Family Gotown - Fruity (Unreleased Album)




FAMILY GOTOWN
Fruity (Unreleased Album)
1992 Vertigo

Notes :
Another lost gem from early 90's period, unreleased album called ''Fruity'' from Family Gotown.
They were obscure UK indie band who released only three singles: ''Turtle EP (1992)'', ''Box EP (1992)'' & ''Innocence And Experience EP (1993)''.

Family Gotown recorded album ''Fruity'' but their label Vertigo dropped them prior to the LP coming out. Such a shame, it's really fantastic album, contains 13 songs of hammond organ driven indie guitar pop.

01. Box
02. Yes, I'm Small
03. Why Do You Walk?
04. Time
05. Maybe Tomorrow
06. Lost My Voice
07. Slipping Away
08. Turtle
09. In Your Smile
10. Today Yesterday
11. Different Things
12. Mr. Blue's Bursting Bubble
13. Pink Lemonade

I have a couple of their CD singles from way back (and the original Deadline tape which introduced me to them) but had no idea this was available anywhere! Thanks for posting!

Have you ever come across the unreleased and only album by Pullover? Recorded around 1996 for the Starfish Label but the band broke up before it's release and the album went unreleased. Lead singe Holiday was released and one song surfaced later, a re-recording of the song "White Horses and Shooting Stars" on a Fierce Panda compilation.

Hi Ricky, I don't have an MP3 copy of it but I should still have the tape somewhere (in a box in the loft) - I'll see if I can find it and make an mp3 copy of it for you. I played that tape a lot, there were some great tunes on it.
