Though the Electric Prunes were responsible for some of the boldest and most experimental pop of the late 60s, they always were, more than just about any band of their ilk, a singles-oriented act, at least in their earliest incarnation. In fact, according to vocalist James Lowe, the engineers at American Recording, where many of their early singles were recorded, used to transmit the single mixes to a radio in a car parked outside the studio to make sure the songs sounded good in the medium through which most people would hear them. As a result, the Prunes singles were punchier than their album counterparts, and were, above all mono-yet to date, no legitimate collection has ever compiled these singles, many of which have never been on CD in their original mix. Now, for the first time, Real Gone Music has assembled all 23 of their original single sides for Reprise, which span several band lineups and several legendary producers (Dave Hassinger, David Axelrod) with very different visions, yet remain of remarkably consistent high quality. Richie Unterbergers notes include track commentary from the band and shots of the original singles themselves. Special bonus: the bands demonstration of the Vox Wah-Wah Pedal! First-ever legitimate collection of their wondrously adventuresome singles. Presented in original Mono mixes, which were markedly different from album versions. Liner notes include track commentary by band members. Photos of band and singles included.
