'A Phase We've Been Through'
FdM Vol 17
commercial suicide is painless
VIBRAVOID...CHEMISTRY SET...CRANIUM PIE...SENDELICA...STAY and more...

GOOD NEWS!

We've put together a home-made CDr of tracks by bands that we've worked with during 2010. Completely free, totally exclusive and a very silly thing to do from any commercial perspective i can think of, this will be given away by us to friends who've supported us by buying direct from us through the year, plus the bands themselves, and a select few reviewers and shop owners who've given us the time of day when it's alot easier for them to stick with the major labels, big distributors and bands with an obvious following and sales appeal - thank you all

 

We've been totally reliant on bands to give us their tracks for nothing, with no prospect of anything in return, and gawd bless 'em, that's exactly what they've done, creating a 17-track collection of covers and original songs - many of them ONLY AVAILABLE on this release. If you got hold of one of our Christmas 2009 cassettes, you'll kind of know what to expect. The only way to be certain of geting a copy at this late stage is to join the FdM Members Club and buy all our autumn 2010 releases
- email andy@fruitsdemerrecords.com for more information on the club

We reckon that it's a compilation that stacks up against any comps released in 2010 - where else would you find bands like Permanent Clear Light, Vibravoid, Stay, The Sw!ms and Hausfrauen Experiment, not to mention covers of tracks by The Pretty Things, Serge Gainsbourg and a Finnish carol.

BAD NEWS!

This was sent exclusively to FdM members, bands and supporters - it's long, long gone, never to return
