Just Good Old Rock and Roll is the fifth studio record album by The Electric Prunes, released in 1969. It was recorded with a lineup put together by Wilson-Fisher management for David Hassinger, who owned the name, during a period in which the original group was disbanded. This album is notable also for taking the Prunes' music decidedly away from the previous experimentation and underground psychedelia into (as the title suggests) more driving rock music. While there are elements of mild psychedelia present, the group's new direction pointed towards the boogie-rock that would be further developed in the 1970s by bands such as the James Gang and Foghat.
Just Good Old Rock and Roll was the first Electric Prunes album almost entirely written and performed by the band members, signaling what could have been a new era of artistic autonomy had the album been greeted more warmly by the record-buying public. While the record received some critical praise at the time, the sales were middling and this would be the final Electric Prunes studio album until another lineup (with members from prior versions of the band) released Artifact decades later, in 2001.
In 2006 Just Good Old Rock and Roll was reissued on cd by Collectors' Choice Music.
