The first LP released by the band and the only LP of their career to make an impact on the album charts, it reached #11 nationally. The LP contained the #1 national hit "Incense And Peppermints" which was written by members Mark Weitz and Ed King with lyrics by John Carter. The song was sung by a friend of the band, Greg Munford who was in Shapes Of Sound and later Crystal Circus. Also on the LP is Steve Bartek who co-wrote many of the songs with George Bunnell and plays flute on some tracks. An excellent LP with some great playing and heavenly harmonies.
