Strange Fruit Records was an independent record label in the United Kingdom. The label, established by and John Peel in 1986, was the primary distributor of BBC recordings, including Peel Sessions. The name came from the song written by Abel Meeropol and famously performed by Billie Holiday, itself a reference to racially motivated lynchings. The label had the aim of generating sufficient revenue from recordings of 'big name' artists to allow the release of recordings by lesser-known artists. The label's first release was New Order's 1982 Peel Session, in July 1987, and was followed by sessions from some of the biggest names from the punk rock and post punk eras.

rdf:langString Strange Fruit Records was an independent record label in the United Kingdom. The label, established by and John Peel in 1986, was the primary distributor of BBC recordings, including Peel Sessions. The name came from the song written by Abel Meeropol and famously performed by Billie Holiday, itself a reference to racially motivated lynchings. The label had the aim of generating sufficient revenue from recordings of 'big name' artists to allow the release of recordings by lesser-known artists. The label's first release was New Order's 1982 Peel Session, in July 1987, and was followed by sessions from some of the biggest names from the punk rock and post punk eras. Recordings from as far back as the 1960s were also released by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. As well as individual sessions, the label also released albums compiling several sessions by the same artist. Strange Fruit was sufficiently successful that it spawned subsidiary labels including Nighttracks (sessions from radio One's Evening Show), Raw Fruit Records (concert recordings from the Reading Festival), and Band of Joy (BBC session recordings from the 1960s and 1970s). In 1994, Peel's BBC colleague Andy Kershaw started another subsidiary label, Strange Roots, which released session recordings by world music and roots artists from his radio show. Strange Fruit closed 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 an EP of New Order's first Peel session. Six months later John Peel died. Clive Selwood died in June 2020.

Era una divisione del gruppo ; si occupava anche di distribuire album pubblicati fuori dall'Inghilterra da altre etichette (come nel caso della canadese) e di ripubblicare album fuori stampa di vecchi artisti come Mott the Hoople e Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Tra gli artisti che si esibirono alle Peel Sessions si ricordano gruppi di fama mondiale come Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, New Order, Wire, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Uzeda. La Strange Fruit ebbe un tale successo da aprire delle etichette sussidiarie, tra le quali la Nighttracks, che pubblicava musica dell'Evening Show di BBC Radio One, la Raw Fruit Records, che pubblicava materiale live dei concerti del Festival di Reading, e la Band of Joy, che si occupava di registrazioni delle session alla BBC negli anni sessanta e settanta. Nel 1994, il collega di Peel alla BBC Andy Kershaw fondò una nuova sussidiaria della Strange Fruit, la Strange Roots, che pubblicava le registrazioni di world music e musica etnica effettuate nel proprio programma radiofonico. Nel 1996, la Pinnacle divenne una delle aziende dello Zomba Group of companies di proprietà della Sony Music, e la Strange Fruit fu chiusa quando la Sony si unì alla BMG nel 2004. L'ultimo album ad essere pubblicato fu una raccolta che riuniva tutte le apparizioni dei New Order nelle Peel Sessions, uscito sei mesi prima della morte di John Peel.

rdf:langString Strange Fruit Records is een onafhankelijk Brits platenlabel, in 1986 opgericht door diskjockey John Peel en zijn vriend Clive Selwood. Dit label werd vooral bekend door het op de markt brengen van de beroemde Peel Sessions. De naam van het label was ontleend aan het liedje "Strange Fruit" van , beroemd geworden door de uitvoering van Billie Holiday. Peel had jarenlang een radioprogramma voor de BBC, waarin regelmatig bekende en minder bekende bands en musici live optraden in de studio. Vanaf 1986 werden opnamen van dergelijke sessies op Strange Fruit Records uitgebracht. Het waren ep's waarop meestal vier liedjes stonden. De eerste uitgave was een plaat van de band New Order (een voortzetting van Joy Division na de dood van zanger Ian Curtis), met opnamen uit 1982. Daarna volgden veel sessies van grote punk- en postpunkbands. Onder de uitgebrachte platen waren ook albums met compilaties van meerdere sessies door dezelfde band. Verder verschenen op het label onder meer platen met liveopnamen uit de jaren zestig en zeventig en enkele compilaties met verschillende artiesten. Het label had tot doel om met platen van grote namen genoeg geld te verdienen om ook de openbaarmaking van werk van minder grote musici mogelijk te maken. Het label was echter zo succesvol, dat er enkele sublabels kwamen, zoals 'Nighttracks' (sessies van de Radio One's Evening Show), 'Raw Fruit' (concertopnamen van het ) en 'Band of Joy' (BBC-sessieopnamen uit de jaren zestig en zeventig). In 1994 startte Peels collega 'Strange Roots', een label voor sessieopnamen van wereldmuziekartiesten en rootsmusici gemaakt tijdens zijn radioprogramma. Strange Fruit was onderdeel van de Zomba Group en toen deze groep ondernemingen fuseerde met BMG sloot Strange Fruit de deuren, in 2004. Het laatste album was een plaat met de volledige Peel Sessions van New Order. Zes maanden later overleed Peel.
