Save the Turtles: Greatest Hits album Product Description
Save the Turtles: Greatest Hits album by Turtles was released Apr 21, 2009 on the Manifesto label. The Turtles, led by the intertwined vocals of Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, sounded initially like a second-tier version of the Byrds when their version of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe" hit the radio in 1965, but by the time the band called it quits a couple of years later, they had developed into a smooth-sounding, good-natured pop group. This 20-track survey of the band's history, selected by Kaylan and Volman, hits all the key tracks, including "It Ain't Me Babe," a fine version of P.F. Sloan's "Let Me Be," the Ray Davies-produced "Love in the City," and the big pop hits "Happy Together" and "Elenore." A special treat is a previously unissued Chevrolet Camaro radio commercial that finds the Turtles gleefully hawking cars, complete with a voice cameo from Warren Zevon.

| This is one of the best! Strong set of songs with audio more correct than has been on previous reissues, especially "It Ain't Me Babe", "Outside Chance" and "Making My Mind Up" the full correct version, horns and all. Definitely worth it! By berkshireboy62 (Pittsfield, Massachusetts)  |
| Great sounds !!! All the Turtles' biggies, in one place: fans maybe will think that they have all of them (apart from the bonus, the Camaro ad), maybe many times: but a surprise awaits, with the inclusion of full-length ending to "Sound asleep" - more duck quacks, trumpet flourishes and so on !!! But, worth buying, even if that were not there !!! By Trev (Morecambe, Lancs, England (UK).) |
| Never sounded better! It's nice to hear these songs remastered. I have the 1984 Rhino issued Turtles CD (which I believe was one of the very first CD's issued by Rhino) and have been waiting to see if/when they would be remastered. Well worth the wait! By Tom (Fayetteville, N.C.)  |
