"Mass In F Minor" by The Electric Prunes (1968)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
The Electric Prunes  "Mass In F Minor"  1968 (USA)
The Electric Prunes are a group whose ridiculously psychedelic moniker makes them unforgettable, even if they did only have one real hit (the garage-psych classic "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night", though the follow-up "Get Me To The World On Time" is also beloved of "nuggets" afficianados).  However, the group struggled with "record company issues" and their name was put on this "acid rock Latin mass" which is really the work of jazz drummer and arranger David Axelrod (no, not Obama's campaign manager).
