THE ELECTRIC PRUNES
Records are not for sale - For your viewing pleasure only
The group started in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, though during the group's long disbandment, rumors circulated that they were from Seattle, probably because their records were very popular in that city. Before evolving into The Electric Prunes, the band started life as The Sanctions and then Jim and The Lords. Guitarist James Lowe, bassist Mark Tulin, lead guitarist Ken Williams and drummer Michael Weakley were practicing in a garage one day when a real estate agent named Barbara Harris heard them. She approached the band and said that she knew someone in the record business and that she could introduce them to him. That someone turned out to be Dave Hassinger, the resident engineer at RCA studios, who had helped record many of the Rolling Stones' albums. Hassinger sent them over to Leon Russell's house to record some demos. Convinced that the band couldn't write their own songs, Hassinger brought in some material by professional songwriters Annette Tucker and Nancie Mantz. One of those tunes was “I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night”, a song that was originally conceived as a slow piano ballad. It finally peaked at number 11 in early 1967 and also reached number 49 in the U.K. charts. The success of this single brought the Electric Prunes instant success and the band toured constantly. The 'Mass in F Minor' LP seemed to mark the beginning of the end for the original Electric Prunes. The band started to go in a totally different direction to what it originally been set out to do. James Lowe left the band in the middle of a tour of Texas. The band continued for about two months after he left. It has always been assumed that some of the session musicians on the 'Mass' LP became the New Electric Prunes. Even the band's label - Reprise - were confused with the band's line-up and image at this time. By early 1970, with record buyers and concert goers no longer interested, the band members went their separate ways. new chapter in the Electric Prunes biography opened in 1999 when James Lowe, Mark Tulin and Ken Williams got back in the recording studio for the first time in over 30 years!
