Velvett Fogg are a cult British psychedelic rock band. Tony Iommi was a member in mid-1968, but soon left to form Black Sabbath. Their lone eponymous album was released in January 1969.
Velvett Fogg were one of many new bands within the undergroundscene that were formed at the end of the 1960s that would attempt to take pop music to a higher level of creativity. Birmingham thus had its own flourishing underground music scene during that time with a variety of innovative groups emerging. The line up of Velvett Fogg all came from within this alternative music scene in the city.
Velvett Fogg were formed in 1968 from members of a Birmingham band Gravy Train. 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, which means on vocals, eventually becoming band leader and lead vocalist. The newly formed band spent most of the year touring Germany at Army bases and clubs. Their stage act included a light show and a go-go dancer.
On their return to Birmingham, they were released by Jack Dorsey of Pye Records. It was also a time when it seemed that more unusual or controversial a band, then the greater chance there would be for success in the record business. Velvett Fogg were told to, in Jack Dorsey's words, "develop an image that would make people think you would piss on the pope!" (Keith Law).
The initial line-up of Velvett Fogg featured guitarist Tony Iommi (later to make the big time with Black Sabbath). Iommi was in the line-up for only one gig before he left to be temporarily replaced by Ian Leighton. Leighton was "a great blues guitarist," said his friend Frank Wilson. It was during this time that Pye Records arranged a photo-shoot of the new album.
Ian Leighton left recording the tape and was replaced by guitarist / vocalist Paul Eastment (a cousin of Iommi). Paul Eastment contributed original compositions for the album, as did Frank Wilson, Graham Mullet and Mick Pollard.
Velvett Fogg restrings the tracks 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 do with our capabilities," says Frank Wilson. The New York Mining Disaster 1941 by The Bee Gees and Tim Rose's Come Away Melinda.
Original songs for the Velvett Fogg album were published by Keith Law, a local who became a friend of the band. A veteran of the West Midlands music scene, Law played with The Williamsons, Love and Understanding, Paint, and Jardine. In his initial writing session with the band Law came up with "Yellow Cave Woman", "Once Among The Trees" and "Within 'The Night".
Velvett Fogg's self-titled album was released on the Pye label in January 1969. By the very most controversial feature of the album, which was published in the pre-Paul Eastment's line-up of the garish makeup / body- paint and costume, but also included two well-endowed young women wearing nothing but strategically applied body paint. John Peel who remarks that "there's a lot of good music on this record." Remember Velvett Fogg - you'll hear the name again. "
Along with the Velvett Fogg album, so Pye Records released a single by the group. It's a cover of The Tornadoes' instrumental, "Telstar", which was curtingsd at the request of Jack Dorsey, who hoped to cash in on the publicity surrounding the American moon landing at that time.
While receiving some radio play, the record is not materialized and a big advertising campaign. The band did some touring after the single came out. Perhaps discouraged by poor sales of the album, Pye seemed to loose interest in the band so withdrew their backing. In the autumn of 1969 the group disbanded with their members going their separate ways. Frank Wilson says "I thought the first line-up in Germany was the best and most satisfying."
Frank Wilson returned to London and joined Riot Squad and then The Rumble Band before following Rick Wakeman's footsteps to join Warhorse in 1970.
Holy Ghost - later to become Ghost, with whom he restringsd a couple of albums. He later became another group called Resurrection, as well as recording with local folk singer Shirley Kent.
During the years since Velvett Fogg's Demise, Demand for their copies of their rare album has been published. Original albums have changed hands for high prices with bootleg copies so known to be in circulation. In 2002 the Sanctuary Records Group re-issued the album officially for the first time on CD (CMRCD619).
Keith Law stayed in the music business, is still writing songs, and is now an entertainer in South West England. Frank Wilson, now performing with his band Run VT, performs at venues in South East England. Keith Law and Frank Wilson are back together writing as Velvett Fogg Reloaded, and recording for a new proposed Velvett Fogg album. (Wikipedia.org)
