I have a few of their tracks spread across some comps. Nice to have all their stuff in one place.

This was posted to coincide with the album, although it might not be the exact same audio that appears on the disc. The watermarking gets in the way a bit, but it's still a historic piece -- an unreleased colour promo film for "Dear Delilah" made by Grapefruit in 1968:
