The Turtles

The Turtles, formed in LA by Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, are best known for their 1967 chart-topping hit "Happy Together." Their sound evolved from Byrds-inspired folk-rock to pop, achieving several Top 10 hits. After disbanding in the late '60s, Kaylan and Volman joined Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention as Flo & Eddie, later reuniting as the Turtles for oldies tours. They released several albums and contributed to soundtracks and radio shows. Known for their harmonious vocals, they regained rights to their music, leading to various reissues.

Badfinger

Swansea-based Badfinger, mentored by the Beatles, brought power pop to the '70s with hits like "Come and Get It." Known for Pete Ham's and Joey Molland's rock guitar edge, they achieved success with albums like "No Dice" and "Straight Up." Despite collaborating with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they faced financial turmoil, leading to tragedies within the band. Notable covers of their song "Without You" by Harry Nilsson and Mariah Carey cemented their legacy.
