Collectors Choice Music - With the Prunes' first three albums firmly ensconced on our label roster (they're among our bestsellers), it only made sense for us to go after the last two albums this band made! Richie Unterberger's notes include quotes from legendary producer David Axelrod and drummer Richard Whetstone. Two of our most-requested Collectors' Choice Music exclusives!

Electric Prunes Release Of An Oath, written by David Axelrod is re-released in 2006

Much of the same team that made the notorious 'Mass in F Minor' album were around for this 1968 album, though none of them were in the original band! But it’s who was in the studio for this one that’s important: producer/arranger David Axelrod, engineer Dave Hassinger and most notably guitarist Howard Roberts, who lets loose with some absolutely insane guitar solos. 'Mass in F Minor' took as its text a Catholic Mass; this one adapts the Kol Nidre, the sacred Jewish prayer recited on the eve of Yom Kippur…the ’60s didn’t get too much more far-out than this! Includes 'Kol Nidre; Holy Are You; General Confessional; Individual Confessional; Our Father, Our King; The Adoration', and 'Closing Hymn'.

June 14, 1969

Just Good Old Rock and Roll- The last album by The Electric Prunes for Reprise Records was released in 1969, shortly after the 'Release of An Oath.' Response to the album was mixed, due largely to the radical change in musical style when compared to the previous 'Prunes' albums. However by this time Reprise was doing little to promote the group, even though we continued like good soldiers and toured to support the release. It became evident that the identity of the group had become blurred. In my final year with the group I was drumming and managing the band's business affairs. I had enough and moved to British Columbia to join a band that Brett Wade had assembled.
