Green Bullfrog

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Green Bullfrog was a one-day studio project made in 1971. Producer Derek Lawrence's idea, it was realized by a stellar group of musicians. 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

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.

Four tracks recorded by Green Bullfrogs have been published on RITCHIE BLACKMORE - GET AWAY - GROUPS & SESSIONS in 2005.

Producer: Derek Lawrence

Engineer: Martin Birch
