The Fox - For Fox Sake Vol. 1 (1970 UK) | Psychedelic Rock / Prog Rock | Vinyl Rip

This is The Fox, released in 1970 in the US on Crewe Records (CR 1336). This is an original stereo All Disc pressing. Formed in Brighton, England, The Fox brought together a seasoned lineup of local musicians who tracked their entire collective repertoire during a single, extended continuous demo session. The technical architecture of this recording highlights a raw intersection between science and music, relying on primitive multi-track routing and natural tape saturation to capture the intense dynamic contrast between Winston Weatherill's overdriven guitar work and Alex Lane's heavy Hammond organ textures. The album takes late-60s pop-psych and pushes it directly into early progressive rock territories. While tracks like "Mr. Blank" and "Birthday Card" retain a colorful, melodic 1967 sunshine-psych vibe, the band frequently dips into darker, organ-driven arrangements and experimental instrumentation, including Weatherill's intricate, fluid sitar leads. Originally licensed to Fontana for its UK release, the band's management team secured a US distribution deal with legendary pop producer Bob Crewe. Crewe completely overhauled the original cover art and appended "Vol. 1" to the title for the North American market, making this specific All Disc pressing a highly sought-after and unique artifact of underground British psych history. 🎧 This is a full vinyl rip from my original All Disc pressing. 🔥 Standout tracks include Butterfly Look In The Sky Man In A Fast Car Madame Magical 🎸 Sounds like: The Moody Blues The Gods Caravan Spooky Tooth TRACKLIST 00:00 Secondhand Love 03:17 Lovely Day 06:47 As She Walks Away 12:22 Glad I Could 15:27 Butterfly 18:54 Look In The Sky 22:46 Goodtime Music 25:38 Mr. Blank 29:04 Man In A Fast Car 32:08 Birthday Card 36:27 Madame Magical 🎧 Vinyl Finds Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9oSXuMGglp1N8SlbZUEtCJ7 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ I sell my doubles and extras here: https://vinylpipershop.com/be.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn #vinylrip #thefox #forfoxsake #1970vinyl #psychedelicrock #progressiverock #vinylpiper #crewerecords #heavypsych #brightonrock #rarevinyl #vinylcommunity #psych
