"Fruit Machine" is the second official single released by Salford band The Ting Tings in 2007. The single was limited to a 500-copy run.[1]
The vinyl was only available for fans of The Ting Tings to buy at their live shows. Every single released had different cover art. This is because at every concert, a hundred blank seven-inch sleeves were pinned to a wall, making a canvas on which fans could create an overall piece of artwork that, once dismantled, were used as the sleeves for the singles.[1][2] The making of the sleeves was also filmed and then shown in real time at each consecutive venue.
The song has a short guitar solo by vocalist and guitarist Katie White. Tremolo picking and distortion are used.
