The Strawberry Alarm Clock is best known for their #1 hit, "Incense And Peppermints." A one-hit wonder,
nevertheless, they released four albums in the late 1960s. The 1990 release of Incense And Peppermints is a "Best
Of" compilation, with tracks from those four late 1960s albums: Incense And Peppermints" (1967), Wake Up It's
Tomorrow (1968), The World In A Sea Shell (1968), Good Morning Starshine (1969). In much later decades,
they released two albums: Wake Up Where You Are (2012), and Where's One? (2026). They were promoted on
The WSVNRadio Hall of Fame, Volume
23 compilation, with "Hummin Happy."
Incense And Peppermints Album: "Incense And Peppermints, "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow," "Birds In My
Tree," "Strawberries Mean Love. Wake Up It's Tomorrow Album: "Tomorrow," "Sit With The Guru."
The World In A Seashell Album: "Barefoot In Baltimore." Good Morning Starshine Album:
"Good Morning Starshine" (the song from the musical Hair). "Bird Man From Alkatrash" was the B-side
to "Incense And Peppermints." "Starting Out The Day" was a single released in 1969. Note: Both "The
Bird Man of Alkatrash" and "Starting Out The Day" were released on their appropriate studio Japanese albums.
By 1967, there was a new style of music: Psychedelia. Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, the list
goes on. Psychedlic sounds, drug-related lyrics. "Incense And Peppermints" does have that touch of Psychedelia.
And you're just curious to hear more of their music, being the fact that you only heard of the "Incense And
Peppermints" song on the radio. With that, "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow" continues the heavy Psychedelic style.
More on the Rock and Psychedelic gets "Birds In My Tree."
"Sit With The Guru" is more Rock than Psychedelic, Maybe British sounding rock, although they were an
American band. "Tomorrow" definitely fits the late-1960s Rock and Psychedelic. Dreamy Psychedelic has the next
track, "Barefoot In Baltimore." If the group The Association ever went more on the Psychedelic side (or did they?)
they'd probably sound like this. The classic Hair hit "Good Morning Starshine" has the sAC giving it their
own spin and late-1960s sound. They make it their own.
"Bird Man Of Alkatrash" (Alkatrash referring to Alcatraz) is more of a pure Rock Psychedelic track. It also
sounds like British Rock, especially towards the end. Another Psychedelic gem is "Strawberries Mean Love,"
as it has a somewhat Crosby, Stills Nash (and/or) Young style, especially the electric guitars. Ending the album is
another Rock/Psycedelic track, "Starting Out The Day."
The compilation of Strawberry Alarm Clock's Incense And Peppermints is Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Pop. Definitely
more of Psychedelia Rock, the late-1960s defined Rock music into the Psychedlic Era. Strawberry Alarm Clock was part of
that. And even though they are only known for one song, the other tracks from their first four album displays this band
as a very good and impressive Rock band from that time period. If you're into Psychedelic music, listen to this best of
compilation of Strawberry Alarm Clock's music. Discover that there was more than just that one "one-hit wonder" song.
