The poster art (also used for the LP and Lalo Schifrin´s rerecording of the score for Aleph) was always one of my favorites. Unfortunaly I didn´t know who was the artist behind this psychedelic masterpiece.
I have my LP handy; On the right of those trees atop Anne Heywood's "hair"/"fox", one can detect the artists' initials. It looks to me like "L & D Dillon".
Sorry, I don't know their full names, or even who they are and how much artwork they did for cinema, but here's a good scan of an LP front cover:
To Tone Row-If someone is having trouble getting up in the morning, that pink on that cover album, should do the trick, also may i say the main theme from The Fox by Shriffin was one of my favorite pieces to listen to when i rode my bike years ago.
Thanks guys! That´s more information I´ve expected!
Several years ago I was at a concert of the rock group The Datsuns and they used a variation of this motif for their tour shirt. Unfortunaly It was already sold out.
When i used to be a vender, selling soundtracks at flea markets, anytime i got a copy of that soundtrack[many times] it sold right away because of that cover.
I have the Warner, the original recording. I didn't know the rerecording existed! I have the (fantastic) Aleph rerecording of Bullit, but never knew there were others made. From Bullit I know the original soundtrack is out there, but I never purchased it, I'm so stuck to the rerecording... I guess for the Fox it's the other way around (I love the original and never bothered to look for rerecordings). As for the Warner: it's a great CD, sound quality is very good. It's such an intimate listening experience... So how is the rerecording? Is there more music on it? Are the interpretations very different from the original?

The 1999 rerecording has more music than the initial album, which is why I like it very much. However, as with the Warner LP, Schifrin had recorded pieces for album purposes which are thematically related to the actual film score but have never been in the movie itself.
The original recording sessions (whether they have done in Canada or U.S.A.) have yet to be released onto an album and the best way to savor them is by watching The Fox (I prefer the music in the film over both the LP program and Schifrin's re-do).
