Fool

Repressing. The Fool came to London in the early '60s from Amsterdam as designers, and were asked by NEMS' Brian Epstein to style his clients in the new Psychedelic fashions, everything from the painted guitars and flamboyant clothes sported by Cream on their first US tour to psychedelic cars for the stars and the mural on the Apple Boutique - which also showcased their fashions. Their album sleeves for Jimi Hendrix, the Move and the Incredible String Band among others, remain classics. And, yes, they made an album! Produced by Graham Nash on the cusp of leaving the Hollies (who The Fool also did sleeves for!) and engineered by Hendrix sound master Eddie Kramer, the album is a shock! This is a tour de force of Wyrd Folk ala Incredible String Band and strange twisted visions of pop ala God knows who! Cherry Red.
