Grapefruit was a British band that emerged during the late 1960s, at the height of the psychedelic pop era, and offered a mixture of sunny harmonies, catchy hooks, and innovative orchestration. The band saw its inception in London and quickly gained a reputation for their vibrant sound and creative songwriting. They were named by none other than John Lennon and received early support from the Beatles' Apple Publishing, which speaks volumes about their potential at the time. "Grapefruit" and the remastered "Around Grapefruit" reflect the band's initial sound, capturing the optimistic vibe of the era that birthed them.

The band's body of work, spanning from their heady psychedelic inception, is showcased through albums like "Yesterday's Sunshine: The Complete 1967-1968 London Sessions," which encapsulates their formative years and includes essential tracks that define Grapefruit's contribution to the genre. Progressing through their discography, records like "Deep Water" and its remastered version offer a deep dive into their evolving sound, which managed to encapsulate the shifting musical landscape while maintaining their unique identity. In a nod to their enduring appeal and adaptability, "Punk Party Series, Vol. 2 (Live)," "Recorded Live in Hawaii and California," and "KTUH FM" provide a glimpse of Grapefruit's raw live energy and their capacity to connect with audiences, demonstrating their versatility and staying power in the ever-changing world of music. Despite their brief initial run, the reissues and compilations, such as "Light Fronds" and "Knights Temple," have helped to introduce Grapefruit's seminal sound to a new generation of listeners, securing their place in the pantheon of bands that captured the spirit of the late '60s and continued to influence rock and psychedelic pop for years to come.
