| Song |
"Fruit Machine" is the second official single released by Salford band The Ting Tings in 2007. The single was limited to a 500-copy run.[1]
The vinyl was only available for fans of The Ting Tings to buy at their live shows. Every single released had different cover art. This is because at every concert, a hundred blank seven-inch sleeves were pinned to a wall, making a canvas on which fans could create an overall piece of artwork that, once dismantled, were used as the sleeves for the singles.[1][2] The making of the sleeves was also filmed and then shown in real time at each consecutive venue.
The song has a short guitar solo by vocalist and guitarist Katie White. Tremolo picking and distortion are used.
Re-release
The song was to receive its full UK release on 9 February 2009,[3] it however was cancelled a week before its released date, being removed from every retailers database.[4] Two weeks later though, their next single would be released, "We Walk". "Fruit Machine" had already charted on the Australian club chart at 37.
