Original 1971 first press... hands down the 'rarest' most difficult to find of all the Strawberry Alarm Clock albums...it wasn't meant to be a top seller because the material is filled with great tracks having no commercial potential.
“Changes” is a very rare overview album put out in 1971 by Vocalion Records which was a sister label to Uni (SAC’s label) and MCA, which owned Decca, Vocalion and Uni among other labels. The cover shows an alternate designed drawing of the Incense and Peppermints album cover from 1967 while the back cover shows a photo of the then current 1970 SAC lineup of Ed King, Lee Freeman, Gene Gunnels and Paul Marshall. The “Changes” album is a unique SAC Lp and sought because it features a solid selection of the non-hits material and altogether flows together very cohesively.Changes bypasses all of the band’s earlier and better-known hits to focus instead on SAC’s later career and interesting album cuts. It indeed succeeds in this, with a fairly insightful selection of some of the Clock’s hidden highlights.
Those highlights include the excellent psychedelic trilogy “Black Butter” songs (“Past”, “Present”, and “Future”).
This set was evidently intended to be a sort of companion piece to 1970’s The Best Of Strawberry Alarm Clock, which collected the well known Strawberry Alarm Clock songs (the hits and singles, in other words).
