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

Hey! This is very good. I'm liking it lots. Big thanks. You run a wonderful blog here.
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!
superb, why did label dump them? around at wrong time I guess, "Pink Lemonade" what a tune, Thanks for this!
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.
yeah, really very good album, every song! do you have smth else of them? Demos, lives..
Just giving this another listen!
Paul,
Do you have mp3 copy of Deadline tape ?
I'm looking for that Deadline magazine tapes very long time:

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.
Thanks for putting this back on - looking forward to finally hearing after 27 years.
Ouau! Nice gem!
Thank you Ricky!
Paul, if you can send me copy of your tape, will be fantastic.
This is a really great album. I did not even suspect it's existence. Great job Mr Ryzan and keep up the great work.
