Friends & Relatives
Friends & Relatives is a compilation released in September 1999 by Eagle Records, with Purple Pyramid handling the US release. Rather than centring on a single act, it gathers songs from various artists connected to Electric Light Orchestra, including The Move and Wizzard. It suits anyone who enjoys following the branches of that family tree and hearing how the paths of these bands crossed.
