Fearless (Family album)
Fearless was the fifth album from the British rock band Family, which was released on 29 October 1971. It was known for its innovative layered-page album headshots of the band's members melding into a single blur.
Reception
AllMusic deemed the album "uneven", but noted that it had some strong highlights, such as "Spanish Tide", "Save Some for Thee", and "Take Your Partners", the last of which saw "the bandmembers maneuver their interaction with an aptitude and skill that would arguably best any jam-based aggregate of the day."[1]
