THE ELECTRIC PRUNES - "RELEASE OF AN OATH"


Artist: The Electric Prunes
Album: Release of An Oath
Label: Reprise
Catalog: RS 6318
Year: 1969
Genre: progressive
Grading: VG+ cover / VG+ LP
Sleeve design: Ed Thrasher
Cover photo: Sid Avery
Grade: **** stars



Yeah, it was credited to The Electric Prunes, but for all intents and purposes this was a David Axelrod release.  And it's a fascinating album.  The album's secular nature means it won't appeal to everyone and the Sid Avery cover photo is going to have the same effect.  Interestingly it took me years to figure out the hands were open in praise.
