BILL DODD, JACK JORDAN, LARRY MEYERS
Anyone who lived in Philadelphia in the late '60s would remember the Mandrake Memorial well.
They opened for many of the star rock bands who passed through the city, and in terms
of local popularity, they were probably only second to the Nazz.
Outside of Philadelphia, they were scarcely known whatsoever, though they did manage
to produce some fine second-division psychedelia. As vocalists they were adequate,
but they were accomplished players and interesting writers, dressing their solid melodies
with liberal jazz and Middle Eastern influences.
Guitarist Craig Anderton became a noted music technology writer,
contributing to magazines such as Electronic Musician

RECORD EX, sometimes NEAR MINT (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Fine, tuneful '60s psychedelia with a pop edge, featuring Fankhauser's first-rate songwriting and warm vocals.
About half of the tunes are excellent, especially the country-rocker "Your Painted Lives,"
and the folk-rock ballad "Ice Cube Island,"
and "A Visit with Ashiya," one of the best raga-rock songs ever cut...(AllMusic)
