I remember my brother used to have an album by The Electric Prunes. But it didn't contain "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night." Instead it was called "Kol Nidre," the long service performed on Yom Kippur for Jews marking their New Year.
What a very odd thing for a rock group to record. I have no idea what became of that LP, but it was certainly strange. Here's proof that it once existed.
I Just confirmed on wiki that the above album was recorded by a totally revamped version of the group and was influenced by the relative success of their previous Mass in F Minor album. A cut from Mass was included on the Easy Rider soundtrack and that might have been the first Prunes tune I owned. Have since acquired their two hits on various comps.

Think I figured out the criteria for those Bandstand charts, it seemed to be based on currently released hits or even near hits and their dancibility.
They had a segment called "rate a record" which featured then unknown or new groups and most of the acts featured in this segment as I have heard on YT were duds.
Here's two interesting singles Arnold Layne by Pink Floyd which lost to it's unknown and unacclaimed competitor and Incense and Peppermints by the Strawberry Alarm Clock which the kids immediately recognized as a hit.
