Before they became the Strawberry Alarm Clock the song, "Insence And Peppermints" was recorded by another band: A Little Bit Of Sound. When they broke up, the singer joined TSAC and took that song with him. They had the big hit with it. The two versions are almost completely different.

[edit] Paragraph makes no sense

The group originally consisted of Ed King (lead guitar), Mark Weitz (keyboards), Lee Freeman (rhythm guitar), Gary Lovetro (bass), and Randy Seol (drums). On their first and most famous single, "Incense and Peppermints", none of the band wanted to sing Carter's lyrics, so lead vocals were sung by Greg Munford, a 16-year-old friend of the band...Ed King was denied songwriting credit by the band's producer because he did not write the melody line or the lyrics, which were by John Carter and did not appeal to the band.

John Carter is reffered to as "Carter" before "John Carter". Later on in the paragraph, you can kind of gather that he was some guy who wrote the lyrics, but the first sentence assumes the reader already knows this. And it is never mentioned what Ed King's claims to the lyrics were (again, its assumed the reader knows this) Brentt 08:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

According to the liner notes of Wake Up... It's Tomorrow, Carter put his melody line and lyrics on top of an instrumental written by King. --Scottandrewhutchins 23:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
