Notes:
The World in a Sea Shell is the third album by Strawberry Alarm Clock, released in November 1968 on the Uni label. The album was not a chart success, and was the final LP to include the classic Strawberry Alarm Clock lineup.

 When the band's second album, Wake Up...It's Tomorrow, failed to recapture the huge success of 1967's Incense and Peppermints, the band's management pressured the band to record several compositions written by outsiders. The band members bristled at this situation, but reluctantly agreed to it in the end. Thus, five of the album's 12 songs were non-SAC songs.

The new direction did not pay off commercially for the band. Many of the tracks on The World in a Sea Shell featured lush orchestration and a gentle, escapist feel that stood in stark contrast to the adventurous psychedelia of the band's past work. This sudden change in direction, seen as a gross miscalculation on their managers' part by the band members, helped seal Strawberry Alarm Clock's fate. This frustrated the band, as their own compositions for this album included some adventurous moments and sound collages that fans might have expected and that weren't too far removed from the style of the previous albums.
