Green Bullfrog
Studio album by Green Bullfrog
Released 1972
Recorded De Lane Lea Studios, London, March/April 1970
Label Decca D-75269
Producer Derek Lawrence, Engineer: Martin Birch

Green Bullfrog was an album resulting from a one-off studio project and recorded between February and May 1970. Producer Derek Lawrence's idea, it was realized by a stellar group of musicians with whom Lawrence had worked with through the 1960's. For contractual reasons, the musicians were billed under pseudonyms:

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. A record of this session was released in 1972. It was distributed by Decca records.

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.
