I’ve not investigated any Fruits de Mer releases but the packaging you showed is very impressive for such a small label. Two Tone fits the thread perfectly so it was good you showed a much lesser well known Two Tone record. That Mulato collection looks intriguing. Have never heard of him / them before. Excellent response.
The first record that occurred to me was the Stranglers and then the Two Tone label. I love the cover of Astralasia's Wind On Water and the Michael Padilla too. I made a list of B&W covers in my collection a couple of years ago. I am going to have to have a look at it 🙂
Glad to hear that the car got its annual wash, Dale. Nothing quite says Christmas like a nice clean car. It’s right up there with eating too many mince pies (I have an addiction). Nice stack of records there. Never seen that Specials live record. I bet that’s a right treat.
My favorite of what you showed is The Stranglers LP. Fortunately, I secured a copy and am thoroughly enjoying it ! See you Dale, and all the best in 2024 🎵
Hi Dale Thanks for doing a response..interesting choices..love the Wind on Water sleeve..that's gorgeous, the music within sounds intriguing too from your description. I've never listened to 50 words for snow all the way through..must remedy that. I don't have the 7" for Black and White either. That Belle and Sebastian EP comp is something i'd like. I had a chance to buy a copy of that Bill Fey album, but passed at the time. All the best mate. Rob.
That's an interesting mix, Dale. I've now got an each to have a look what monochrome covers I have. Btw my car has its annual wash when it goes in for its annual service and MOT! My car cleaning kit remains untouched 😅
Merry Christmas Dale. I can hear your car purring from delight from here! 😂 Some beauties there. Especially love the first album from the Fruit de mer label…..ingenious. Mike

Keith who runs the Fruits de Mer label certainly makes life difficult for himself with some of lavish releases...

Oooh a list, I like it...

Hi John, yes Specials live seems the right chaotic environment for them...car got filthy driving to Devon and back!

I believe there is a chance of snow Rob, so it may be the time...

Drove to Devon and back for a betwixtmas break - car now filthy again!

Thanks Mike. As if it isn't hard enough running a small label, Keith certainly sets himself some artistic challenges with his releases...
Hi Dale. I thought about doing this but filming it in black and white. Then everything I show would qualify.
😂😂😂
I believe that is what is called cheating but nobody would ever accuse you of that Steve...
