Fresh Fruit in Foreign Places is the second album by Kid Creole and the Coconuts, released in 1981.
[1] Fresh Fruit in Foreign Places is a concept album in the form of a musical travelogue.
Describing the album's concept to The New York Times, band leader August Darnell said: One way of looking at the journey Kid Creole undertakes on the record is as a justification of the many strains that coexist in our music.
[2]Fresh Fruit in Foreign Places was reissued in 2002 by Universal Island Records with 12" mixes of "Table Manners" and "Que Pasa / Me No Pop I" (although the latter is not the full version; it has been edited down from 7:11 to 6:18).
The album replaced the original mix of "Dear Addy" with the 1982 single remix.
