No, it was not. Randy Bachman left The Guess Who in May 1970. The Guess Who continued on until 1975, releasing something like 9 albums before breaking up. Bachman formed Brave Belt with Chad Allan, another former member of The Guess Who who had left the band in 1966. Chad Allan and Randy Bachman were the original founders of The Guess Who. Brave Belt became Bachman-Turner Overdrive when Allan left because he did not like the heavier sound the band started to evolve towards.
As a fan of their first two albums, I bought this as soon as it was released. This is one of the first songs I learned to play on the bass as a kid. Yeah... it's a basic box pattern, but within a few months, I had graduated to Geddy, Geezer, and Jack Bruce licks. ( My early hero's)
Not Fragile was a standard in marching and basketball bands in high school and college. We played it at about 25 times faster than the original recording.
"Not Fragile" was not released as a single from the album. The album had two singles, "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and "Roll On Down The Highway", both of which charted on the US Billboard Pop Singles chart at #1 and #14 respectively.
I came in from from a podcast that I was watching at 1.25x speed. This song is awesome at 1.25x. 😂 I didn’t realize. It’s pretty good regular speed too.
LOL! Yeah, that had happened to me a while ago, too: I was watching a video of Tommy Aldridge drumming along to an Ozzy song, and I was amazed at his speed and accuracy, especially as he's now in his seventies! Then I remarked the video's speed was still set to 1.25x or even 1.5x from a video podcast I'd watched earlier 😅
Once again, great opinion with funny. As I was listening, the first thing I thought was that the album was biggly better, so there you go. Still have that album, old I am ✨️🎶✨️
BTO music was simple and could be repetitive, especially on Turner songs. Fred Turner was clearly a talented musician, but not very many people could tell you anything about him. By contrast, Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings are considered Canadian rock royalty (for generation X and older across the country and at any age in their native Manitoba).
I don’t think you would like the album better. It seems to me that it’s slower on the record. Other wise it’s basically the same. Vocals were a little better on the studio recording since he was much younger. I played it in band before I heard the record and was so so disappointed in how slow it was. 😁

The studio version is heavy for 1974. Makes you want to crank it up and shake the house! 🤘
Remember Bachman Turner Overdrive was originally the Guess Who with Burton Cummings

@@edwardlongshanks827 I was not going to get technical, Just a brief statement,
@@squamishfish Even a brief statement should be factually correct. Your comment was not.
Never missed a BTO show in the 80s (Vancouver Island) - best experienced in your late teens at a 15K seat Arena Rock Concert.

Same drug and alcohol aversion is what caused him to quit the Guess Who. He was a strict Mormon back in the day.

Gotta hear Tal Bachman - She's So High 😀

This song was very heavy for the time. Definitely an early Metal song.
❤ Love this album! Had a textured album cover but that's not relevant 😅

I'm not familiar with this song. However, I did enjoy some of their stuff on the radio in the 70s.
