  Electric Prunes
There appeared to be an abrupt shift in the Electric Prunes musical direction with the release of the album, 'Mass in F Minor', in January 1968.
Electric Prunes songs were also included in several other films of the late sixties, such as 'The Name of the Game Is Kill' (1968).
Dave Hassinger owned the name of the Electric Prunes and encouraged by the success of the 'Mass in F Minor' LP, a similar follow-up was promptly arranged.

 The Electric Prunes - Biography - AOL Music
Though they got considerable input from talented L.A. songwriters and producers, with their two big hits penned by outside sources, the Electric Prunes did by and large play the music on their records, their first lineup writing some respectable material of their own.
Songwriters Annette Tucker and Nancie Mantz wrote most of the Prunes' material, much of which in turn was crafted in the studio by Dave Hassinger, who had engineered some classic Rolling Stones sessions in the mid-'60s.
None of the original Prunes were still in the lineup when the band dissolved, unnoticed, at the end of the '60s.

 The Electric Prunes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Electric Prunes are a rock band who first achieved international attention as an experimental psychedelic group in the late 1960s, and contributed two tracks to the soundtrack of Easy Rider.
The Prunes' third album, Mass in F Minor (1968), was a psychedelicized setting of the Mass written and produced by David Axelrod, and somewhat of an underground favorite.
The late 1990s saw renewed interest in the Electric Prunes, with the release of Stockholm, a concert recorded by the Swedish Broadcasting Company while the (original) Prunes were on tour there in 1967.

 Electric Prunes California Review By Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Electric Prunes are Mark Tulin, James Lowe, Ken Williams, Joe Dooley and Mark Moulin.
The guitars that are transformed into prunes for just the right twang, with crackling voltage all around them seemingly bursting right out at you from inside the picture, which makes it a unique and very prune twang experience (a secret language only understood by a few).
Because there is only one Electric Prunes, just like there is only one Beatles or Rolling Stones, they stand alone as true rock granddads without anyone around that can hold a candle to them.

 The Electric Prunes' "Mass in F Minor" Liner Notes
With Electric Prunes manager Lenny Poncher and arranger David Axelrod, a new strategy was hatched in which Axelrod would write and arrange an album combining classical music, the sort of Gregorian vocals heard in some religious music, and freakout psychedelia.
Whether the Electric Prunes were a suitable vehicle for the experiment is questionable.
We were slow and only Mark [Tulin, Electric Prunes bassist] read music." Although it is the band you hear on the three songs that comprised side one of the album ("Kyrie Eleison," "Gloria," "Credo"), the group were going too slow for Axelrod's tastes.

 The Electric Prunes - California
The Electric Prunes return with copious amounts of their trademark fuzz ‘n’ feedback on their latest release, California (PruneTwang Music).
The simple-is-better songwriting formula that keeps the older folk yearning for the good ‘ol ‘daze’ while attracting a demographic that was barely a twinkle in the paternal eyes, remains the modus operandi for the Prunes as they combine razor-sharp hooks and sing-along melodies in equal parts.
The Prunes have delivered a solid, forward-looking album - and keeping with the long-lost sixties tradition, there is absolutely no filler on this disc.

 The Electric Prunes - "California"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I'll assume that all our readers know The Electric Prunes, even if it's only to recall their 1967 psychedelic classic, "I Had To Much To Dream (Last Night)".
A sense of fun pervades throughout the album as the Prunes plow through a rockin' set of numbers that blend the California sound they seek with good ‘ol down ‘n dirty psychedelic garage rock.
I just checked out the Electric Prunes web site to see if any tours are in the works and sure enough there seem to be plans for the Fall.

The original Electric Prunes don't acknowledge this release and understandably so, it probably felt like a slap in the face.
I have an European release of the original Electric Prunes and their pictures are subtitled with the names of this lineup; a huge typographical error.
It is admirable of the original group, to not make light of their feelings about this, except of their disappointment in Hassinger.

 The Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)" Liner Notes
Few rock singles are as simultaneously experimental and commercial as the Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)." That was obvious right from the opening hook: a slowly swelling, backwards burst of fuzztone tremolo guitar, announcing the record's arrival like a supersonic bee swooping into your speakers.
The Electric Prunes made sure it sounded much different, starting with the snippet of deliberately wiggly backwards guitar that opened the track.
Unlike many of the garage-psychedelic bands enshrined by Nuggets, the Electric Prunes came up with a follow-up that was just as great, although "Get Me to the World on Time" (written by Annette Tucker with Jill Jones) didn't do quite as well on the charts, reaching #27.

