Turtle Soup is the last original studio album by The Turtles. It was released in 1969on the White Whale Records label. The album was produced by Ray Davies of The Kinks - the first time he produced another artist's record. A 1993 Repertoire Records CD-issue included 8 bonus tracks.

Turtle Soup peaked at #117 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. Two singles from the album also earned a place on the Billboard Pop Singles chart: "You Don't Have To Walk In The Rain" (#51), and "Love In The City" (#91).

The group's final album, produced by Ray Davies, is a modestly enjoyable collection of good-time rock, occasionally with a slight progressive or satirical edge.

The Turtles always seemed to harbor some serious ambitions, but the fact was that their only true forte was catchy pop/rock singles; when they aimed for more, the results were pleasant but unmemorable. There aren't any hit singles missing in action here, except maybe "You Don't Have to Walk in the Rain," so unless you're a dedicated fan you can pass without remorse.
