Rock'n'roll revivalists FUMBLE have their complete recordings compiled on a new box set.
Formed in Weston-super-Mare in 1967, the band were regulars on the pub and college circuit in the early 70s, releasing a pair of major label albums - Fumble and Poetry In Lotion - with memorable Hipgnosis sleeves (the latter photographed by Throbbing Gristle's Peter 'Sleazey' Christopherson).
The band were recruited by David Bowie as support on two separate tours, inculding the US Ziggy Stardust jaunt, and keyboard-player Sean Mayes was later co-opted by Bowie for the 1978 Isolar II tour, documented on Stage, and also for the '79 album Lodger.
The band also featured alongside Shakin' Stevens in the West End production of Elvis! The Musical and the remake of the 50s TV show Oh Boy!
Over four CDs, Not Fade Away: The Complete Recordings 1964 - 1982 features both Fumble's original albums plus the '79 'official bootleg' live album Rumble With Fumble and their final release, the Germany-only It's Only A Rock'n'Roll Game from '82. The set is rounded out with tracks from Elvis! and Oh Boy!, stand alone singles, album outtakes, a BBC session and tracks by mid-60s Fumble precursor, The Iveys.
Set for release by Cherry Red on 27 November, Not Fade Away is available to pre-order here.
