: A little while ago, I picked up this single at
: a local yard sale. I remember reading about
: Strawberry SAC online, but I could not
: remember specific details. It was more
: "Oh, hey, I remember reading about this
: somewhere." So I decided to buy it.
: (Only $1... can't go wrong with that)
: Research uncovered that it was an attempt to
: "Impersonate" the real Strawberry
: Alarm Clock with a song that resembles
: "Incense and Peppermints."
: Now, some of my many questions about this:
: Did it get a lot of radio airplay like I&P?
: Was the single withdrawn soon after being
: released?
: Was the public at the time tricked that it
: was you? (Seems that most people today think
: it is)
:
: Oh, and one more (almost) completely
: unrelated question: Was "Incense and
: Peppermints" ever released while the
: band's name was Thee Sixpence? Or did the
: name change occur before that release?
:
I have a copy of the "Step By Step" CD by Thee Sixpence. "Incense And Peppermints" (E. King-M. Weitz-J. Carter-T. Gilbert) is included and listed on the inside gatefold cover, as well as on the front cover via a picture of the All-American single (one of 10 sides shown). However, the artist mentioned therein is Thee Sixpence. "In Relation (To Our Times)" (B. Feldman-J. Bielan-B. Holmes) is not on the aforementioned album, but is found on the CD (I also have) "In Relation To Our Times" by Crystal Circus, also on the Akarma (All-American) label. Greg Munford, who sang lead on "I&P," also sings lead on "In Relation." Your single is indeed rare.
