Faragher Bros – Family Ties
Family Ties by Faragher Bros is a polished piece of 1970s American soul, funk and blue-eyed soul, released on ABC Records under catalogue number AB-1009. Built around the Faragher brothers’ vocal harmonies, the album combines soulful songwriting with the smooth, sophisticated production that characterised some of the finest West Coast soul of the period.
The Faragher brothers developed a distinctive sound based on tight family harmonies, strong melodies and an easy blend of soul, funk and pop influences. Family Ties is a particularly fitting title: the musical chemistry between the brothers is central to the record, giving the performances a natural warmth and cohesion.
For collectors of overlooked 1970s soul and funk, Faragher Bros are well worth discovering. Their records sit comfortably alongside the more sophisticated end of the era’s soul catalogue, while retaining a character of their own. Family Ties is the kind of album that rewards listeners willing to explore beyond the biggest names and labels of the decade.
This copy is especially attractive where it matters most: the vinyl is graded Near Mint, showing very little evidence of previous handling. The sleeve is graded VG, with normal visible signs of age and previous use while remaining a solid and presentable collection copy.
