Fruits De Mer have once again picked a fine platter of 7 inch vinyl singles to drop on you this August.
Keith at FdM "With this crop of new singles, Fruits de Mer is doing what we set out to do five years ago - getting new artists (and one or two who aren't quite so new) to reinterpret classic and long-lost songs from the 60s and early 70s, with the emphasis on psychedelia."
Jack Ellister has turned to Sgt Peppers' track by George Harrison ' Within You Without You' backed with Mark Fry's 1972 psychedelic 'acid' folk rock and a Syd Barrett song.
The rest of the singles look equally as exotic.
Crystal Jacqueline (FdM 39) Cousin Jane (The Troggs) / Play With Fire (Rolling Stones) / A Fairy Tale (Second Hand)
Stay (Regal Crabomophone Winkle 10) I See The Rain (Marmalade) / If I Needed Someone (Beatles) / Guess I Was Dreaming (The Fairytale) / Mersey Dream (Stay)
White Sails (Regal Crabomophone Winkle 11) Laguna Sunrise (Black Sabbath) / Fluff (Black Sabbath) / The Answer (White Sails) / Death On A Pale Horse (White Sails)
Me and My Kites with Tony Durant, from Fuchsia (Regal Crabomophone Winkle 12) The Band (Tony Durant) / Isis' Adventure (Me And My Kites)
After the Stones at Glastonbury 2013 played a 'version' of 2000 Light Years Away From Home.." could it be time the album that spawned it - 'Satanic Majesties Request' gets it's due attention as an all time classic psychedelic album? Certainly Jack Ellister, on last years August releases by FdM, already knows the answer to that when he released a great version of "Citadel" from that very album.
