Fruits de Mer records,sounds like something you are more likely to discover in a seafood restaurant,than your local record store.
The first release on catalogue was,in the hands of the New Jersey band,Schizo Fun Addict,they made a version of “Theme One” of Van Der Graff Generator,and it sounded exactly same in 2008,than it had been in 67´.
Andy Bracken and Keith Jones,were the founders of Fruits de Mer records,back in 2008,year.
In 2018,during the 10 anniversary,a new Pretties single,”The Same Sun”,was probably the best anniversary gift,Jones could ver have envisioned.

Fruits de Mer has a bit of history when it comes to recreating albums from the 60s and 70s,
The Hollies-Butterfly,The Pretty Things -S.F. Sorrow,Eggs first album,

20 th dream dr Sardonicus

Fuchsia reconvened.The UK 70s Folk-rock tradition,revived in 2020.

Posted on 2 Juliol, 202021 Juliol, 2020 by rpiserra@gmail.com

Tony Durant formed UK folk-rock band Fuchsia, who recorded their self-titled debut album in 1971.
The style developed by Fuchsia was a folkish trio (guitar,bass,drums) with string orchestral arrangements.
Due to the inability of both manager and label to promote the record, they disbanded without getting a successful hit.
After Fuchsia,Tony took his musical career to Australia,playing,producing and workin on jingles,advertising and films.
In 2000, Mojo Magazine tagged the Fuchsia album a “forgotten classic”.

This legendary LP has become an all-time classic, in the vein of groups like Trees, Tir Na Nog, Mellow Candle, Strawbs or the great magical music made in the late 60s/early 70s by Roy Harper,Nick Drake or Van Morrison.
