 Foxastic February 18, 2008
Back in the 70s when Glam rock was the thing something drew me closer to the Radio one Day as this very unique female Vocalist Sung "Only You Can" .I wrote the Name down and thought yes I must buy this Record as it captured my imagination.. Later I saw Noosha on TOTP and was hooked... The sonic Qualities of this Album are outstanding for a 70s Pop Album and if someone played it too you unnamed you would never guess the release date..As someone else mentioned this is something like 70s "Goldfrapp"..Very warming to listen to..theres not a Bad Tk on it infact the Love Ship - Red Letter Day transition at the end of the Album is one of the Many highlights... the Bonus Tks are quite good on this one as well unlike the 3 on the later releases...If you dont Know of Fox buy this CD 1st then the others later.. Its a Classic
the glamorous mystique of Noosha Fox July 24, 2007

This eponymous album by Fox, featuring the delectably kooky and extraordinarily accomplished vocal skills of Noosha Fox a.k.a Suzie Traynor, is about as immaculately crafted a pop album as one could hope to hear - suffused with a fanciful glam/post-psychedelic mood, the songs, a phantasmagoria of jugglers, patient tigers and love-ships, are all perfect little masterpieces, exquisite in their magical lightness and slightly hallucinatory charm. The mid-70s aesthetic of the group is embodied to perfection in the piquantly beautiful and charismatic person of Noosha herself, the quintessential Biba-adorned incarnation of mid 1970s retro nostalgia which took inspiration from the glamorous mystique of the 20s and 30s. The songs on this album are all little jewels, all wonderful, strange and charged with a unique eccentricity and charm. It really is a classic album and sounds as fresh, uplifting and exhilarating today as it did when first released. Thoroughly whimsical, light-hearted and playful - yet stylish and totally sublime, this is an album I listen to again and again and never tire of.
More to the 70s than glam and prog November 5, 2006

Fox were,along with the Rubettes and Sailor,the most interesting of all the new bands in the 70s and their actual pedigree goes back into the early 60s via Kenny Young and as she was known at the time Susan Traynor,later to be renamed Noosha Fox.
In 1963 she was on a single by the Charmettes called Please don't kiss me again-which became Kenny Young's first "hit" as a writer even though it only just made the Top 100.
Susan Traynor was born and educated in Australia and emigrated to the States in the 60s By the time Kenny Young made his first album-Last stage for the Silverworld- he was already a hugely succesful songwriter with hits by the Drifters,Hermans Hermits and Ronnie Dove.He came to England after his song Captain of your ship by Reperata & the Delrons charted in the U K and shortly after discovered Clodagh Rodgers via a TV programme.Thus the Irish singer would become a blue print for Fox as her Young produced albums covered many of his previous songs as well as new ones which saw chart action at least 3 times.
The soon to be Noosha Fox had appeared on the first Young LP as Amanda.
The rest of the band were made up of Herbie Armstrong,who was Irish,and various session musicians.
Seen as more of a studio project than any attempt to create a permanent band,Fox would make 3 albums with a 4th one by Noosha which was never released until the time of the first CD under the Fox name and which was called Only You Can after the first hit in 1974.
Ths solo career of Noosha Fox amounted to just one hit and after a few other singles on Earlobe and the standalone Fox single Electro People in 1979 she eventually returned to Australia and left the business.Kenny Yound and Herbie Armstrong carried on under the name of Yellow Dog and cut 3 albums which spawned 2 hit singles-Just one more night being the biggest.
Next came Gentlemen Without Weapons which was not actually a band but the sounds of real animals in the background!
Which indicates Young's love of animals-as well as the 2 group names theres songs with titles like Patient Tigers and a publishing company called Kangaroo Music.
The music was both ahead of its time and a throwback to the early 60s which was further strengthened by a cover of Ketty Lester's Love letters-done for no other reason than the writer having the same surname!

I was 16 when this album came out. I loved it then and I love it now. I wonder what became of Noosha (Susan)? I wanted to sleep with her then, and I still want to sleep with her now.
Marvellous album.
Please hurry up and release 'Blue Hotel' on CD!!
 Great Album...Tripe Extra Tracks April 27, 2006
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
The album sounds as fresh and contemporay as when it was released. Love it, love it, love it!!
Claire Grogan of Altered Images fame should be ashamed of her shameless rip off of Noosha Fox's sublime vocal style. Why didn't the music press pick up on this glaring rip off at the time??? Maybe Claire was too cute. Happy birthday, Claire! Noosha beat you to it.
But the extra tracks??? Tripe! Sound like they were recorded off wonky cassette tape or warped records. Really, they stink!! Grrrrrr! Rotten. Buy for the album alone and NOT the extra tracks.
