The Electric Prunes LP on Reprise "Steamboat" label in Strong VG+ condition up for sale. Play tested, and graded on playback! As the throbbing buzz of Ken Williams'

tremolo-laden fuzztone guitar creeps from one side of the sound

spectrum to the other, the Electric Prunes kick off their debut album

with their first (and biggest) hit single, and if Electric Prunes: I Had

Too Much to Dream (Last Night) never hits the high point of its title

track again, the next 11 songs confirm that these guys were in the first

echelon of American garage bands of the '60s. On nearly every song, Williams and fellow guitarists Weasel Spagnola and Jim Lowespin a web of gloriously strange sounds, making the most of a battery of stomp boxes, and bassist Mark Tulin and drummer Preston Ritter provide a solid, percolating backdrop for their psychedelic soundscapes. Producer David Hassinger gives them a great studio sound, full of details, and the Prunes rise to the occasion no matter what's thrown at them. Few if any bands from the '60s garage came up with a sound as distinctive as the Electric Prunes
