You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Bandstand''''' is the sixth studio [[album]] by the British [[progressive rock]] band [[Family (band)|Family]]. Released in 1972, it was their second and last album to chart in the United States. The original album cover was [[Die (manufacturing)|die-cut]] in the shape of a [[Bush (brand)|Bush TV22]] television set, with a black-and-white image of the band onscreen.

==Background==
''Bandstand'' marked a notable change of direction for the band. Family's sound had become more mainstream and somewhat more conventional. By [[Roger Chapman]]'s own admission, he and [[Charlie Whitney]] were getting more standardised in their songwriting, relying more on choruses and regular verse structure. Their sound was brought closer to the mainstream by British soul singer [[Linda Lewis]] contributing backing vocals, and Del Newman string arrangements.((citation needed|date=May 2021))

''Bandstand'' opened with "[[Burlesque (Family song)|Burlesque]]", a straight rocker about a bar of that name in Chapman and Whitney's hometown of [[Leicester]], England. Released as a single in the UK, it got up to number thirteen on the [[UK Singles Chart]]. Heavier songs on ''Bandstand'' included "Broken Nose", an angry sexual rant involving the British class structure, and "Ready To Go", a swipe at Family's detractors in the British rock press. Family also were becoming more adept with introspective tunes like "Coronation", about an apartment dweller ruminating about his neighbours and his own dishevelled flat, and "Dark Eyes," an atmospheric, sensual ballad Chapman wrote with [[Poli Palmer]]. Many Family fans cited "Glove", a soulful power ballad about meeting a woman through an act of chivalry, as one of their best songs ever. "[[My Friend the Sun]]", a straight acoustic ballad, displayed a tenderness previously absent in Chapman's vocal style. It was also issued as a single in the UK, but did not chart.((citation needed|date=May 2021))

''Bandstand'' was the last Family album to feature [[John Wetton]]. Having joined the band only a year earlier and being a large vocal and instrumental presence on ''[[Fearless (Family album)|Fearless]]'', Wetton's role in the band was reduced on ''Bandstand,'' and he left to join [[King Crimson]]. He was replaced by [[Jim Cregan]], and the group toured North America with [[Elton John]] immediately after ''Bandstand'''s release . They received favourable exposure from American critics and radio DJs and built up a small but loyal cult following in the US as a result.((citation needed|date=May 2021))

''Bandstand'' is the only Family album not to feature an instrumental track. Spectacles Records issued((when|date=January 2021)) a [[Unusual types of gramophone records#Colored records|glow-in-the-dark vinyl]] picture disc version of this album, the album reissued as a double with the Family compilation "Old Songs, New Songs" on sepia-coloured translucent vinyl. This rare double album, in a clear plastic sleeve, regularly reaches up to $4,000 when it turns up at auction.((cn|date=January 2021))
