Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock

[SouthernDem4ever]

I can't watch this without thinking Austin Powers

[Zambero]

1. Featuring future Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Ed King

Quite a musical transformation from psychedelic pop to southern rock.

2. Incest and Peppermints

as Dr Don Rose called it on the Cruisin’ 67 album.

3. It's Pretty Much The Height Of Psychedelic Music

It's got every element!
The cheesy organ, the fuzzy guitar, the 12 string guitar, the pulsing cowbell (which be barely touches in this video), the "ooohs" in the background, the "LaLas" at the end, with everything drenched in reverb.
Can't get much more psychedelic.

4. They were lipsyncing to the studio recording

LOL that's how the cowbell played itself for most of the video.

5. No Doubt

None of the instruments is plugged in.
There's not even a power cable on the Farfisa. And, there's no mic on the acoustic guitar. Piezo pickups for acoustic weren't marketed until the 70s. (Ovation & Takamine were the pioneers.)
I see this a lot on these old videos.

6. Same here.

I purposely chose that video for the picture of what they looked like back then. Also, you can't beat the studio sound version
