Band Name
The album cover described the band as the new improved Electric Prunes, an in-joke prompted by a contemporary album recorded by Blue Cheer and the preponderance of 'new and improved' products flooding the consumer market, as well as referring to the new lineup. This has led to confusion with some believing the band's name had been altered; however, the group was officially just 'The Electric Prunes'.
The group toured throughout 1969 and 1970 and also released three singles. In early 1971 the Electric Prunes officially disbanded.
Guitarist Ron Morgan died in 1989 while keyboardist John Herron (who was briefly a band member during much of the album recording sessions before leaving) was killed in an automobile accident in the 1990s.
Former band members would, years later, reform the group, while none of the performers on this album would be included.

Famous quotes containing the word band:
“There was a young lady called Gloria
Who was had by Sir Gerald Du Maurier
And then by six men
And Sir Gerald again
And the band of the Waldorf-Astoria.”

“And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
