The new film focuses on the history of Apple Records

Published 15th Mar 2012

Music-News.com reports that Strange Fruit: The Beatles' Apple Records is released next month and it features interviews and archival footage with not only the Fab Four but also many of the artists who worked with the company including Jackie Lomax and members of Badfinger, Elephant's Memory and others.

Here's the synopsis:

"In 1968, under a haze of publicity, The Beatles opened their collective door to all manner of musicians, writers, artists, filmmakers, inventors, designers, freaks and more than their fair share of opportunist sharks. But despite a hefty investment, little of substance was forthcoming outside of the music that emerged from one division of the potential empire; Apple Records. Strange Fruit: The Beatles' Apple Records is the story of a record label which came to exist under extraordinary circumstances, produced some extraordinary records and was operated under the most extraordinary guidelines."
