The Beat Goes On (Atco Records 33-237/mono, SD 33-237/stereo) is the second album by the Americanpsychedelic rockbandVanilla Fudge, released in early 1968. The album doesn’t contain any real “songs”, but rather a sound collage featuring many different elements: the voices of world leaders past and present, the band reciting pre-written mantras and reflections, and excerpts of songs (done “Vanilla Fudge style”) byThe BeatlesandSonny Bono.

Recording

The group was at odds with their producerGeorge “Shadow” Mortonduring this album’s recording sessions, as Morton made his own concept album without significant input from the band. In the liner notes to theSundazed Records1990’s CD reissue of the album, the band denounces it as a failed experiment on their producer’s part. Vanilla Fudge’s third albumRenaissance, which was released quickly after The Beat Goes On, would be Morton’s last collaboration with the band.
