Description
Fruit (The Fruit Band) is a legendary group from Jacksonville, Florida. One of the most requested tracks from a phantom recording session they held in the late 1970s, which remained unreleased for many years, is finally back on a 7-inch single.
The A-side track "Say It" is so powerful that it inspired the label owner to scour the country to find the band. It is the ultimate euphoric, floating disco sound, with a mellow melody that will stay in your head after just one listen, soaring alongside sophisticated vocal harmonies.
The B-side track "Space Lady" was previously unreleased until its first appearance on an LP, and this is the first time it has ever been cut to 45 RPM. A psychedelic, funky disco number reminiscent of Funkadelic, with a sharp edge, it is an addictive track that reveals something new every time you listen to it.
Etched into the grooves of this small 7-inch record, this recording truly comes alive the moment you drop the needle. The reverberation of the tight snare and the punch of the bass that makes the air vibrate are full of a physical dynamism that can never be experienced with a digital recording. This record has the power to shake the dance floor, so don't hesitate to get your hands on it.
A1. Say It
B1. Space Lady
Jacksonville finest, The Fruit band's unreleased disco LP was released a few years ago on Athens but after many requests we are dropping a couple of 45s. 'Say It' is their best track, floaty disco goodness of the highest order, and the track that sent me out to find the band, a stone-cold killer. On the flip is the previously unreleased (before we did the LP) 'Space' Lady, an almost funkadelic disco number that catches my ear every time I go back to it, so decided to cut to 45 for the first time. Do it.
