Turtles
Turtle soupOriginal 1st Press OZ LP released in 1969 on White Whale Records. Cat: SWWL933643.
This batch of LP’s are from a very recently acquired collection of all original late 60’s early 70’s pressing LP’s. There are around 200 albums I hope to list over the coming weeks some fantastic titles amongst them most over 45 years old!! I have hand cleaned and listened to every album and graded conservatively (as per usual) to give the most accurate grading I can. I hope you enjoy browsing or bidding on the titles as much as I have listening to them all.
'TURTLE SOUP' is considered by fans and critics to be their finest album. Penning all the material, the band were now calling their own shots, including their surprising choice of THE KINK's Ray Davies to produce. This was Davies' first non-KINKS production and the band came up with songs that were inspired by his latest opus, the then contemporary KINKS' pastoral 'VILLAGE GREEN,' including jangling acoustic guitars, plucked basses and cellos, and new member John Seiter's (from SPANKY & OUR GANG) sympathetic drumming. Although 'TURTLE SOUP' didn't generate any monster hits, it's a broader and richer recording. Their preceding concept album, 'PRESENT THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS' found the group experimenting with different genres away from the assembly-line pop material their label White Whale continual tried to foist upon them, with 'TURTLE SOUP' continuing their quest for autonomy. Unfortunately 'TURTLE SOUP' did not light-up the charts (#117US) and became THE TURTLES final album, they disbanded shortly after it's release.
