Includes both albums, alternative mix\/non-LP singles and the restoration of two brief tracks only included on original 8-track release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the demise of Curt Boettcher’s late 60s project The Millennium, gifted singer and songwriter Michael Fennelly joined forces with LA club band Stonehenge to form \u003cstrong\u003eCrabby Appleton\u003c\/strong\u003e. Signed to Elektra, they made their debut with the glorious ‘\u003cem\u003eGo Back\u003c\/em\u003e’, a hit single that married a mid-60s pop sensibility with early 70s studio advances to stand as a proto-power pop classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA slightly different mix of the track featured on their self-titled debut album, which attracted rave reviews from the underground press and sold reasonably well. But the band were unable to follow ‘\u003cem\u003eGo Back\u003c\/em\u003e’ with another hit single, and after second album ‘\u003cem\u003eRotten To The Core!\u003c\/em\u003e’ made little impact, they disintegrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first-ever complete compilation of the band’s work, \u003cem\u003eGo Back: The Crabby Appleton Anthology\u003c\/em\u003e includes both albums and a raft of singles (including rare mono mixes and non-LP tracks) as well as two miniature tracks that were only included on the first album’s 8-track release and are therefore making their first digital appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a new 5000 word essay on the band, and housed in a stylish digipak, \u003cem\u003eGo Back\u003c\/em\u003e is the definite document of a fine group that deserve to be remembered as far more than one-hit wonders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapefruit","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50490164576587,"sku":"2029700","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Crabby-Appleton-jpeg_36c701d1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727653569","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/go-back-the-crabby-appleton-anthology","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
