Supernatural Fairy Tales

Supernatural Fairy Tales is the only album by Art, who were formerly known as The V.I.P.'s. The album contains mostly band compositions plus a cover of The Young Rascals' "Come on Up" and Buffalo Springfield's "What's That Sound" ("For What It's Worth"). Unusual for 1967, the album was issued in mono only.

Shortly after this album's release the band dissolved, with all four musicians of the final line-up forming the band Spooky Tooth later in 1967 with the American musician Gary Wright.
