Description
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. The guitar workout song "Bullfrog" is basically Deep Purple's song "Jam Stew" which Purple had originally performed for the BBC Studio Sessions. A record of this session was released in 1972 by Decca in the U.S, as well as a single coupling the tracks My Baby Left Me and Lovin' You Is Good For Me, Baby (Decca 32831.) As a long playing it was first issued on vinyl by MCA Records in the U.K. and Decca records in the U.S.
