Although I had been listening to music since 1964 with the advent of the Beatles, I had never bought a record of my own until 1967. The song that pushed me over the edge to pony up some of my allowance for something besides candy and comic books was this song.
I bought the 45, costing me IIRC around 85 cents (an album ran like $2.35). I played this over and over til the grooves turned white. I think the disc is still in a box in the garage somewhere.
The group has reformed and still performing this song: "Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock
