Strange Fruit- The Beatles’ Apple Records is the story of a record label which came to exist under extraordinary circumstances, produced extraordinary records and was operated under extraordinary guidelines.
Although Apple Records released albums by The Beatles, the company also signed top international talent, including James Taylor, Mary Hopkin, Billy Preston, The Modern Jazz Quartet and The Iveys (who later became Badfinger).
Strange Fruit: The Beatles’ Apple Records features new interviews with former label Managing Director Tony Bramwell, members of Badfinger, The Iveys and Elephant’s Memory, Jackie Lomax, Brute Force and David Peel, plus musician and Beatles expert Chris Ingham, author and journalist Mark Paytress and Apple biographer Stefan Granados.
The film also includes archive footage of Apple artists and the organization for which they recorded as well as interviews from the vaults, location film, rare photographs and of course, the music upon which the label made its name.
