“STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK” OCCUPIES A PECULIAR NICHE IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK.
THEIR NAME IS AS WELL KNOWN TO ANYONE WHO LIVED THROUGH THE LATE SIXTIES
PSYCHEDELIC ERA AS THAT OF ALMOST ANY GROUP ONE WOULD CARE TO MENTION,
MOSTLY OUT OF ITS SHEER, SILLY TRIPPINESS AS A NAME AND THEIR ONE MAJOR HIT,
“INCENSE AND PEPPERMINTS”, WHICH TODAY IS VIRTUALLY THE TONAL EQUIVALENT
OF A SUMMER OF LOVE FLASHBACK. BUT THERE WAS A REAL GROUP THERE, WITH
MEMBERS WHO HAD PLAYED FOR A LONG TIME ON THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BAND
SCENE, WHO WERE PROFICIENT ON THEIR INSTRUMENTS AND WHO SANG WELL AND
GENERATED FOUR WHOLE ALBUMS OF WHICH AT LEAST THREE WERE WORTH HEARING
MORE THAN ONCE. THE BAND´S ORIGINS GO BACK TO GLENDALE, CA, IN THE MID-´60S,
AND A GROUP THEN KNOWN AS “THE SIXPENCE”. IT WAS 1965 AND ALL THINGS BRITISH
WERE STILL A SELLING POINT, SO THE NAME MADE AS MUCH SENSE AS ANYTHING ELSE.
THIS IS THE FOURTH AND FINAL LONG-PLAYER OF NEW MATERIAL FROM THE GROUP...
HOUSED IN GATEFOLD COVER THIS 1969 STEREO PRESSING COME WITH SUPERB VINYL
RECORD, THE COVER SHOWS VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF USE AND HAS SMALL CUT-OUT HOLE.
