The right song at the right time.......2007-04-02

If you asked me what song epitomizes the sixties, I'd answer "Incense and Peppermints".

I remember having the original album my mom bought me. I was about 15/16 at the time. My impression of the song was that it was slick and trendy-sounding and that these guys were cashing in quick on it. Like a "Time" magazine cover article set to music. Rumor had it that the lead singer on "Incense and Peppermints" was hanging around the studio in SF. The band persuaded him to sing it and he was never heard from again. In fact, no one apparently even knew his name. Perfect publicity.

The best of the late 60's.......2006-12-29

This is a compilation, but the original Incense and Peppermints album was really revolutinary for the time. I will date myself now, but I remember hearing this song on the radio in our car and was mesmerized by it. It was the first Lp I had ever bought. I actually wore out the groves on the Lp and came across another a few years ago. To this day, almost 40 years after I first heard the Strawberry Alarm Clock, I still like Incense and Peppermints as well as their other songs. Their style ranges from acid rock to jazz. The musicians are all very talented and the band works as a team as opposed to many of the bands of the era. Their recordings are really high quality and certainly not over processed like a lot of today's music is. SAC was in an era where 60's music was in transition from the early Beatles and old time R&R sound to a more acid rock sound. Lyrics like 'tune in, turn on, turn your eyes around.. look at yourself' were typical of SAC's lyrical style as well as the thinking of the times. It was an odd time. On one side, we had Woodstock, mini-skirts, muscle cars and fun fun fun, But, on the dark side, there were civil rights problems and the Viet Nam war. This transitional period was a kind of awakening for the country and for music. Although not as popular as names like the Doors, Jefferson Airplane and Steppenwolf, the Strawberry Alarm Clock still had a huge following. My only regret is that I didn't get a chance to see them (or the Doors!) when they came to the city where I lived during the late 60's. This album is a nice compilation of SAC's hits. The songs are as fresh and original sounding as they were almost 40 years ago.

Psychedelic Plus.......2006-11-29

This compilation album of Strawberry Alarm Clock tracks is no doubt rooted in the psychedelic sixties. The band is most known for `Incense and Peppermint,' but this album shows that there was much more to the band. Strawberry Alarm Clock's talent lies in composition. The album showcases several distinct styles that they blend with psychedelic rock. The song `Starting out the Day' is a good example of this. The song starts out with blaring horns and percussion that reminds me of early Herb Albert and the upbeat tempo and production could be a Tom Jones production. Another good song is `Barefoot in Baltimore.' Again, this song is less psychedelic and more inclusive of other genres of the era (a little Burt Bacharach maybe). Because I cite other artists does not mean that SAC was impersonating, rather they were able to incorporated many different styles into their music. If you like the psychedelic, jam rock of the late sixties, you will appreciate the music, to all others it may seem cliché and dated.

IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR.......2006-07-19

Ok, so its not great, but it was a very good year for all the
hippy trippy lyrics and paisley shirts and the commercial alternative was so much better. Still, its a fun album and needs to be put down, man!!!

riot67 is clueless........2005-12-18

yes these songs do sound a bit dated, but guess what? they're from the 60's...wow, imagine it sounding like the 60's. it's not all hippy stuff and even if it is its still better than hip hop and todays pop crap. oh, and 80's new wave is a lot better than hip hop and modern pop as well. cheers.

here's another example of: IF YOU PAY THIS PRICE.....YOU HAVE MORE BUDGET THAN BRAINS.......2006-04-22

Just as I commented about Cactus-Fully Unleashed....this is also a very excellent cd.....the best this band came up with....but why it wont get reissued is beyond me. Bide your time and you'll see a reissue eventually....

Use some common sense here.....if you pay $149.00 for a cd....you really do have more budget than brains....dont give these greedy sellers the last laugh.......wait for the reissue...or just go and download the songs from a free music site...This is the part of the music industry I despise....greedy opportunists who jack the price of cd's thru the roof....because they are no longer in print.

GOD IS ALIVE & WELL AND LIVES IN A SUGAR CUBE.......2004-12-06

THIS IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL PSYCHEDELIC MASTERPIECE FROM 1967 THAT CAPTURES THE MUSIC, ART, FASHION AND SUBJECT MATTER OF THE "PSYCHEDELIC RENAISSANCE" AT IT'S PEAK. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE 2 COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL ALBUM (ONE STILL SEALED), I HAD TO PICK UP THIS IMPORT ON CD JUST FOR THE GREAT SONG "LOSE TO LIVE" WHICH HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY OMITTED FROM COMPILATIONS OF THE S.A.C. EVERY TUNE ON THIS ALBUM IS WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION! I STILL BELIEVE THE KEYBOARD (ORGAN) TRACK TO "INCENSE & PEPPERMINTS" WAS PLAYED ON A FARFISA, NOT A VOX. EVEN THOUGH THE S.A.C WERE INFLUENCED BY THE BEACH BOYS, THE BEACH BOY DUDES COULD NOT MIRROR WHAT THE S.A.C WERE ABOUT! AS FOR THE IMPORT CD OF I&P, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE LYRICS INSIDE THE INSERT BOOKLET AND THESE JAPANESE IMPORTS INCLUDE INCORRECT AND SOMETIMES ASININE INTERPRETATIONS OF WHAT THEY THINK THE LYRICS ARE. THEY DO A SUPERB JOB IN THE SOUND REPRODUCTION AND PACKAGING, BUT THEY ARE FOOLISH AS NOT TO GO THE EXTRA MILE TO OBTAIN THE ORIGINAL CORRECT LYRICS TO THESE SONGS. A DOMESTIC CD REISSUE, FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL ALBUM, ON UNI/MCA WOULD BE IDEAL, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE ISSUED HERE. IMPORTS ARE IMPORTS FOR A REASON. IF YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE LYRICS TO THE SONG I&P, PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE SOME ASININE VERSIONS OF THE LYRICS ON THE INTERNET.

Totally agree with Balakrishna.......2004-10-17

I was barely a small kid in the flowerpower time, but since I was a 5 or 6 year old boy I used to listen to this record in home because my uncle like it VERY much. That's the only record you can find in my uncle's library twice. One has a big hole in the first 3 tracks, so I imagine that's why he bought it again. Recovering this CD unveils my childhood again, but most of all I can appreciate again this music with this extremely good musicians. I recomend World's on fire and Pass time with Sac. At last, the original album I saw in my uncle's library!!!!!!!!

As for this CD, I love it.

Best 10 Alarm Clock Songs on one Record........2004-09-10

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.
