: 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: Was the single withdrawn soon after being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.
