Velvett Fogg are A cult British Psychedelic band . Tony Iommi was A member in mid-1968, but soon left To BLACK SABBATH . Their loneeponymous album was released in January 1969.

Velvett Fogg were One of The undergroundscene, that were formed at The end of 1960s that would attempt To take pop MUSICTo A higher level of creativity. Birmingham also had its own flourishing underground MUSIC scene during that Time A variety of innovative groups emerging. The line up of Velvett Fogg all CAME FROM MUSIC scene in The City.
Velvett Fogg were formed in 1968 From members of A Birmingham bandGRAVY TRAIN . Up front was soul singer Ernie Handy, Bob Hewitt was lead guitarist, with Graham Mullett On drums, and Mick Pollard On bass guitar. Londoner Frank Wilson who played Hammond organ, was also On vocals, eventually becoming band leader and lead vocalist. The newly formed band spent most of The year touring Germany playing at army bases and clubs. Their stage act included A light show and A Go-Go dancer.

On their return To Birmingham, The band , now managed by an agency called Inter City Artists, were given A record deal by Jack Dorsey of Pye Records . It was also A Time The more unusual or controversial Aband what, then The greater chance there would be FOR success in The record business. The record label was looking To sign unusual underground MUSIC To , in Jack Dorsey's words, "develop an image that would make PEOPLE think You would piss OnThe pope! "(Keith Law).
The initial line-up of Velvett Fogg featured guitarist Tony Iommi (later To The big Time with BLACK SABBATH ). I was in The line-up FOR One gig before he left To be replaced temporarily by Ian Leighton. Leighton was " A great blues guitarist," said HIS friend Frank Wilson. It was during this Time that Pye Records A photo shoot ofThebandFORThe cover of their proposed First Album .
Before recording could begin in late 1968, Ian Leighton left The band A cousin of Iommi). Paul Eastment contributed original compositions FOR The album, as did Frank Wilson, Graham Mullet and Mick Pollard.
Velvett Fogg Recorded The FOR their debut album On Pye Records under The direction of Jack Dorsey. Apparently, Dorsey aimed To get The band onto The then-popular progressive band wagon. "I was A classically trained pianist but we all had To play way below our capabilities," says Frank Wilson. The band were also allowed To record covers of A few songs they liked and these included psychedelic-sounding versions of New York Mining Disaster 1941 by The Bee Gees and Tim Rose's Come Away Melinda.

Original songs FOR The A local who became A FriendofTheband . A veteran of The MUSIC scene, Law played with such groups as The Williamsons, LOVE and Understanding, Paint, and Jardine. In HIS initial writing sessions with The band Law came up with " YELLOW Cave Woman "," Once Among The Trees "and" Within ' Thenight ".

Velvett Fogg's self-titled album was released On The Pye label in January 1969. By far The most controversial feature of The album was its record cover which displayed The pre-Paul Eastment line-up ofTheband wearing garish make-up / body-paint and costume, but also included Two well-endowed young women wearing nothing but strategically applied body paint. This politically incorrectpackage was accompanied by A typically obscure sleevenote by The PEEL who commented that "there is A lot of good MUSICOn this record. Remember Velvett Fogg - You will hear The name again. "

Along with The Velvett Fogg album, Pye Records A single by The group. It was A cover of The Tornados' instrumental, "Telstar", which was Recorded at The request of Jack Dorsey, who hoped To cash in On The publicity surrounding The American MOON landings taking place at that Time .

While receiving some radio play, The record did not sell enough Copies To chart and A big advertising campaign planned by The record company To promote The album never materialized. The band did some touring after The single came out. Perhaps discouraged by poor sales of The To loose interest in Theband so withdrew their backing. In The autumn of The group disbanded with The members going their separate ways. Frank Wilson says "I personally thought The First The best and most satisfying. "

Frank Wilson returned To London and joined Riot Squad and then The band before following in Rick Wakeman's footsteps To join WARHORSE in 1970.
Paul Eastment started A Brum band To become ghost, with whom he RecordedA couple of albums. He later fronted another group called Resurrection, as well as recording with local folk singer Shirley Kent.

During The years since Velvett Fogg's demise, demand amongst collectors FOR Copiesof their (now very rare) album has increased considerably. Original albums have changed hands FOR high prices with bootleg Copies To be in circulation. Re-issued in 2002 The Sanctuary Records The album officially FORTheFirstTimeOn CD (CMRCD619).
Keith Law stayed in The MUSIC STILL writing songs, and is now an entertainer in South West England. Frank Wilson, now performs with HIS band Run VT, and performs at venues in South East England. Keith Law and Frank Wilson are back together writing as Velvett Fogg Reloaded, and recording FOR A proposed new Velvett Fogg album. (wikipedia.org)
