Soon after, Marty Katon came aboard on drums as well as former Nightcrawlers (“Little Black Egg”) front man Jimmy Pitman on guitar and vocals. When the producers brought in writers from outside the group, it broke up the band. Most find side 1 uninspired, but “Lady Of Lake” was a great song with nice harmonies and that added SAC touch. “Wooden Woman,” “Heated Love,” “Eulogy” and “Shallow Impressions” (a stunning whirlwind instrumental) are among my favorites. The first side is dominated by outside writers except for “Million Smiles.” Side 2, however, is pure Alarm Clock and finds the group delivering some of its finest moments. The last LP to feature George Bunnell and Randy Seol, who decided to exit at the end of the recordings. Also around this time, the band was featured in the movie “Psych-Out,” in which they performed the theme song and played at the club. Much like their first LP, the group dominated the song writing and great tunes are the fore! This was the first LP by the now five-piece Alarm Clock Gary Lovetro left prior to the recording of this LP. Also Sundazed 5439-CLR (reissue).Ĭontaining what many consider to be Strawberry Alarm Clock’s finest moments on record, “Wake Up” is an excellent LP from start to end. Unwind With the Clock Wake Up … It’s Tomorrow An excellent LP with great playing and heavenly harmonies. Also on the LP is Steve Bartek, who co-wrote many of the songs with George Bunnell and plays flute on some tracks. The song was sung by a friend of the band, Greg Munford, who was in Shapes of Sound and later Crystal Circus. The LP contained the #1 national hit “Incense And Peppermints,” written by members Mark Weitz and Ed King with lyrics by John Carter. “Incense and Peppermints” was the first LP released by the band and the only album of their career to make an impact on the album charts.
