Grapefruit

Grapefruit is a UK-based music label that specializes in psych/garage-era music from the 1966-70 timeframe. Managed by Cherry Red, Grapefruit focuses on releasing single-artist career anthologies and definitive versions of rare and classic albums. Each release features sympathetic artwork, rare photos, detailed liner notes, and high-quality sound from the original masters.

First-ever complete anthology of highly-regarded early 70s American proto-power pop band Crabby Appleton. Includes both albums, alternative mix/non-LP singles and the restoration of two brief tracks only included on original 8-track release.

After the demise of Curt Boettcher’s late 60s project The Millennium, gifted singer and songwriter Michael Fennelly joined forces with LA club band Stonehenge to form Crabby Appleton.&nbsp;Signed to Elektra, they made their debut with the glorious ‘Go Back’, a hit single that married a mid-60s pop sensibility with early 70s studio advances to stand as a proto-power pop classic.

A slightly different mix of the track featured on their self-titled debut album, which attracted rave reviews from the underground press and sold reasonably well.&nbsp;But the band were unable to follow ‘Go Back’ with another hit single, and after second album ‘Rotten To The Core!’ made little impact, they disintegrated.

The first-ever complete compilation of the band’s work, Go Back: The Crabby Appleton Anthology includes both albums and a raft of singles (including rare mono mixes and non- LP tracks) as well as two miniature tracks that were only included on the first album’s 8- track release and are therefore making their first digital appearance.

Featuring a new 5000 word essay on the band, and housed in a stylish digipak, Go Back is the definite document of a fine group that deserve to be remembered as far more than one-hit wonders.
