While Curtis Mayfield produced Let’s Do It Again and 1976’s Pass It On, The Staples switched it up on 1977’s Family Tree, opting to work with another Chicago-based producer Eugene Record who had experienced his own chart success co-writing and singing lead on a number of hits with his band the Chi-Lites.

This new edition of Family Tree features liner notes from Grammy®-Award winning author Rob Bowman and 2 bonus tracks. It was produced and remastered by Grammy®-winners Cheryl Pawelski and Michael Graves respectively, and includes photos and ephemera in the booklet.
