The Electric Prunes Rediscovered - Again.

Way back in the ye olde 2000s the Birdman label reissued/released a couple killer CDs from the1960s psychedelic garage band the Electric Prunes. Released in 2001 Lost Dreams is a 23 track collection of the band's best songs from their first two Reprise albums, ultra-rare singles sides, demos and a radio spot for Vox wah-wah pedals. Then a year later in 2002 came the amped-up-fuzzed-out live album Stockholm '67. Both releases should be considered essential for fans of the band or the genre.

1. Shadows
2. Ain't It Hard
3. Little Olive
4. I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)
5. I've Got A Way Of My Own
6. Luvin'
7. I Happen To Love You

17. Train For Tomorrow
