Lemmings is the first studio album by British progressive rock group Bachdenkel. Conceived as a three sided album it was recorded during the summer of 1970 after the group relocated to France, but would not be released for nearly three years, in 1973 by which time it had used up over 12,000 pounds of unpaid studio time (the equivalent to over £129,000 in 2022). Despite interest in the UK from CBS and Warner Brothers in 1973 studio owners Europa Sonor struck a deal with Philips in France who would release it as a two sided album. In 1978 it was released with 3 missing tracks on an enclosed EP by the Initial Recording Company that was created by Karel Beer.
