Your closing words on the remarkable nature of music history echoes a lot of what I believed and been fascinated by for years now. Keep up the great work of showcasing just how intricate these stories in music can be
Thanks for posting on the Prunes. I saw them live circa 2005 and it was easily my favorite show that year. I weas able to speak to Mark Tulin for a couple of minutes after the show to praise, in particular his playing and, even more, Ken Williams guitar playing. He smiled and said how great it was for the band to finally play and be in charge of their own career. He did disown Mass in F Minor by the way. And you did not mention the Stockholm live show on the other side of the cassette. It was probably the best live album made in '67, and the band, especially Ken Williams, could play the songs as well as they did in the studio. Probably my favorite Prunes record.
Well done - my compliments: A lot to comprend here, given the musicians involved were "played" by their labels, for the label's profit motives through licencing agreements ... as typical for that time, and appears to continue to this day
Another great and interesting video. This is one of these rare small channels that just put out quality content without any bullshit, glad I found you a while back!
The first time I ever read a history of the band and I bought all 3 original lp’s when they were released….1st one and the 2 Axelrod strange ones….so 1 have been a fan since 1968! The second record was never released in the UK at the time
Another great video! A lot of the bands you've spotlighted on your channel I don't know, because I eat from the main stream trough, but I still enjoying hearing the lives of bands trying to make it and about your journey to it. So that is my stupid comment!
Congratulations for this video as it covers in depth the original band and its offspins (well, maybe you skipped the Just Good Rock 'n' Roll band's incarnation, but it is probably the less interesting). There are also at least two another Prunes records around, the one with the 1967 Stockholm concert, which seems to be included on your 'mystery casette' and which was originally released in 1997 (bootleg edition?) and Prunes self-released in 2012 'Return to Stockholm' drom a 2004 gig, in Stockholm, again. I am what it could be called a last wave fan of the Prunes, since I discovered them through the 1998 Nuggets Box Set (the expanded 4 CD version of the original double LP release). Since then, I managed to find their records (I guess now I have to explore the Axelrod lineage) and even I managed to attend two concerts, one in Madrid, Spain in 2005 and another in Montreal in 2009. They were actually very good playing live, but by then only James Lowe and Mark Tulin remained from the original lineup.
A cassette with an inlay photocopied on coloured cardstock... that takes me back alone. Used to pick up gig recordings from a bloke in Camden and that is how they came. Some were very good sound desk recordings. Well worth it if you were diving into a new band. I'm sure the guy selling those cassettes sold Jarvis Cocker some tickets a few years later and got mentioned in a song.;)
Amazing work my man you deserve to be on the algorithm. Please keep it up. this is an A1 production and you just came outa nowhere. Just gotta get your promotion up, the content is already perfected
Another interesting video about some topic I had no knowledge of beforehand. Maybe your next video could be about the roule or crydamoure labels (my 2 favorites) or about the history of edm/house music
Finally, I’m back in the world of boots and legs. Why did I leave? Also is it just me or does the chorus to “I Had Too Much To Dream” sound like “Nostalgia” by the Buzzcocks?
The late guitar and bass player were the .prunes pf course jim worked with todd cause punk was really onvented in delco pa enter the snaps ! Who were big bros to todd so yes and the prines bass man was a philly guy mark was amazing and a great soul come forth and go the e p
Hassinger was a good engineer. The Stones loved his production of Aftermath. (Usually regarded as the best sounding Stones album of the 60s.) Jim Lowe must have been paying attention as he was the engineer for Nazz II and on the first three Todd Rundgren albums. (I saw Nazz in 1968 - with US Kaleidoscope - and they were great. I saw the Electric Prunes (circa 2005) after they reformed with Lowe, Tulin (great bass sound) and Ken Williams (probably my favorite underrated guitarist), and they were even better!
Did you ever report the guy who sold you the bootleg tape to EBay? Selling a cassette of a Kenny and the Kasuals album by telling prospective buyers it’s a lost Electric Prunes LP is a lie and a rip-off.
Glad to see you uploaded, love your music content. Some of the best online
I'd never heard of this band before and now I feel like I know everything about them. The amount of research you do for your videos is crazy

He's back!
Jim was also on the nazz

He's right! He says they started using the term punk. But he never claims they used it first or invented it.
great video, love hyper specific music nerd shit!
Speaking of lost music, r/lostwave is a goldmine of lost stuff no one knows the names of.

This comment kinda sucks. I can't even see the relevance to the topic discussed. How will anyone possibly relate?
At least you have that very rare cassette recording
I found my copy right neatly on the sidewalk on trash day with a really old lamp
