Strawberry Alarm Clock was a psychedelic rock band from Los Angeles, known for their 1967 hit “Incense and Peppermints”.
The group originally consisted of Ed King (lead guitar), Mark Weitz (keyboards), Lee Freeman (rhythm guitar), Gary Lovetro (bass), and Randy Seol (drums). On their first and most famous single, “Incense and Peppermints”, lead vocals were sung by Greg Munford, a 16-year-old friend of the band. The song reached #1 on the Billboard pop singles chart in late 1967. After that success the band added George Bunnell (bass and rhythm guitar) before making their first LP in 1967, also titled Incense and Peppermints. Bunnell would also become their main songwriter.
Membership changes were many. Gary Lovetro left the band before the second album, Wake Up It’s Tomorrow (also 1967). The single “Tomorrow” from this album was a minor hit and their only other top 40 appearance, reaching #23 in early 1968. Although the group followed up with more LPs in 1968 (The World in a Seashell) and 1969 (Good Morning Starshine) the band had begun to fall apart and the audience was mostly gone. In various forms the group managed to keep performing until 1971, when it finally broke up.
The Strawberry Alarm Clock made two notable appearances in films, first in the 1968 Jack Nicholson movie Psych-Out, where they played several songs, including “Incense and Peppermints”, “Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow”, and “The Pretty Song from Psych-Out”, and then in the 1970 Russ Meyer camp classic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

Incense and peppermints totaly blew my mind a few times when I felt the song on L$# . LOL ! Let it all flow in and out of your forhead ! Rainy Day Mushroom Pillows is another good one, but 'Tomorrow' is one you should check out. It has some crazy acid euphoria lyrics to it ," ( We live in a world of canivals and clowns with buildings to the sky that make us want to fly ) " , It sounds very la la land and the song ends with a trippy sound effect.

Strawberry Alarm Clock is underrated, too bad that so many people just mind the song "Incense and Peppermints" and not the rest of the great album... is here anyone who know how I can get the other albums? Strawberry Alarm Clock stuff is very hard to find (I mean real CD's, not mp3)

@rhobodub: I just wanted to mention the same ... but last.fm supports this because incense and peppermints is the only song which can be played directly.

Don’t understand why SAC became famous only for one song. They have so many marvelous songs. Even much better than “Incense and Peppermints”.
