The Fool - Anarchic eccentrics in 1960's Amsterdam and
London; designers of many a psychedelic wonder; mainly
known for being slagged off in every Beatles book ever
written by those who weren't there! But was there
more? Oh yes indeed...

The Fool began as a faction of the Amsterdam Provos,
the Provocateurs whose Proto-Situationist pranks had
Holland in an uproar throughout the 1960's; from White
Bicycles to trepanation to nonstop major windups of
the Police and government - the Provos achieved a
species of portable Anarchist Republic which stunned
Europe.

The Fool came to London as designers, though
commissioned by NEMS management to style their 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
founding CSN, engineered by Hendrix soundmaster Eddie
Kramer, the album is a shock! Pictured and airily
dismissed in every Beatles book, this is a tour de
force of Wyrd Folk ala Incredible String Band and
strange twisted visions of pop
 ala God knows who! A
delight long buried under Beatles baggage.

The Fool can take it's place alongside the likes of
DAVID HEMMINGS - "David Hemmings Happens" and VASHTI's
"Another Diamond Day" as rediscovered artifacts of a
time when an injection of Wicker Man-ism somehow found
it's way into the already twisted body of British pop.
