C. F. Turner actually does vocals on at least two songs on the first Brave Belt album, but no instrumentation ("Lifetime" and "Anyday Means Tomorrow") and is pictured on the back cover of the album RS 6447. For Brave Belt II, Tim Bachman is only credited as a co-writer on one song ("Put It In A Song") and is not listed as having any other contributions to the album MS 2057. He did join as a second guitarist for the supporting concerts for the album and the subsequent sessions that would turn into Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Chad Allan had left Brave Belt during the second album recording sessions, contributing to a only handful of the tracks.
Prior to the recording of the 'Share The Land' album in 1970, Randy Bachman left 'The Guess Who' and after recording a solo album titled 'Axe' he formed "Brave Belt" with his brother Robbie on drums and keyboardist Chad Allan (originally part of The Guess Who). They later brought on board CF (Fred) Turner. Though Turner's name appears on the jacket of their first album (1971's self titled "Brave Belt"), Turner actually had nothing to do with the album as it had been recorded by the time he joined.
In 1972 Allan left the group and was replaced by Tim Bachman. The second album Brave Belt II didn't sell as well as expected and the group ended up switching labels to Mercury and, owing to management insisting on a name change, Bachman Turner Overdrive were born.
Following the instant success of BTO, Reprise re-released Brave Belt II, as seen here, under the title 'Bachman-Turner-Bachman as Brave Belt'.
