Editing The Electric Prunes (section)

===Revival and reformation===
Although the band broke up in 1970, their material continued to be circulated through reissues and [[compilation album]]s. Following the inclusion of "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)" as the first track on the seminal ''[[Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968]]'' in 1972, a slow return of interest in the band's music began. In Europe, the band's albums were re-released, with 1986 seeing the reissue of ''Underground'', ''Release of an Oath'', and, essentially The Electric Prunes's first [[greatest hits]] album, ''Long Days Flight''. This was the first album to include their first single, "Ain't It Hard", the non-LP track "You Never Had It Better", and the first to be released on the [[compact disc]] format in 1989.<ref name=flight/>

By 1997, all of the group's albums were available via compact disc. Following the release of the 1997 live album, ''Stockholm '67'', on [[Heartbeat Records]], the original line-up of Tulin, Lowe, Williams, and Weakley (now known as Fortune) reconvened, in 1999, to record new material for the first time in 31 years. After the success of the 2001 compilation album, ''Lost Dreams'', the band began to perform live again along with new members.<ref name=eight>{{cite web|url=http://www.electricprunes.com|title=The Electric Prunes - Part eight|website=Electricprunes.com|access-date=June 23, 2015}}</ref>

On October 31, 2001, the band released the album, ''[[Artifact (album)|Artifact]]'', which included several guest musicians, most notably former [[Moby Grape]] guitarist, [[Peter Lewis (musician)|Peter Lewis]]. Deemed the "one we never got to make", the album was a cohesive take on the band's psychedelic sound.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/artifact-mw0000370909|title=Artifact - Review|website=[[AllMusic]]|author=Greenwald, Mark|access-date=June 23, 2015}}</ref> In August 2002, the group toured Europe for the first time since 1968, with concerts in the UK and Greece and, in 2003, a DVD looking into the UK portion of their European tour, called ''Rewired'', was released. Additional albums were released over the years, including the [[concept album]], ''[[California (The Electric Prunes album)|California]]'', in 2004, and their most experimental album since The Electric Prunes's reformation, ''Feedback'', in 2006.<ref>{{citation|title=''Feedback'' (CD booklet)|year=2006|publisher=Prunetwang Records cat. # 8696981 |author=Lowe, James}}</ref>

On February 26, 2011, Tulin died aged 62 from a heart attack while volunteering at the [[University of Southern California]] Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. After Tulin's death, the band went on hiatus, but returned to touring in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/mar/17/mark-tulin-obituary|title=Mark Tulin obituary |website=Theguardian.com|date=17 March 2011 |access-date=June 23, 2015}}</ref> On May 22, 2014, the band released ''WaS'', which featured new material inspired by the group's tour in Tokyo, Japan. The album includes the last recordings with Tulin, and the two live tracks, "Smokestack Lightning" and "Bullet Thru the Backseat".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=174603|title=Psychedelic Music Legends The Electric Prunes Release New Live CD 'WaS'|website=Mi2n.com|access-date=June 23, 2015}}</ref>  Preston Ritter died in 2015, aged 65.<ref name=ultimateclassicrock>{{cite news|url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/preston-ritter-dies/|author=Dave Lifton|title=Preston Ritter, Electric Prunes Drummer, Dies at 65|date=March 31, 2015|website=Ultimateclassicrock.com}}</ref>
