Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

ORIGINAL 1968 PSYCHEDELIC GARAGE COLLECTIBLE
THE MANDRAKE MEMORIAL
USA - POPPY RECORDS - PYS 40,002
PLAYS MINTY CLEAN ALL OVER! Rare to find this LP THIS clean!
Collection worthy 1968 scarce first pressing, the original vinyl release on the obscure "Poppy" label... 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.
