Strawberry Alarm Clock


Though mostly considered to be a one-hit-wonder, Strawberry Alarm Clock released three albums from 1967-1968, during the height of the psychedelic movement in LA. They greatly influenced the early beginnings of LA bubblegum pop, which would grow to outlast and out-sell west coast psychedelia. The band broke apart in late '68, but released a 4th album, Good Morning Starshine, in '69 with an almost completely new line-up and a distinctly less psychedelic sound.
