By a 2:1 margin, The Electric Prunes’ “I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night” beat The Nazz’s “Open My Eyes” in the Side 1 vs Side 4 Nuggets Divisional Playoff Series to progresses to the Finals in Rock Town Hall’s playoffs to determine, once and for all, the Best Song on the Original Nuggets Compilation.

While the rock world patiently awaits the outcome of the album’s other Divisional Playoff Series, between the Thirteenth Floor Elevators’ “You’re Gonna Miss Me” and the Count Five’s “Psychotic Reaction” (voting runs through 11:59:59 pm this Saturday, August 27), chew on this great little story that Prunes’ singer James Lowe passed along last week, when notified of his band’s inter-division showdown:

After I left the EP I engineered the next 2 Nazz albums, Nazz Nazz and Nazz III (and 4 subsequent Todd Rundgren albums after that).

Todd played me “Open My Eyes” to show me what they had done on their first album. I had never heard it. Good record. Small world!

Thanks for remembering.

  1. A few more hours left to vote, but is that trash talk I hear coming from the Count Five’s bench?

    Hey, once we move onto and complete the finals to determine, once and for all, the Best Song on the Original Nuggets we’ve got a REALLY cool treat coming your way. Stay tuned!

  2. Count Five’s “Psychotic Reaction” is headed to the FINALS!

  4. The Hall says, “You’re welcome.” We may have a few more tales from participants in this record in the coming days!
