Our friends at Fruits de Mer Records have, as ever, been busy and productive this year. Earlier in the summer they reissued Fuchsia’s first album (on fuchsia-coloured vinyl needless to say) as a double set with extra tracks , a DVD, and various inserts. It was ludicrously cheap for what it was and has now, of course, sold out.

Their new project, available to order now,  is a triple album of new recordings of some of the finest songs that first appeared in the years around the Summer of Love – 1966 to 1968. Some of Fruits de Mer’s best-known artists are joined by some new faces and a few who were actually there. Just take a glance down the list and check out a couple of tunes too:
