Talk:The Electric Prunes

Easy Rider track
This article states that the Prunes track on Easy Rider is an Axelrod track from the Mass... album, but stlyrics says it was their earlier hit single. Investigating; I saw the film many times but can't remember, and we didn't hear this hit at all in Aust, the first we really knew of the Prunes was Mass. Andrewa 20:26, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Aha! According to Amazon, there were two Prunes tracks used... Kyrie Eleison from the Mass, and I Had Too Much To Dream. Andrewa 23:06, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

That is false. "Kyrie Eleison" is the only Prunes track on the Easy Rider soundtrack. The tracks on the bonus disc of the 2-disc reissue of the soundtrack LP aren't actually in the film.24.161.86.156 18:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Middle names
why are the middle names of some people just always so hard to find? 71.112.224.112 05:10, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

The "Artifact" Album of 2002
The Album is a compilation album with 26 other bands, part of the 'Nuggets' series. The proper name is "Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968" The original release date was 1972 on vinyl, I'd assume the 2002 date refers to the CD release date Severndroog (talk) 10:41, 19 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Severndroog (talk • contribs) 10:37, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

"Artifact" is nothing to do with "Nuggets". It's an album the Prunes made in 2002 after their reunion.80.189.53.137 (talk) 23:45, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Origins of band name
In my view, the first question that many potential readers of this article would ask is "where did they get such a stupid name?". I tried to cover that by adding in the Jim Lowe quote here, but that has now been removed as over-long and a potential copyvio. I still think that, in such a thorough article, more needs to be said than simply that it was originally a joke. How about: "...He suggested to the group that they change their name, and they considered a list of alternatives. According to Lowe, the name Electric Prunes started off as a joke, but he eventually convinced other band members, saying, 'It's the one thing everyone will remember. It's not attractive, and there's nothing sexy about it, but people won't forget it.''"   Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with the addition, I only removed the original quote per Ritchie333's suggestion, but I didn't have anything against a more thorough explanation.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:00, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
