''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. A reissue was released in 1980 under ''ECY Street Records'' on Vinyl in the US. Four tracks recorded by Green Bullfrog have been published on the Ritchie Blackmore compilation ''Get Away - Groups and Sessions'' (2005). It was remixed at Abbey Road Studios, London in 1991 by Derek Lawrence and released on CD. ==Tracks== (as on the ''Green Bullfrog Session'' CD) ( *appeared on original vinyl) #"Ain't Nobody Home" (Jerry Ragovoy) #"Bullfrog" (Derek Lawrence, Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice) * #"Walk a Mile in My Shoes" (Joe South) * #"My Baby Left Me" (Arthur Crudup) * #"Makin' Time" (Eddie Phillips, Kenny Pickett) * #"Lawdy Miss Clawdy" (Lloyd Price) * #"I'm a Free Man" (Mark "Moogy" Klingman) * #"Lovin' You is Good for Me Baby" (Lawrence/Corlett/Hutton) * #"I Want You" (Tony Joe White) * #"Louisiana Man" (Doug Kershaw) #"Who Do You Love?"
