Green Bullfrog - 'Green Bullfrog Sessions' [320k MP3]

Green Bullfrog was an album resulting from a one-off studio project and recorded between February and May 1970. The album was the idea of producer Derek Lawrence who assembled a group of musicians with whom he had worked in the 1960s. For contractual reasons, the musicians were billed under pseudonyms:



Albert Lee = Pinta

Matthew Fisher = Sorry

Ian Paice, of Deep Purple = Speedy

Tony Ashton = Bevy

Rod Alexander = Vicar

Chas Hodges = Sleepy

Earl Jordan = Jordan

Big Jim Sullivan = Boss

Ritchie Blackmore, of Deep Purple = Boots



Despite rumours at the time Jeff Beck, Roger Glover and Jon Lord do not appear on the sessions. A few originals (penned by Lawrence) were played, as well as many blues-inflected covers of rock songs. A record of this session was released in 1972. It was distributed by Decca records.
