Released in May 1981, The Fox is much-loved by Elton’s aficionados. It can be seen as a transitional work from the experimentation of his turn of the decade records to his full creative rebirth two years later with Too Low For Zero. The Fox contains writing collaborations with Gary Osborne, Tom Robinson and Bernie Taupin. The following year, it became one of the first albums where every track had a specially made promotional film for it and was released as a long-form video.
