“Green Bullfrog” is a
rock album recorded by an ad-hoc band of musicians under the guidance of
producer Derek Lawrence. The bulk of the album was recorded over two sessions
at De Lane Lea Studios, London in 1970, with later string and brass overdubs.
It was originally released in 1971, with reissues in 1980 and 1991.
For contractual reasons, the original album listed pseudonyms in the credits, which led to speculation as to who actually performed on the record. The musicians were eventually confirmed as including Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Paice, Procol Harum's Matthew Fisher, Chas & Dave's Chas Hodges and session guitarists Albert Lee and Big Jim Sullivan.
