Electric Banana - Even More Electric Banana
Blow Your Mind - More Electric Banana

It's a great thing when someone does your job for you...
So today's dark pearl comes from a precious tip-off from @[JonatanCoe]. Here are his words:
"Behind this bizarre electro-exotic name lie the Pretty Things, who from 1967 to 1978 produced music under this pseudonym. The music of Electric Banana has appeared in various horror and soft-porn films from the late '60s, including "What's Good for the Goose," a 1969 film, the fifth series "The Green Death" (1973) from the tenth season of Doctor Who, where the track "It'll Never Be Me" appears, and "Cause I'm a Man" in George A. Romero's horror film "Dawn of the Dead" (1978)."
Nice, huh!?
What else can be added? That Electric Banana recorded three albums and that, according to Julian Cope's judgment, the one to take home is the third, "Even More Electric Banana." Julian himself takes care to remind us that these tracks came out while the Pretties were working on masterpieces like "S.F. Sorrows" and "Parachute" (talk about creativity)! And that Phil May passed away on May 15 of this shit year. And this is just another way to remember him.
