Album
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 took 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, Cactus and
Foghat.
Just Good Old Rock and Roll was the first Electric Prunes
album almost entirely written and performed by the band members. While
the record received some critical praise at the time, its 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.
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, and
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.
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.
