Pubic Fruit is a compilation album by British alternative rock band Curve.[1] The album contains the band's first three EPs and an extended mix of the track "Faît Accompli".
Release
Curve released three critically acclaimed and increasingly successful EPs – Blindfold, Frozen and Cherry – in the United Kingdom throughout 1991. None of these EPs' songs were included on the band's debut studio album, Doppelgänger, with the exception of "Clipped", which was added to the United States pressing of the album. Pubic Fruit was released shortly after Doppelgänger to collect together the EPs. The album also included an extended version of the track "Faît Accompli" from Doppelgänger. The compilation was only officially released in the United States, though it has been widely exported and is now the easiest way to acquire Curve's earliest releases.
