The Turtles - Present The Battle Of The Bands album flac

The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands is the fourth studio album released by the American rock band the Turtles. Produced by Chip Douglas (who returned to work with the Turtles after a brief stint shepherding The Monkees' transition into a live band), it was released in November 1968 by White Whale Records. It includes John Barbata's final recorded performances with the band; he left shortly after its release to join Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

This was a concept album, with the band pretending to be a series of different groups, playing in varying styles from psychedelic ("The Last Thing I Remember") to hard rock ("Buzzsaw") to surf music ("Surfer Dan") to bluegrass ("Chicken Little Was Right"). The outer cover showed the Turtles in evening dress, playing hosts of the "show", while the inside gatefold showed them in different costumes for each song. The entire album was filled with puns and hidden jokes

A fantastic concept album in which The Turtles perform songs as different bands, this record is a ridiculous amount of fun. It actually came onto my radar after I fell head over heels for the song Elenore via a great little movie called Pirate Radio. I haven't posted one of my "recent acquisitions" posts in a long time so here I go posting one today. I used to have an original vinyl copy of "The Turtles Present The Battle Of The Bands" years ago but, like a lot of my other albums back then, it disappeared with the passage of time. So I finally acquired a copy (in Mp3 form but beggars can't be choosers) and happily await hearing the album from start to finish. This is a concept album (originally released on November 1, 1968) in which the band The Turtles portray a different band on each and every track

The USSR", so The Turtles paid tribute to not only their past but to the whole surf rock genre with what has to be the ultimate surf rock song! It has cool cars, cool kids, cool lyrics, with the music and singing and the spirit all just right. One of the best tracks on the album.
