Product Description

Album Description

This LA band scored one of the Summer of Love-era hits with their #1 Incense and Peppermints , but one listen to this 1967 LP proves that there was a lot more to this group than that anthem. Gorgeous melodies mingle with trippy soundscapes, filthy guitar fuzz and dense harmonies as you also hear Lose to Live; Birds in My Tree; Unwind the Clock , and more. Limited edition, so snap to it, psych fans!

4.0 out of 5 stars "Incense and peppermints, the color of time...", April 5 2006

This review is from: Incense And Peppermints (Audio CD)

Alright, so they weren't Zeppelin, but there were alot of bands around in the 60s-70s that made great music and weren't 'huge'. Strawberry Alarm Clock was made up of 6 young kids at the height of the Flower Power era who just wanted to have some fun. 'Incense & Peppermints' became a worldwide hippie anthem, and is still loved today. This album holds many hidden gems; 'Strawberries Mean Love', 'Good Morning Starshine', and the trippy 'Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow' (my favorite).
Anyway, give these guys a chance, and give this album a chance. You may just be surprised...

5.0 out of 5 stars Best 10 Alarm Clock Songs on one Record., Sep 9 2004

This review is from: Incense & Peppermints (Audio CD)

This still is on my top 10 list of favourite albums.10 dynamite songs that literally flow together. Their famous eight minute plus 'jam tune ': " The Worlds' On Fire", will blow away anyone who likes the music of that era! However my review may be censored, as I am going to record my record album,(vinyl), of this one on to a CD format, as I have looked after it well and it is still good quality! Reason being. I buy some Japanese imports, and love the fact that the Japanese are leaders at getting this ' obscure ' stuff out there for us, but I'll only consider buying a CD like this;(10 or 11),cuts for $25.00 Canadian or less. That price just kills it for me, even though this is my most sought after album - to - CD wishlist item! - Ron ' Rock ' Larocque,Orleans,On.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, Nov 6 2003

By

angels_of_avalon (NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Incense And Peppermints (Audio CD)

The Strawberry Alarm Clock's hit "Incense and Peppermints" is without a doubt one of the defining songs of the 60s "peace, love and hypnotics" counterculture. And it still holds up not only as an artifact but as a solid rock number. Unfortunately, it's the only truly "solid" piece the Strawberry Alarm Clock can be credited with as their album appears to be simply a vehicle for their one and only hit.
It's not that the album is below average. By no means. Its just that among some of the outstanding albums released during the era, Incense and Peppermints lacks originality.

If you're just looking for the hits without the filler, check out the Nuggets boxed sets

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget what the other reviews say! This is a great CD!
This CD really is great. It has classic music from the sixties. Strawberry Alarm Clock wasn't just a one-hit wonder band. Their music is groovy. Read more
