By a 2:1 margin, The Electric Prunes’ “I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night”<\/strong> 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<\/em>, the Best Song on the Original Nuggets<\/em> Compilation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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)<\/a>, chew on this great little story that Prunes’ singer James Lowe<\/strong> passed along last week, when notified of his band’s inter-division showdown:<\/p>\n

After I left the EP I engineered the next 2 Nazz albums, Nazz Nazz<\/em>\u00a0and Nazz III<\/em> (and 4 subsequent Todd Rundgren albums after that).<\/p>\n

Todd played me “Open My Eyes” to show me what they had done on their\u00a0first album. I had never heard it.\u00a0Good record. Small world!<\/p>\n

Thanks for remembering.<\/p>\n
