Strange Fruit Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strange Fruit Records is an independent record label in the United Kingdom. It is a division of Pinnacle Entertainment Limited.
The label, established by John Peel in the 1980s, is the primary distributor of BBC concert recordings, including Peel Sessions albums.
Strange Fruit also licenses albums released on other labels, such as Latent Records in Canada, for release in the UK, and re-releases older out-of-print albums by British classic rock artists such as Small Faces, Mott the Hoople, Humble Pie, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
It is possible that the name came from the song written by Abel Meeropol and famously performed by Billie Holiday, itself a reference to racially motivated lynchings.