The Electric Prunes have pulled off the nearly impossible: they have managed to preserve and update their sound to make it even better and more original than the music they first made together all those years ago.

The Electric Prunes were one of the most underrated psychedelic bands of the Sixties.
At thier best, the Prunes rock: The afformentioned title track is a reverb-soaked psych-pop masterpiece, complete with shimmering guitars, a rousing chorus, and some wistful, haunted vocals.
The Prunes were a fine group, but there are much better representations oftheir sound than this album.

The problem with a lot of stuff from the psychedelic era is that it was music made by people who were trying to turn their brains to mush with drugs.
Prunes can be heard in the graveyard acid dropping scene with Jack Nicholsen and Dennis Hopper in "Easy Rider".
Unhappy with all the other Prunes releases, Lowe and bassist Mark Tulin selected tracks they deemed worthy of the Prunes legacy and remastered them specifically for this release.

 Review - DVD: The Electric Prunes: Rewired
Some 30 or so years after falling apart amidst managerial manipulations, loss of control over their own music and recordings, eventual replacement by outsiders resulting in a bogus Electric Prunes recording, and touring behind the name in the late '60s, most of the original band has reunited.
They recorded a new CD called Artifacts and embarked on a European tour in 2002, by all reports astonishing audiences with their wigged-out garage-a-delic sound.
The guitars are a little heavier than "back in the day," but the backline of Vox amps betrays a connection to their roots (the Prunes were sponsored by Vox and even did a well-circulated and hilarious advert for said product).

 The Electric Prunes 67-70 - Brief History
Musically, the later Prune incarnation was in another world compared to where the original Prunes ventured.
The psychedelic foundation and reputation of the Electric Prunes was established worldwide with "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night." The first two albums remain the quintessential psychedelic sound and identity of the Electric Prunes.
Eothen Alapatt, with WRVU in Nashville, "several current hip-hop artists are utilizing 'sampled' tracks from the later recordings of the Electric Prunes." The tracks, written by David Axelrod for the the 'Prunes,' can be found on recordings by Fat Joe and two others by the Beatnuts.

The Electric Prunes : The Electric Prunes: I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night) (Bonus Tracks)
The Electric Prunes' self-titled debut was an interesting but wildly erratic psychedelic album.
The hits "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)" and "Get Me to the World on Time" led off sides one and two, respectively, and were easily the highlights of a set that boasted continuously imaginative production but inconsistent songwriting.

Granted, guitarist/rock historian Lenny Kaye gave us the news back in '72 with his Nuggets compilation, a double LP of the finest greasy garage groups of the '60s.
But there was still something a little too tame -- too Beatles-like -- about the studio recordings by Nuggets groups like the Electric Prunes, the Standells, and the Remains to justify their being linked aesthetically with the nascent punk of Iggy and the Stooges.
Stockholm 67, a legendary live recording of the Electric Prunes in Sweden, documents a group freed from the burden of crafting coherent pop tunes, and sounding Stooge-like in a way that the Nuggets version of "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night" simply doesn't.

 Interview with Ken Williams of The Electric Prunes at www.thepsychedelicguitar.com
After some lessons I went electric and got the top of the line Sears Silvertone with a Sears Amp.
It came with a vibrato bar (wiggle stick) installed like the Gretsch and the Silvertone and was instrumental in creating the sound at the beginning of "Too Much To Dream".
The Mass in F minor cover was pilfered by the webmaster from a huge corporate webseller, without much remorse.

This charade would carry on for a good three years before a chance contact was made with the right person - just assigned by Reprise to put together the first two Electric Prunes albums, with unreleased tracks, for pending release.
Daivd Katznelson was that man, and he eventually won me the right to release the concert Stockholm 67 - dogged determination had paid off, and he was as pleased as I was for its eventual release.
During those long years I had managed to make contact with two of the Electric Prunes, that was enough - even if I never released the concert - these guys were my real lifetime heroes, and here I was Heartbeat, a small label in Bristol, England - for me it was just fantastic.
