Marina & The Diamonds: The Family Jewels versie op vinyl LP in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij Atlantic op 30. oktober 2015.

The Family Jewels is the debut studio album by Welsh singer Marina Diamandis, professionally known as Marina and the Diamonds. It was released on 6 March 2010 by 679 Recordings and Atlantic Records. The album was produced by Greg Kurstin, who also worked with Diamandis on her extended play (EP) The Crown Jewels (2008). Musically, The Family Jewels is a pop album that contains elements of electropop and synthpop. The album's lyrical content is based on Diamandis' alter ego "Electra Heart". Upon its release, The Family Jewels received mixed reviews from music critics. Some praised Diamandis' vocal performance and songwriting, while others criticized the album's production and considered the lyrical content childish. The album debuted at number two on the UK album chart and sold over 58,000 copies in its first week. It later won a gold certificate from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The album also charted in the top twenty in Ireland and Scotland. The album spawned four singles, "I Am Not a Robot", "Oh No!", "Hollywood" and "Radioactive".

Album valt binnen het genre Rock, Pop, Elektronische muziek, Indie Rock, Pop Rock en Europop.

"I am Marina and you are Diamonds," the Greek singer from Wales recently wrote to her fans on her Myspace page, making it clear once and for all that this is not a girl plus band. For Marina Diamandis herself knows well what is good and what is class. And the British media was happy to recognise that: The Sunday Telegraph has already declared the singer's music "the soundtrack of the year", The Independent on Sunday talked about "the next big thing of 2010" and Look put it in a nutshell: "Her addictive album catapults her into her big time. We're already absolutely obsessed with her single Hollywood!" "The Family Jewels" was produced in collaboration with Pascal Gabriel, a Belgian producer who has done big things from Marc Almond to New Order to Kylie Minogue. He did a great job on "The Family Jewels" as well, giving Marin's immensely wide range and idiosyncrasy a homogeneous foundation that makes the album sound like it's all in one piece. Now her debut album "The Family Jewels" is ready for release and has already been awarded the number 5 spot in the UK charts. Marina is sure to break into the top league with this album. Review ,,What you'll hear are extremely carefully conceived songs in the tension between timelessly slick, semi-anthemic adult pop rock, slightly edgy indie rock with many 80s influences and a blunt claim to deliver enduring hits. Only potential world stars will come up with such a blend!" (Good Times, 10.11.2010)
