Stockholm 67 is some kind of a miracle. This is a previously unreleased performance from a nearly unknown US band 37 years ago, back when live recordings barely existed. Well, the sound is astonishing. It could have been recorded in the nineties, you wouldn't tell the difference. And when it comes to music, it's even more amazing. It's raw rock'n'roll, with a light garage touch, strong vocal performance and incredible guitar sound. The band fully captures the essence of British sound and adds to it a bit of American roughness. The Electric Prunes even outperform the Yardbirds on the cover version of Smokestack Lightning. Second only to The Who's Live At Leeds for what regards live albums. (Year of Release: 1967)
Track List:
1. You Never Had It Better
2. I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)

Great stuff, Glad I paid the extra at the time, and got the double vinyl of this, classic album, time to put it on my H/D I think
great to see a prunes post at long last I used have this one until a friend relieved me of it but what goes round comes around eventually now i've got it again thanks to you. I don't suppose you'd have a copy of the prunes "Underground" Long may Digital Meltdown continue as I'll be a regular visitor
