Notes The Fox is a hidden gem in Elton John’s catalog, blending introspective ballads with cinematic flourishes and political edge. This Canadian pressing features the surreal room setting with a taxidermy fox and vintage TV—a visual metaphor for the album’s eclectic tone. With contributions from Bernie Taupin and producer Clive Franks, the record moves from the haunting “Elton’s Song” to the orchestral sweep of “Carla / Etude.” It’s a bold, artful statement from an artist reinventing himself in the early ’80s.
