ric Grech's violin were imaginative additions to the standard band profile, and their playing was skin-tight. With the strangled vibrato of Roger Chapman's vocals--still one of rock's most astonishing performers--Family created a power that has rarely been matched. "Old Songs New Songs" is a great rocker in anyone's book (why fade it in mid-flight?), and "Voyage" presents a classic slice of psychedelia. Over-produced (by Dave Mason) it may be, but as a debut album there are few equals of its time.
