Originally released on the Transatlantic label in 1970 and 1971 respectively, this 2 on 1 includes Mr Fox and The Gipsy, the only two albums by the Yorkshire folk group.
Mr Fox were an early 1970s electric folk or folk rock band. They were seen as in the ‘second generation’ of electric folk performers and for a time were compared with Steeleye Span and Sandy Denny’s Fotheringay. Unlike Steeleye Span they mainly wrote their own material in a traditional style and developed a distinct ‘northern’ variant of the genre. They demonstrate the impact and diversity of the electric folk movement and the members went on to pursue significant careers within the electric folk and traditional music genres after they disbanded in 1972 having recording two highly regarded albums.

THANKS for the alternate links!
Wow!
I wasn't the anonymous that asked for alternate links - but I'm impressed you did so.
Thanks!
I agree with all of my(!) namesakes - thank you for alternates!
Many, many thanks!
wow rapidshare became such a turn off, thank you truly for making this more convenient for the rest of us!
Another mous says Thank You - for some really great music and, now, for these alternative download links. Rapidshare is, indeed, a pain.
The Gipsy folk dynamic and soft sound. Good musicians.
Thank´s
