Newsletter, September / October 1971
Dear All,
The first news I have for you is about the single and the great success of “In My Own Time”. As you all must know, it went up to number 5 in the charts, which we are all very thrilled about. Many thanks to all of you for supporting the group and the record.
Family now have a new bass guitarist. He’s called John Wetton, is 22 and came to the group from America where he was doing session work. He plays bass and acoustic guitar, piano and also sings.
The new album is being recorded at the moment. It’s scheduled for mid October release and is to be called “FEARLESS”. The cover is red, white and blue. Also the group are working at rehearsals for the tour in November.
