2. They were on the Easy Rider soundtrack, awesome actually

They did a rock version of a mass -- Mass in F minor. That is totally cool if you ask me.

11. Yeah

The Kyrie Eleison is absolutely fabulous.

[On the Road]

16. I Love the Kyrie, Too

that's great music.

3. Too Much to Dream

They made a bunch of classic albums.

6. lots of psychadelic fuzz guitar on that song !!

and for the longest time I thought they were singing, 'I had too much to drink last night',,,one of those, must have been the bad transistor radio.

4. Very classic, collectible Psych records...

I hope they get their fair share for what they wrote...

5. When They Disbanded - Some Guys I Knew Became The EP

not one original memeber was left. All new guys - they didn't last very long.

14. The New Improved Electronic Prunes was a good band

I love the song "Tracks"

7. Good for them!!! Record companies and agents

have ripped off far too many musicians and often rolled up big profits for themselves.

8. They've actually reformed, and are playing in August...

At Little Steven's Underground Garage Music Festival...I'm a goin' for sure...

9. That's pretty funny...

Iggy, The NY Dolls, The Pretty Things... Presented By Dunkin' Donuts!

Alas, we are in a new millenium!

12. Dolls are doubtful...

Considering that Killer Kane died last week. They got two dates into a reunion tour and Kane dies. Sad.

David Jo might try to do it with a stand in, but they may decide to just pass on Steven's festival.

10. I'm a musician-what used to be the lifeblood of the music business

in the entertainment industry.

I was a young musician cohort of The Electric Prunes and currently am on SSDI-as an artist (I also write) I'm still pissed-off about "opportunities" in music that now belong to young, attractive meatpuppets and computer programmers ruled over by an organized crime "Boss".

Hope they get some justice for their work.

13. some of David Axelrod's greatest work!

was with the Prunes... good stuff.

15. I Remember the Prunes!

"Too Much to Dream" came out when I was in High School.

How the hell did I get this old?
