Chris Squire & Alan White ‎– Run With The Fox (1981, EP, England)

"Run with the Fox" is a 1981 Christmas song written, composed, produced, and performed by Chris Squire and Alan White, with Peter Sinfield co-writing lyrics. Both former Yes members, Squire and White recorded the song after their new band XYZ with Jimmy Page seemed unlikely to happen, and released the single under their own names as a collaborative piece.

Andrew Pryce Jackman, a childhood friend and frequent collaborator of Squire, was in charge of orchestration and since they had both been boy choristers with Barry Rose at St. Andrew's Church, Kingsbury, they contacted him to provide a boys choir to do the backing. By this time Barry was at St.Paul's Cathedral, so it is the St.Paul's boys that you hear on this recording. The B-side of the single, "Return of the Fox", is a more instrumental variation of "Run with the Fox', co-written by former King Crimson member Peter Sinfield. It features Dave Lawson (ex-Greenslade keyboardist & vocalist) on keyboards, and Squire's then wife Nikki on backing vocals. Following "Run with the Fox", both musicians collaborated again in the band Cinema which ultimately led to the reformation of Yes. The song would feature on Squire's festive album Chris Squire's Swiss Choir with another choir dubbed onto the track.
