Bizarre Fruit II is a reissued and expanded version of British band M People`s 1994 Bizarre Fruit album, with the single versions of `Search for the Hero` and `Love Rendezvous` in place of the originals, and including the band`s cover of the Small Faces` `Itchycoo Park`. It was initially released as a limited edition with a bonus Live and Remixed CD or cassette. The Live and Remixed disc contains live versions of tracks from Bizarre Fruit and M People`s previous two albums, Northern Soul and Elegant Slumming. The live tracks were recorded at GMEX in Manchester on 16 December 1994, except `Search for the Hero` which was recorded at Grosse Freiheit in Hamburg on 26 February 1995.

Bizarre Fruit II was later released as a single CD replacing the original Bizarre Fruit album. Confusingly, later editions of this single-disc version bear the title Bizarre Fruit, although the cover art remains the same as the initial Bizarre Fruit II release.

Critical reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, `The British have a way with mixing dance, funk and soul elements into brand new styles. Like Tricky and Massive Attack, M People have developed their own thang, which is based on stark electronic rhythms and the gloriously soulful vocals of Heather Small. M People have successfully put their hands on the Small Faces` `Itchycoo Park`, currently a new entry in the EHR Top 40, but they certainly don`t shy away from disco-inspired basslines and rhythm guitars.`[1]
