Farryl Purkiss Releases Special Edition of Fruitbats & Crows

The Special Edition of one of Farryl Purkiss' most successful albums to date, Fruitbats & Crows is out now!

Since the release of Fruitbats & Crows, the album has generated three major radio hit singles with A Million Grains Of Sand, Kissing Devils On The Cheek and Creeping Up On Me doing incredibly well on South African radio and Brian O'Shea winning the the 2010 SAMA for Best Producer for his work on Fruitbats & Crows.


2011 kicked off with a bang for Farryl Purkiss after the single Pennies In The Snow aired on major US TV series Private Practice on international TV screens in January. Pennies In The Snow was heard on episode 11 of Season 4 which still has to air on South African TV.

What makes the Special Edition so, uhm... special, is that the tracks on the bonus disc are special versions and new songs that have never been available before. In Apostrophes is an acoustic version of a brand new song for the next studio album and Monkeys' Wedding Live has become a fan favourite at live shows and differs vastly from the album version of Monkeys' Wedding. The piano mix of Sticks & Stones was the version used on Private Practice's fifth episode of Season 3 and is finally available to fans who've been wanting it since it featured on the series. Number Seven never made the final track listing when Fruitbats & Crows was released and is now available on the bonus disc as the only instrumental song on the album. The release also includes Farryl's stunning versions of the Bob Dylan track Positively 4th Street and the classic New Order hit Blue Monday.
