"STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK- WAKE UP...IT'S TOMORROW"
1968 Uni 73025 label
The condition of the cover is EX (see photos), no cut-outs, seam splits or writing. The condition of the disc is a conservative VG+ and it plays nicely!
Original 1968 first pressing of the remarkable sunny California breezy psychedelic groover ...none hardly better than the grooves in this baby!
Wake Up... It's Tomorrow may be the ultimate California hippie album. The fact that it isn't perfect (or Magical Mystery Tour or Smile) has got something to do with Strawberry Alarm Clock being Strawberry Alarm Clock, which is also the main reason why this stuff feels so wonderful. The great sunny sunshine breezy harmonies compliment the tracks and soar nicely within dreamy heavenly arrangements...
"Wake Up...It's Tomorrow" is a continuation, carry over of the first album, and may be more solid, or certainly as classic, as their first ...includes standout tracks all up and down both sides: "Nightmare Of Percussion", "Black Butter - Present" [both of which border on psychotic!], "Curse Of The Witches", and lighter, super grooving efforts like "Soft Skies, No Lies", and "Sit With The Guru" (which ends with the same "sha la la" chorus that graced "Incense And Peppermints") highlight throughout -- but it's the heady grooves of "TOMORROW" that centerpoints the albums tone and space ...Iron Butterfly was attempting this same mix of light and heavy elements, but couldn't come close to the complexity of the Strawberry Alarm Clock's vocal arrangements, which give much of this album an atmospheric, druggy-inspired feel. By the time you get to the album ending three part "Black Butter", you'll be dazed and drenched with dreamy psychedelic syrup ! An album that can be enjoyed over and over again without growing tired of!
