THE FOX"For Fox Sake"(Sommor SOMM054)
Brand new limited edition vinyl LP—the first ever vinyl reissue with original UK artwork!
Originally released in 1970 but sounding more akin to '67–'68, "For Fox Sake" is a superb example of UK psych, highly recommended if you’re into APPLE, KOOBAS, ZOMBIES, OCTOPUS, SKIP BIFFERTY, the RUBBLE series...
Formed in Brighton in 1968 with roots to the mod–soul scene, The Fox consisted of Steve Brayne on lead guitar & vocals, Winston Weatherill (ex–Gary Farr & The T–Bones) on lead guitar & sitar, Alex Lane on keyboards & vocals, Tim Reeves on drums and Dave Windross on bass. During their brief existence they supported The Herd and opened for David Bowie. Their sound was loud and righteous with great vocal harmonies, a tight rhythm section and wonderful keyboard /guitar solos. After getting signed to a London management company, they recorded their only LP in one session, released in the UK on the Fontana label and in Canada and the US on Crewe, featuring a different cover. Sadly, the band broke up the following year and since the inclusion of "Butterfly" on "The 49 Minute Technicolour Dream" (one of the Rubble comps) in 1984, they’ve become a cult group among psych collectors.
"Shed a tear for what might have been, play the album and play it LOUD! 49 years later, I hope you enjoy the echoes of the time. For Fox Sake!" – Steve Brayne (The Fox)
Top quality remastered sound, factory-sealed from new with insert with photos / memorabilia plus liner notes by Steve Brayne.
