- Strange Fruit Records
Strange Fruit Records was
independent record label in theUnited Kingdom .The label, established by
Clive Selwood andJohn Peel in1986 , was the primary distributor of BBC concert recordings, includingPeel Sessions albums.The name came from the song written by
Abel Meeropol and famously performed byBillie Holiday , itself a reference to racially motivated lynchings.Strange Fruit closed its doors in 2004. It was part of the Zomba Group of companies and was shut down when the label merged with BMG. The last release the label put together was an album of New Order's complete Peel Sessions, fitting seeing as the first release that came out was and EP of New Order's first Peel session. 6 months later John Peel died.
