Tony Iommi was A member in mid-1968, but soon left ToBLACK SABBATH . Their loneeponymous album was released in January 1969. Velvett Fogg were One ofThe underground scene, that were formed atThe endof 1960s that would attemptTo take popMUSICTo A higher levelof creativity. Birmingham also had its own flourishing underground MUSIC scene during that TimeA varietyof innovative groups emerging. The line up of Velvett Fogg all CAME FROMMUSIC scene inThe City. Velvett Fogg were formed in 1968 From members ofA BirminghambandGRAVY TRAIN . Up front was soul singer 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, was also On vocals, eventually becoming band leader and lead vocalist. The newly formed band spent most ofThe year touring Germany playing at army bases and clubs. Their stage act included A light show and A Go-Go dancer. On their return To Birmingham, Theband , now managed by an agency called Inter City Artists, were givenA record deal by Jack Dorseyof pyeRecords . It was also A TimeThe more unusual or controversialAband what, thenThe greater chance there would beFOR success inThe record business. The record label was looking To sign unusual underground MUSICTo , in Jack Dorsey's words, "develop an image that would makePEOPLE thinkYou would pissOnThe Pope!" (Keith Law). The initial line-up of Velvett Fogg features guitarist Tony Iommi (later ToThe bigTime withBLACK SABBATH ). Iommi was in The line-up FOROne gig before he leftTo be temporarily replaced by Ian Leighton. Leighton was " A great blues guitarist", said HIS friend Frank Wilson. It was during this Time that Pye RecordsA photo shootofThebandFORThe cover of their proposedFirst Album . Before recording could begin in late 1968, Ian Leighton left The bandA cousinof Iommi). Paul Eastment contributed original compositions FOR The album, as did Frank Wilson, Graham Mullet and Mick Pollard. Velvett Fogg Recorded TheFOR their debut albumOn pyeRecords underThe directionof Jack Dorsey. Apparently, Dorsey aimed To get Theband ontoThe then-popular progressiveband wagon. "I was A classically trained pianist but we all had To play way below our capabilities" says Frank Wilson. The band were also allowed To record covers ofA few songs they liked and these included psychedelic-sounding versionsof New York Mining Disaster 1941 byThe Bee Gees and Tim Rose's Come Away Melinda. Original songs FOR TheA local who becameA FriendofTheband . A veterans of TheMUSIC scene, Law played with such groups asThe williamson,LOVE and Understanding, Paint, and Jardine. In HIS initial writing sessions with Theband Law came up with "YELLOW CaveWoman ", "Once AmongThe Trees" and "Within'Thenight ". Velvett Fogg's self-titled album was released On The Pye label in January 1969. By far The most controversial feature ofThe album was its record cover which displayedThe pre-Paul Eastment line-upofTheband wearing garish make-up/body-paint and costume, but also includedTwo well-endowed young women wearing nothing but strategically applied body paint. This politically incorrect package was accompanied by A typically obscure sleeve note by ThePEEL who commented that "there isA lotof goodMUSICOn this record. Remember Velvett Fogg - You will hear The name again." Along with The Velvett Fogg album, Pye RecordsA single byThe group. It was A cover ofThe Tornados' instrumental, "Telstar", which wasRecorded atThe requestof Jack Dorsey, who hopedTo cash inOn The publicity surroundingThe AmericanMOON landings taking place at thatTime . While receiving some radio play, The record did not sell enough CopiesTo chart andA big advertising campaign planned byThe record companyTo promoteThe album never materialised. The band did some touring after The single came out. Perhaps discouraged by poor sales of TheTo loose interest inTheband so withdrew their backing. In The autumn ofThe group disbanded withThe members going their separate ways. Frank Wilson says "I personally thought The FirstThe best and most satisfying." Frank Wilson returned To London and joined Riot Squad and then Theband before following in Rick Wakeman's footstepsTo joinWARHORSE in 1970. Paul Eastment started A Brum bandTo become Ghost, with whom heRecordedA coupleof albums. He later fronted another group called Resurrection, as well as recording with local folk singer Shirley Kent.
