Turn the Page is the third and final studio album by the German hard rock band Sargant Fury , released in 1995 .
Emergence
The reviews for the band's second studio album, Little Fish, were very positive, and the group had also played a club tour as the opening act for the band Gillan, founded by Ian Gillan in 1978 . Sales were meager, however, and Sargant Fury lost the record deal with WEA Records . Bassist Bauke de Groot left the group and was replaced by Carsten Rebentisch. De Groot has been a member of the Hate Squad since 1995 .
Sargant Fury's new record company was Fresh Fruit / SPV, and with the change of label, the group also made a stylistic correction. Turn the Page was by Charlie Bauerfeind and Sascha Paeth producing and dominated by ballads worn songs. In addition to nine own songs, it contained two cover versions , namely Maniac by Michael Sembello and Can't get Enough by Bad Company . Bauke de Groot, Paul Quinn (guitarist for Saxon ), Sascha Paeth, Axel Naschke, Jörg Lühring, Charlie Bauerfeind, Ferdy Doernberg , Ralf Nowie, Robert Hunecke and Malcolm Robinson contributed to the recordings as guest musicians . The album was released on February 1, 1995, in May of that year Sargant Fury presented the album on a tour of Germany , a little later the group broke up.
Turn the Page was remastered in 2009 and re-released as part of the box set Do You Remember - The Anthology, which included all three of the band's albums. It appeared for the first time in the USA .

reception
In 1995 Rock Hard wrote to Turn the Page that the band was opening a "new page" with the release of the album, and it seemed "all too logical that a change in style would take place with the change of record company". However, "the unbridled freshness that made up the debut and the successor" Little Fish "is nowhere near as obvious". The song arrangements are “better thought out” and the production has “got a slight (contemporary?) Seventies touch.” Turn The Page sounds “super professional,” but “lets you forget the spark a few times.” Ballads like Time or KY Jelly were looking for "their equals in the German scene," the cover version of the pop song Maniac was a success, but none of this could "hide the fact that Sargant Fury seemed a bit disoriented". If you “bear in mind that with Mac you have an excellent singer in the band” and that “considering the technical skills of the other musicians, you can easily keep up with the upper floors of the local rock scene,” that is a bit astonishing.
