Electric Prunes Reissues

(PR) When you mention the Electric Prunes, the Nuggets-era garage/psychedelic hits �Too Much To Dream Last Night� and �Get Me to the World on Time� generally come to mind. But unlike many of their one-or-two-hit contemporaries, the Electric Prunes never really went away. Or at least the name stayed alive while the personnel changed completely. It�s all part of one of the most bizarre stories in rock �n� roll history. But before we elaborate, we�d like to announce that the Prunes� two final Warner Bros./Reprise albums � Release of an Oath (1968) and Just Good Old Rock and Roll (1969) � will be reissued on Collectors� Choice Music on March 13, completing the label�s reissues of all things Prune.
The original Electric Prunes, of "Too Much To Dream" fame, were a talented and inventive band that made several good records under difficult circumstances. They were not, as many sources inaccurately claimed, an anonymous studio project or a front group for behind-the-scenes players. They were a real band that found itself in a bind because they were signed to a production deal with producer/engineer Dave Hassinger, who in turn signed them to Warner/Reprise through his own production deal. Hassinger also produced the Grateful Dead for Warners.
