Product 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."

5.0 out of 5 stars Sounding so good remastered on CD!, October 6, 2004
Is this the only Turtles CD you need? Probably so. It's the only one I need. It's got all the best songs, the remastered sound is excellent, and the liner notes and packaging are top-notch. Everybody and their mother knows the smash hit "Happy Together" and most people know at least half a dozen of these other songs even if they don't know they're all by The Turtles. All the essentials are here: the four "me" songs: Let It Be Me, It Ain't Me Babe, She'd Rather Be With Me, and You Showed Me plus the four "you" songs: You Know What I Mean, You Baby, You Don't Have To Walk In The Rain, Can I Get To Know You Better. And then there's the "me and you" song, or should I say the "imagine me and you" song...

If you're a fan of sixties pop you need a Turtles CD in your collection. This one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good collection, but..., October 19, 2006
A better buy for a single disc Turtles hits collection is the 20-track Greatest Hits on Rhino. Every track on this one is included on that one plus six more, and the price is comparable. This isn't bad, but that one's got a little more for roughly the same price. Good tunes throughout!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Sounding Turtles CD by far, February 6, 2005
I bought this CD just for the newly remastered sound. Though I have the "20 Greatest Hits" released by Rhino Records but the sound quality of that isn't quite "clear". Now, released by Shout Factory with the newly remastered sound, the sound is "Crystal Clear". One thing I don't like is that they put only 14 tracks on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A blast from the past
