Velvett Fogg are an English psychedelic rock group from the Birmingham scene, best known for their 1969 self-titled album, noted for a controversial cover and sleeve notes by John Peel. The band disbanded after the album.

Released a self-titled album in 1969. John Peel wrote an introduction for the album. The record mixes psychedelia, folk, prog and hard rock. The original Birmingham lineup hosted Tony Iommi for a few gigs before Paul Eastment replaced him on lead guitar (as reported in the DeBaser review). Key players mentioned in the review include organist/vocalist Frank Wilson, guitarist/composer Keith Law, Paul Eastment, drummer Graham Mullet and bassist Mick Pollard. The album's artwork provoked controversy. The band disbanded after the album; the review notes Frank Wilson later became involved with Nick Simper in Warhorse (as stated in the review).

A positive, nostalgic DeBaser review celebrates Velvett Fogg's singular 1969 album, highlighting tracks like "Yellow Cave Woman" and their blend of psychedelia, folk and hard rock. The review notes a controversial cover, John Peel's involvement and the band's brief activity in the late 1960s. It recommends listening to the album for its distinct atmosphere and standout performances.

For:Fans of 1960s British psychedelia, collectors of obscure vintage rock, listeners of psychedelic/progressive/folk-tinged rock.
