Release
Curve released three critically acclaimed EPs – Blindfold, Frozen and Cherry – in the United Kingdom throughout 1991.[1][2] None of the tracks from these EPs were included on the band's 1992 debut studio album Doppelgänger, with the exception of "Clipped", which was added to the American pressing of the album. Released exclusively in the United States by Anxious Records and Charisma Records on 17 November 1992,[2][3][4] after Doppelgänger, Pubic Fruit compiles the three EPs, which had only been issued in the UK.[3][5] The compilation also includes the extended version of the Doppelgänger track "Faît Accompli" (first released as a single in 1992), which likewise had not yet been commercially released in the US.[2]
