AllMusic[1]

Incense and Peppermints is the first album by psychedelic rock band Strawberry Alarm Clock. Released in late 1967, the album reached No. 11 on the Billboard 200 album charts[2] and included the band's No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit[3] "Incense and Peppermints". In addition to the six official members of the band, the album also featured the flute playing of Steve Bartek, who co-wrote four songs on the album with bass player George Bunnell.[2]

The tracks "The World's on Fire", "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow" and "Incense and Peppermints" were all featured in the motion picture Psych-Out, along with a new song, "Pretty Song from Psych-Out", which later appeared on the band's second album, Wake Up...It's Tomorrow.

A compilation album of the same name (albeit spelled with an ampersand) was released by MCA in 1990. To date, the album has been released on CD only in Japan and (more recently) on Sundazed Records.
