Artist:  Various Artists

Title:  Fruity

Date:  1972

Label:  Warner Bros. Records   K26006

Cover Design:  Atellergesellschaft

Art Direction:  Roland Schmidt, Wolfgang Schuch

Notes:  Here's a clever cover from England featuring an eclectic collection of artists and songs. According to a cover blurb this is, "The New Age of Warner Bros./Reprise" and it consists of some old favs like the Dead and Faces, Van Morrison, but there's also some interesting choices like Curved Air and Malo. This appears to be an early seventies promo record touting their roster of rootsy musical talent. The round cover doesn't open, but allows the record to slip in from the top. Interesting find.
