Late 70s Jacksonville, Florida group Fruit were previously known to collectors and DJs alike by their solitary 7” release on the Cypress imprint, so this discovery of unheard tracks is a treat. Their warm, funky brand of indie disco absorbed influences from Jazz fusion to soul and tracks like ‘Space Lady’, ‘Life Is A Challenge’ and ‘Whatcha Gonna Do’ are energetic uptempo dancers. ‘Fruit Of The Universe’ is a great mid tempo boogie groover while the band stretch out on the soaring soul stepper ‘I Lost The Love I Thought I Had’. The urgent funk of ‘Say It’ from the 7” Single appears twice in studio and live form while ‘If You Feel It Say Yeah’ is also included. Good glimpse into the small output of this lively act that would otherwise have been lost forever.
