The V.I.P.'s were a British R&B musical ensemble formed in Carlisle, Cumberland, England[1] in late 1963, out of an earlier outfit known as The Ramrods, who had formed in Carlisle in 1960. From a musical reorientation the band changed their name to Art in 1967, and released the album Supernatural Fairy Tales.
