[edit] Miscellanea

The Beatles had originally intended to use the title A Doll's House for the album they were recording during 1968. The release of Family's similarly titled debut then prompted them to adopt the minimalist title The Beatles for what is now more commonly referred to as The White Album.

"Old Songs, New Songs" features a cameo from the Tubby Hayes group.
