Previously released on 2CD by Sunbeam, this double LP set marks the long-overdue first vinyl reissue of Gary Farr's classic 1969 solo debut -- one of the best and rarest singer-songwriter albums to emerge from the UK underground. Having torn up innumerable R&B clubs with the T-Bones, by the late 1960s, Farr had gone in a more pastoral, progressive direction. A superb set of reflective, acid-tinged ballads, the album finds his soulful voice ably backed by his 12-string guitar and supporting musicians including members of Mighty Baby and Blossom Toes, as well as Meic Stevens. It's presented here in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, together with a plethora of non-LP 45s and previously-unheard demos, as well as historical liner notes, rare photographs and personal memoirs from Meic Stevens and Farr's long-term partner, Carinthia West.

"Gary Farr's long-lost classic folk rock album, now 24-bit remastered from the original master tapes with bonus track. Strange Fruit is a great undiscovered work of the acoustic rock/classic rock genres, cited by some as a minor masterpiece. In the late '60s, Gary Farr made the transition from leader of R&B outfit The T-Bones to a noted singer-songwriter. Recording an album for Marmalade Records, Farr then signed to CBS Records in 1970, recording this sole album for the label. Sessions featured contributions from Richard Thompson on lead guitar and leading lights of the underground Mighty Baby. Unavailable on CD for many years, Strange Fruit is a record made by an often-overlooked singer-songwriter made available once more by Esoteric Recordings and is certain to appeal to all who adore acoustic music both melancholic and uplifting. The reissue also features the first-ever CD appearance of the single edit of 'Revolution of the Season.'"
