The 1977 release of the 45rpm single of Strawberry Letter 23 by The Brothers' Johnson was produced by A&M Records with a slightly pink center label (as opposed to the usual buff color that A&M uses), and had strawberry scent embedded into the plastic to make the record give off the odor of strawberries.
A small note which I almost got backwards. A portion of the lyrics to the song Strawberry Letter 23 is as follows:
Stained window, yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite
With velvet roses diggin' freedom flight
A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
The music plays, I sit in for a few
The actual title of the song - as printed on the label and the sleeve of the 45 which I still have - is Strawberry Letter 23, which I suppose implies that this song is the response to her Strawberry Letter 22. I had originally thought the song said Strawberry Letter 23 and was named Strawberry Letter 22, which is the exact opposite of what it actually says.
