The Story Behind: The Electric Prunes - The Electric Prunes, Ep 101

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Electric Prunes were early psych pioneers in 1960s LA but bad contracts and a lack of creative control thwarted their attempts to hit the big time. The team discuss tremolo, shouted vocal takes, and the Sesame Street recording catalog.
