Fruits de Mer Records is a British independent record label based in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England, established by Keith Jones and Andy Bracken in 2008.[1] [2] [3] It releases psychedelic rock, psychedelic folk, folk rock, space rock and krautrock music,[4] [5] with an international roster of artists spanning from the 1960s to the present.[6] [7] [8]
The record label principally releases music on phonograph record format, but compact disc is commonly used for its Various Artists compilations, while compact cassettes have also been issued.[9] [10] [11] Some of the outputs are reissues of classic albums or singles, while others are modern takes on psychedelia.[12] [13] [14] The company has several imprints, including Regal Crabomophone, Strange Fish, Friends of the Fish, Head Cleaner and Tiny, which have their own series of catalogue numbers, but are treated like standard Fruits de Mer Records releases.[15] [16]
The organization is also responsible for coordinating an annual psychedelic music festival since 2013, originally named the Summer Fruits de Mer All-Dayer.[17] In 2014, the event was renamed Crabstock: The Fruits de Mer Records Festival of Psychedelia.[18] The following year, the showcase became a three-day event and was renamed The Dream of Dr. Sardonicus: A Festival of Psychedelia,[19] which continues to take place annually at The Cellar Bar and Art Gallery in Cardigan, Wales.[20] The bands' performances at the festival are often recorded and released by the record label.[21] [22]
History
Prior to forming Fruits de Mer Records, Andy Bracken operated his own record company, Bracken Records, which existed from 2004 to 2010.[23] He and Keith Jones got together in early 2008 to establish Fruits de Mer Records, which was operated as an imprint label of Bracken Records, and remained as such until the closure of the parent company in late 2010. Fruits de Mer Records' early releases featured cover versions of classic songs interpreted by modern bands. In 2011, Bracken and Jones established the imprint Regal Crabomophone, with the intention of releasing original songs by modern bands.[24] Outputs through Fruits de Mer Records bare catalog numbers starting with the word crustacean, while those released through Regal Crabomophone bare catalog numbers starting with the word winkle.
Bracken left the partnership in 2012, shortly after relocating to Virginia, United States.[25] Jones has since assumed full ownership and continues to operate the record label with occasional help from his family and of close musical collaborators. In 2013, Jones established the imprint Strange Fish, with the intention of releasing bands and artists whose genres go beyond what Fruits de Mer Records and Regal Crabomophone normally released; mainly more experimental or hard-to-categorize artists. Outputs through Strange Fish bare catalog numbers starting with the words strange fish. In June 2013, Record Collector magazine released the Various Artists compilation Plankton: A Fruits de Mer Collection, as part of its Rare Vinyl Series, which includes a selection of material from the label's out-of-print releases.
In 2014, Jones established the imprint Friends of the Fish.[15] The purpose of this imprint has been expanded over the years, but generally includes limited-edition lathe cut vinyls, series of Various Artists compilation albums given out for free to Fruits de Mer Records Club members and at live events and festivals, and releases financed by bands that benefit from Fruits de Mer Records' distribution network and fan-base. Outputs through Friends of the Fish Fish bare catalog numbers starting with the words friends of the fish and generally also include the Fruits de Mer Records logo. Jones established the imprint Head Cleaner in 2015, with the intention of releasing cassette tape-format albums.[26] Outputs through Head Cleaner bare catalog numbers starting with the words head cleaner.
On 20 April 2016, radio disc jockey Gideon Coe dedicated an entire three-hour BBC Radio 6 Music program to Fruits de Mer Records. In March 2018, music journalist Dave Thompson published the book The Incomplete Angler - Ten Years of Fruits de Mer, which chronicles the first ten years of the record label's history, along with an extensive discography of the company's output.[27] The book was released in two editions: the Standard Edition and the Members Club Edition, which comes packaged in a special pouch with additional stickers, flyers, a poster, and vinyl singles. In celebration of its ten-year anniversary, the record label released the Various Artists compilations Goldfish: Fruits de Mer Records 10 Years on Vinyl and The Three Seasons: The Spring, Summer and Autumn of Love.[28] [29] [30] In 2018, Jones launched the imprint Tiny, specifically to release 5” lathe-cut singles.
