Release of an Oath is the fourth studio album by The Electric Prunes, released in 1968. The work follows the musical pattern of their Mass in F Minor. [1] The liner notes describe it as a rock music setting of a service intended to release a penitent from an oath "made under duress and in violation of his principles".
The album is subtitled "The Kol Nidre - a prayer of antiquity", and is often referred to simply as "The Kol Nidre". The actual Kol Nidre prayer, on which the first track is based, begins the order of service of Yom Kippur in the yearly cycle of Jewish religious observance.
Despite the subtitle and popular name, the remaining tracks of the album are based on a mix of Christian and Jewish liturgies.
Although credited to the Electric Prunes, the album is largely the work of composer and producer David Axelrod and a group of session musicians. Personnel included:
