SIGHTS
a photographic history of Fruits de Mer

yes, it's just a bunch of random inserts, cuttings and photos we've cobbled together
..hover over the images for a bit of background on each one
(or don't, it's your life)  

Keep Off The Grass Festival - Bill from King Penguin meets Jordi from Stay meets Sky Picnic
when we do an album, we don't mess about - the roqueting centrefold
a 'Do Not Adjust Your Set' cover idea that didn't make the cut
Jeff Cummins' stunning image for The Flaming Gnomes' cover
ok, so a blue vinyl copy of the Mark Fry single already fetches $40 on ebay, so what's a one-off orange copy worth???
...meawhile, an Us&Them icy-white single melts to a fetching shade of blue - another FdM one-off
A David Attenborough moment - Vibravoid's 'What Colour Is Pink'? emerges from its black vinyl chrysalis
the lesser-spotted red Vibravoid Krautrock Sensation ep - only 100 pressed - a copy recently sold on ebay for $60
Godfather of Prog, Geoff Barton from Classic Rock kindly donated this photo - unfortunately saved by me under the title, 'geoff bartons crabs' - sorry Geoff!
Alison's signed photo - free with her single back in 2008
ho ho ho - a witty caption to a Stay publicity shot
our very first insert - a recipe for whelk soup and a photo of my fiancee Liz
another record store that doesn't stock FdM releases
you're never along with 7 inches
a trip back in time and a touch of the crabs - a free postcard with our 2011 Annual
The Fruits de Mer Annual 'Miracle Fish' - an exciting, valuable and suitably rocky freebie with all copies
the missus making a bid for X Factor - a little while ago
Mrs J a few years later - why aren't all record fairs staged here?
who else remembers?
free A3 poster with a random 60 copies of the Us and Them ep
Octopus Syng (see 'Keep Off The Grass'
Zombies Of The Stratosphere (see 'Keep Off The Grass')
David Attenborough eat your heart out
some days i seem to have a lot of time on my hands
...and i mean a lot
Zombies Of The Stratosphere (see 'Keep Off The Grass')
'Brian Langan's cool A3 poster/insert - free with early copies of 'A Phase We're Going Through'
subtlety would be our middle name - but we're not too sure about spelling it
half of our 2012 annual - pure gold
...and the other half - liquid silver (ok vinyl)
