Fable is the self‑titled debut studio album by the British folk‑rock group Fable, released in 1973 on Magnet Records. The album blends British folk rock, pastoral acoustic music, and early progressive influences, characteristic of the early‑1970s UK folk scene.

The record is notable for its warm, rustic sound, featuring acoustic guitars, gentle rhythms, and melodic songwriting rooted in traditional folk structures while incorporating contemporary rock elements. The overall feel is intimate and understated, aligning Fable with other cult folk acts of the era.

Tracks include Hard Life, Madolin, Thick as a Plank, Google Eye, Old Queen, Come Down, Can’t Get Enough, Sun, Roll On, and If I Were a Carpenter. Production was handled by Peter Shelley, who helped preserve the album’s natural, organic sound.
