By 1968, the Electric Prunes weren’t the band that scored a #11 hit with their psychedelic classic “I Had Too Much To Dream .” In fact, almost none of the members of the band that recorded that single and two subsequent albums played any part of this cult classic—they lost the rights to the group’s name to their manager David Hassinger. So, while it’s an Electric Prunes record in name, every note is played by L.A. session musicians.
It was his idea to turn religious prayers and liturgies into acid rock symphonies, complete with a groaning string section, marimbas and clavinets. Long adored by psych rock collectors, the album has fallen in and out of print since its initial release. Real Gone Music is finally getting a fresh edition of the album out now, mastered at 45 RPM for, as the hype sticker says, “maximum fidelity.” But that fidelity only gets reduced by pressing the music onto maroon and white vinyl.
