Album Description

The Turtles are one of the most fondly remembered '60s pop acts—quite an achievement considering that they came up in an era dominated by Motown, The Beatles and other musical giants. After releasing a series of chart-topping singles, including the #1 hit "Happy Together," the band broke up in 1970. Singers Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan continued as a duo under the name Flo & Eddie, recording albums, hosting their own syndicated radio show, and singing backup for T. Rex, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Blondie, and many others. In 1985, they reformed The Turtles as a very successful touring outfit.

Happy Together: The Very Best Of The Turtles collects the band's biggest hits, including the career-defining "Happy Together" and Top 20 smash hits "You Showed Me," "You Baby," and "Elenore." The album also features an early Warren Zevon-penned song, "Outside Chance," and Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe," as well as the classic protest anthem "Eve of Destruction."

5 out of 5 stars One Of The Great Groups Of Years Gone By.......2007-06-18

This is one of the groups of the 60's if you want something to remember, or learn about from back then. They had a lot of great hits along with Peter & Gordon, Chad & Jeremy, Herman's Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, & the Lovin Spoonful, just to name a few. Don't take my word for it. Listen to the sample songs and buy it for yourself. I just happened to grow up in the 60's so I didn't have a problem loving every song. After you buy this you may want to try some of the other groups next. It becomes a Blast into the Past or for those like me, a trip down Memory Lane.

4 out of 5 stars A nice collection.......2007-04-14

This is a very good collection of the Turtles' biggest hits. Their lite, pop-rock was fun to listen too when I was a kid and still is! While some of the lyrics may not be the most profound, their music is enjoyable. My favorites are the classic "Happy Together", "You Baby," "She'd Rather Be With Me," "Elenore," and "It Ain't Me Babe."

5 out of 5 stars Happy Together..........2007-02-03

I'm a fan of 60's music. "Happy Together" is one of those songs of my elementary school days. I rate this classic collection five stars!!

5 out of 5 stars Cooking Turtles.......2006-11-10

These guys were great in the sixties.....Now those of us who once drifted away have come back and there we find the Turtles. Still sounding as good as they did back then...........it was great to run into these guys again...

5 out of 5 stars Feel good hits from the 60's.......2006-11-06

These are the essential Feel-Good hits from the 60's. This cd features most of the Turtles happy songs. There are a couple of minor hits missing, but they're hardly missed from this collection. The Turtles had the great talent of producing happy, playful songs (Happy Together) as well as meaningful music (Eve of Destruction). The music of the 60's is definitely represented in this greatest hits collection.

            Album Description

            As a result of the Vodafone Live advertising campaign, 'Can You Dig It?' (which originally peaked at no. 18 in the singles chart in 1991) has brought back deserved attention to this Madchester five-piece band. For the first time, this 'Best Of' features the best tracks from the band's three (deleted) albums with tracks from Imaginary Records & Virgin Records. Unusually for a hits collection, 'The Best Of The Mock Turtles' also includes 8 brand new songs, penned by original frontman Martin Coogan. Includes 'Can You Dig It? (Fatboy Slim & Simon Thornton 2003 Remix)'. Copy controlled.

              5 out of 5 stars great band, great collection, a must to have, and GROOOOVY!!.......2002-10-14

              I recognized this groovy California outfit from their hippie tune 'You Showed Me' from a local radio station in my city. Then I was hooked up!... But, then I found that a quite few from recording company to include this number into their record. Then one day, I found this collecion on local record store that include 'You Showed Me'. This collection contains the other 19 tracks that very, very, very delights me.

              I highly recommend this record to buy and to enjoy for all of you who enjoys 60's tunes.
