I've seen one in person, it does exist. I know a guy who has one and I'm trying to get in touch with him so he can send a scan to me. Per Bill Holmes (bad name on here!) he had stated that a few hundred were made with Thee Sixpence listed as the band, but he had them recalled and new labels applied. Just like the Beatles "Butcher" cover that was recalled, some didn't make it back to the record company.

: I have to say I have never found a genuine
: label scan of an All American 45 of I&P
: credited to Thee Sixpence. If any one has
: one and can confirm it exists then I would
: be delighted to see it. I'm not convinced by
: the image on the Step By Step CD.

: Strawberry SAC aka Crystal Circus are the
: same
: band. There are acetate pressings of the
: Crystal Circus album (the Akarma CD was made
: from one such acetate)that have Strawberry
: SAC labels on them for the band name but
: most have Crystal Circus on the label. The
: Strawberry SAC 45 you have is probably worth
: $75.00-$125.00.
:
: To answer your unrelated question, yes
: "I&P" was released with Thee
: Sixpence listed on the label. They produced
: a lot of them, but most were sent back and
: new labels with Strawberry Alarm Clock
: listed were applied.

: 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: Was the single withdrawn soon after being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.
