New Fruit From Old Seeds: The Rare Sky Saxon Volume One
New Fruit From Old Seeds — The Rare Sky Saxon Volume One was released in 1983 by Archive International Productions (AIP) of Hollywood, and was a compilation of early Sky Saxon solo songs and tracks from The Seeds' final three singles of 1970-2. Its track listing is similar to Bad Part Of Town, another 1983 Seeds rarities compilation, though it does contain one song not available anywhere else before or since: a live version of "A Thousand Shadows" from The Joey Bishop Show by The Seeds, 1967. As for the early 1960s pre-Seeds Sky Saxon songs, New Fruit From Old Seeds includes both 1962 Ritchie Marsh sides, "They Say" b/w "Darling I Swear That It's True"; both Sky Saxon and The Soul-Rockers songs from 1964, "Go Ahead And Cry" b/w "They Say" (re-recorded version); and both of the other 1964 sides, "Do The Swim" b/w "Trouble With My Baby" by Sky Saxon and The Electra-Fires. (The Soul-Rockers' version of "They Say" is the only song on New Fruit From Old Seeds not also appearing on Bad Part Of Town — "Darling I Swear That It's True" was not on that LP but is on the CD version.) All six songs released by Sky Saxon's final versions of The
