They may have made one of the defining records of the psychedelic Summer of Love with the US chart-topping 45 ‘Incense And Peppermints’, but The Strawberry Alarm Clock were far more than one-hit wonders.
This new Tune In release couples their first two albums, the inevitably-titled debut set Incense And Peppermints and the sophomore release Wake Up...It’s Tomorrow, and adds a trio of bonus tracks culled from contemporaneous singles.
The 16 page booklet features a new essay on the band that, with the aid of fresh quotes from the leading players, examines the SAC’s labyrinthine tale in assiduous detail, including the full, controversial story behind that iconic single and details of the band’s exploits on the road with the likes of the Beach Boys and Buffalo Springfield.
Coupled with mastertape sound quality and some extremely rare photos, this is the definitive early Strawberry Alarm Clock package. Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around...
