THE MANDRAKE MEMORIAL ORIGINAL 1968 PSYCHEDELIC GARAGE CLASSIC!
LABEL:POPPY RECORDS CAT NO: PYS 40,002 YEAR:1968 Record and sleeve are both in great condition,Record VG+ very nice condition,Sleeve is in great condition but does have some wear on back [see picture].
Original vinyl release on the obscure "Poppy" label brings you the first of three great Mandrake Memorial albums...AS great as "Puzzle" and "Medium" are, this one is arguably their best, loaded with strong self compositions and terrific playing ...those catchy tuneful grooves mixes with lysergic fuzz guitar and trippy keyboards are hard to beat...
From Philadelphia, Mandrake Memorial added a uniquely baroque touch to the usual mix of rock and psychedelics. This their self-titled debut album is absolutely brilliant. The synergy created between the breathless vocals of Randy Monaco, the elaborate keyboard (harpsichord!) playing of Michael Kac, and the searing guitar work of Craig Anderton, is stunning at times. This amazing musicianship applied to very interesting and melodic original material makes for a very special listening experience. The Mandrake Memorial sound is baroque, exotic, ethereal, and utterly infectious. This first album is definitely an essential possession for fans of psychedelia, and its definitely one to be treasured. TRACKLISTING Bird Journey, Here I Am, Rainy May, This Can't Be Real, Dark Lady, House of Mirrors, To a Lonely, Strange, Next Number, Sunday Noon
