Before evolving into The Electric Prunes, the band started life as The Sanctions and then Jim and The Lords.
In March 1965, The Sanctions turned up at Russ Bottomley's house in Woodland Hills, California and recorded twelve classic surf / garage tracks on direct-to-disc acetate including Long Tall Sally, Money, Love Potion Number Nine and Louie, Louie. The line-up of The Sanctions was :
James Lowe (b. San Luis Obispo, California, USA) - vocals, autoharp, guitar Mark Tulin (b. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) - bass, organ Ken Williams (b. Long Beach, California, USA) - lead guitar Michael Weakley aka 'Quint' (b. Kansas City, Missouri, USA) - drums.
James joined up with Mark and Ken first. The latter two were still at Taft High School in the San Fernando Valley. According to Mark Tulin, the first drummer that James, Ken and Mark played with, in an incarnation or two before becoming The Electric Prunes, was a guy called Steve Acuff. He quit / was fired because surfing on Saturday was more important to him than practicing with the band. Following Steve's departure, Mike Weakley was then added on drums.
By the time The Sanctions turned up at Russ Bottomley's house for the second time in November 1965, the band had evolved into Jim and The Lords. A new band member was added to make the band a quintet but very little is known about him :
Dick Hargrave - Organ
Dick Hargrave was brought into the band to make up the band from a quartet (James, Mark, Ken and Quint) into a quintet and the band thought an organ would help fill out the sound and Dick owned one. How he actually got involved with the band is now lost in time but it was probably through a friend of a friend.
Four tracks were recorded during this session - Little (Li'l) Olive, I'm Free, I'm Down and Too Many People - again direct-to-disc.
Sixteen tracks by The Sanctions and Jim and The Lords from 1965 remained unheard and unplayed for 35 years until Heartbeat Productions cleaned up the acetates and released them on vinyl and CD in June 2000 as ( Then Came Electric Prunes )

Enhorabuena, el que la sigue la consigue. Esto sí que es una gema. Traté de encontrarlo por ahí pero ya sabes lo que hay. Un 10 para verysixty y otro para el grupo; LOVE POTION NUMBER NIIIIIINE...
thank you very much Roadrunner and Verysixty, this deserves to be heard, I congratulate you on the post.
Hola Javier,tardo pero llegó , mención especial para verysixty , la verdad que aqui los visitantes no ofrecen discos , pero algunos realmente hacen que esto siga vivo , como en el caso de verysixty , con respecto al disco jamás lo habia escuchado y venia trás de él hacia bastante tiempo y me dejó con la boca abierta , dejando de lado los detalles técnicos hay cierta alegria por parte de estos chicos al tocar las canciones , mucha pasión y locura en ellas , algo muy distinto a lo que se vendria después con Electric Prunes , asi que me sumo a este disfrute ya que para mi también es un hallazgo..saludos
Hey DJ, I have no words ..ENJOY..!!
Thank you very much Carl ,we are all happy for this post.thank you for your visit..enjoy!
You're back? I thought you stopped posting at the end of last year, so glad to see you're still around. Belated thanks for the Mark Four and In Crowd CDs, and definitely going to check this one out as well. One request....would it be possible to include cover scans in the rar files? Certainly be helpful, especially since some of this stuff is very hard-to-find. Regardless, love your blog, will start visiting it regularly again (now that I know you're around) and looking forward to seeing what other goodies you have in store!
Merci beaucoup, monsieur verysixty!
Une grande découverte.
Et l'un des meilleurs endroits.

Hi MrManiac. and thanks for visiting the blog again, enjoy (In Crowd) and (Mark Four), with respect to the cover, no, it is not possible for the simple reason that I have bad connection and all that it take over from the file upload and mostly do not have time for the same reason under the bitrate to 224 or 256 to make the file lighter, I do not have good connections and I find it much myself down some files, where sometimes I go to a shop download, I regret not being able to help you, thanks again for your visit

Hola, pense que no lo volverias a subir, muchas gracias roadrunner
Tarda ponerse al día, pero aqui esta...disfrutalo
Hola Roadrunner,
Deseo expresar que mi grado de satisfacción ha sido doble, pues la búsqueda de este disco me ha permitido conocer este gran Blog.
El disco es admirable, como también lo es el Blog, de cuyos maravillosos textos se puede deducir el grado de dedicación, conocimiento y cariño con que han sido realizados.
Gracias por compartir todo ello.
Mi sincero reconocimiento a tu trabajo.
Un fuerte abrazo.
Bueno muchas gracias Carlos, son muy gratas tus palabras, lo extraño es encontrar un comentario en un post tan viejo, asi que lo hace doblemente importante, gracias nuevamente. Trataré de ir subiendo todo nuevamente ya que luego de la caida de Megaupload quedó casi inactivo el sitio. Gracias por tu visita y comentario
Hola RR
Comprendo tu extrañeza.La razón se debe al interés que siento en estos momentos por profundizar/conocer/recordar la explosión musical que se produjo en la década de los 60s, mas concretamente aquella que no estaba en la primera línea, la menos conocida y que hoy día, el trabajo impagable de personas como tu nos brindan la oportunidad de descubrir y disfrutar.
Una confesión: cuando conocí el Blog buscando este disco (lo bajé el 18-04-12) rápidamente me sedujeron tanto los textos que acompañan a los discos como los Comentarios (esa cálida relación que se establece con los visitantes).
Me enganchó de tal modo, que inicié la lectura del mismo desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad, tomando datos (mi prioridad) y bajando algunos discos (te prometo un saludo cuando los escuche).
Por cierto, si con el tiempo actualizas los links antiguos, te ruego tengas en cuenta el de "The Mystic tide (solid sound)" publicado el 22-10-08 (por favor, sin compromiso).
Disculpa la extensión, el Blog me ha dado tanto que debía esta explicación.
Un fuerte abrazo amigo (como te gusta a ti decir).
Hola Carlos, es muy grato saber que uno puede ayudar un poco con esto de verdad me alegra, pero nadie tiene la obgligación de dejar un comentario, ya veras que en algunos post hay un gran silencio. Lo importante aqui es que si algún visitante esta a gusto como tú y además es educado siempre sera bienvenido, no hace falta que todos den las gracias ya que el blog no fue abierto con eses fin, sino que uno pueda intercambiar información o discos o simplemente hacer una amistad de gente que le gusta la música. Si te haces lector de este blog veras que hay amigos que ya son de la casa y espero que tú también los seas. Casi seguro que entre hoy o máñana te subiré el álbum de The Mystic Tide. Saludos y gracias por tu visita, eres binvenido
Otro regalazo para los oidos y van...
es realmente dificil encontrar un site o blog con tanta dedicación y surtido como el que nos ocupa y encanta. Una vez más mi gratitud y enhorabuena.
Hola Pedro, bueno, muchas gracias. Creo que en su momento fue un acierto en subir esto, además aprovecho para recordar a un amigo del blog (que nunca más supe de él)Verysixty quién fue que escucho mi pedido, a él todas las gracias. Un gran disco con sonido primitivo en los priméros días de los electric prunes. Un abrazo y gracias por tus comentarios
Pass: beatbeat
MuchaS GRACIAS!!! eres un grande.
