This album has been re-released due to demand and the fact

Velvett Fogg who are currently working on a new album,

Psychedelic Psoup
March 17, 2005
By Glenn G. Evans
Format:Audio CD Appearing in 1968, and disappearing just as quickly,
Velvett Fogg's only LP is a truly great, lost classic of British psychedelic music.
At it's best it features some imaginative guitar and organ workouts combined
with quirky and unusual lyrics and the band's covers of
'New York Mining Disaster' and 'Come Away Melinda'
add an eerie tone missing from the originals.
Fogg's own originals include the childlike 'Wizard of Gobsolod',
the haunting and somewhat dislocated 'Lady Caroline'
and the jazzy workout of 'Owed to the Dip'
but the tone of the album is set by the powerfully doom-laden opener,
'Yellow Cave Woman'.
It's a great record and it's rounded off with the inclusion of the band's only single,
a 68-style, special effect laden version of ' Telstar' -
the sleeve notes, by John Peel,
are a remarkable 1968 artifact in their own right

"I liked the wierd harmony singing on Yellow Cave Woman
and the Oriental-sounding effects on Wizard of Gobsolod"

Record Mirror
February 15th.1969.
Another underground group
favoured by John Peel
who again writes the sleeve notes.
A four strong group
with a couple of nudie birds
added to the aggregation
for the front picture
" Favourite tracks are, 'Once Among the Trees,
with sexy undertones and overtones- come to that
Yellow Cave Woman
a very long opening tack and the Bee Gees'
"Mining Disaster"
which is far from disastrous done this way round
Something of interest all the way round
from this Fogg
Reviews
Yellow Cave Woman
In my opinion it is still
one of THE very best rock songs ever recorded.
Robin S-YouTube
"Probably the best psych/prog song from the late 60's."

"This is one of the most druggy songs I've ever heard,
and is an absolute cert in my record collection".

"in my record cellection....jupp"
Byggavdelningen- YouTube
awesome!
NWOBHM87- YouTube
"I do sense a relation to Black Sabbath-
kind of explains the origins of their sound-
even though Iommi is not on this recording-
his influence must've stayed with
Velvet Fogg at this time"

"The music and the body painting are both great!"

Once Among The Trees
Such a beautiful and creative, a psychedelic rock band who,
inevitably arrive somewhere 70's like he never existed, but Velvet Fogg.
perhaps less so beloved by the early years of the hippie generation,
until the invention of the internet is completely forgotten.
This way, you know, very few people on the coast psychedelic rock band
to listen to bi left corner is very exciting.
