The Turtles / The Complete Original Album Collection / 6CD box set
Comprehensive Turtles box set with bonus tracks
American rock band The Turtles’ celebrate their 50th anniversary this August with the release of a pair of definitive CD packages that encompass, for the first time, the whole of the Turtles’ recorded output from 1965 to 1970…
The Complete Original Album Collection is a six-CD box set that of the six albums that The Turtles released between 1965 to 1970, with each disc presenting a wealth of rare bonus material.
The first three albums — It Ain’t Me Babe, You Baby and Happy Together — are presented in original mono and stereo mixes, while each of the remaining three — The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands, Turtle Soup and Wooden Head — provide a selection of rarities (including some previously unreleased material) such as demos, alternative mixes and radio spots.
In addition to the box, a new compilation All The Singles collects the A and B-sides of every original 1965-1970 Turtles 45, with the tracks presented in the same mono or stereo mixes that were heard on the original singles. All the Singles also features several tracks that were prepared for singles release but not issued at the time.
Engineer Bill Inglot has researched and prepared this material from the original master tapes and both sets contain liner notes by Andrew Sandoval.
Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman are fully involved in these projects and they are both issued on The Turtles’ label FloEdCo, in association with Manifesto Records. The pair continue to play live and the ‘Happy Together 2016’ North American tour kicked off a few weeks ago.
The Complete Original Album Collection 6CD box and All The Singles will be released on 19 August 2016.
