MR FOX
‘The Gypsy’ Lp
Rare Original 1st Issue 1971 UK Stereo Lp Housed In A Gatefold Sleeve.
Mr. Fox's second and final album was lively British folk-rock from the halcyon days of that genre. They lacked the one or two vocal or instrumental personalities that would have lifted them to the Fairport Convention/Steeleye Span/Pentangle level, but anyone who likes the early 1970s recordings of those bands will like this too. The group really shone when they favored the moodiest material and let a spooky drone come to the fore, as on the lengthy opener, "Mendle," where the unnervingly shrill organ and Carole Pegg's vocals established an uneasy yet seductive atmosphere. It should be said, though, that it was an admirably diverse album as well, with sparsely arranged numbers that sound much like gypsies of centuries-old vintage, more straightforward and modern folk-rock treatments of traditional songs, and the upbeat finale "All the Good Times," where the Gridley Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra join in on the chorus.
The Lp Was Released On The White With Plum Text ‘Transatlantic’ Label (TRA 236) And Comes To Ebay In Ex+/Ex Condition.(The Centre Perspex Inner Gatefold Is Loose But Could Easily Restuck: See Second Photo)
