{full album} [MONO MIX] Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense & Peppermints (1967)

Here is a new transfer from an original mono copy of the first SAC LP on Uni Records. I think the mono is a stereo fold-down mix, but it’s still not a bad listen. This band famously featured Ed King, later of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Paul Buff also appears as engineer, making a distant Zappa connection. The title track “Incense & Peppermints“ (which only exists in mono) is the song that got me interested in psychedelic rock music -- truly a masterpiece of the genre! For those looking for a nice digital version of this LP, I recommend tracking down a copy of this early stereo CD, which has better sound than the more common 2011 Sundazed reissue: 1) The World’s On Fire – 00:00 2) Birds In My Tree – 08:23 3) Lost To Live – 10:19 4) Strawberries Mean Love – 13:35 // 5) Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow – 16:39 6) Paxton’s Back Street Carnival – 19:46 7) Hummin’ Happy – 21:50
