The Electric Prunes - S/T (1967 US Mono) | Psychedelic Rock | Vinyl Stream

The Electric Prunes' self-titled debut came out in early 1967 on Reprise, catalog R 6248. This copy is an original US mono pressing on the tri-color Steamboat label, and it has the first-press back cover misprint where the printed tracklist doesn't match what's actually pressed on the vinyl. That's one of the cleaner identifiers for the earliest copies and it's the kind of detail that makes a difference to collectors. The band was out of Los Angeles and had already landed a legitimate hit single before this album was in stores - "I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)" was all over radio in early 1967. That fuzz and oscillator opening is one of the most immediately recognizable sounds in American garage psych. "Get Me To The World On Time" is the other track everyone comes back to. The mono mix is where the record lives - the stereo version spreads things out in a way that dilutes some of the density the songs were built on. Worth hearing the difference if you've only ever had the stereo.
