"IT'S THE FRICKIN' HOLY GRAIL!!!"

"In the mold of Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, and Mike Bloomfield, Mandel is an extremely creative rock guitarist with heavy blues and jazz influences.
Mandel's debut remains his best early work, introducing an accomplished blues-rock guitarist capable of producing smooth, fluid lines and a variety of tasteful distortion and buzzing via an assortment of tone pedals and customized amplifiers. He augmented his flash with an adventurous appetite for orchestrated, quasi-classical strings (especially in the eerie symphonic title cut), jazz-blues-rock fusion in the mold of The Electric Flag (as on "Before Six"), and even a bit of country in the presence of top steel guitarist Pete Drake." -- Richie Unterberger

BEAUTIFUL ULTRA-RARE STILL SEALED ORIGINAL!!



Features that great psychedelic looking cover (art by Alton Kelly) - the shrink is perfect and there is absolutely NO ringwear on this black-background cover either (which is amazing in itself). There is one hardly noticeable small "punch hole" in the top right corner other than that it is perfect!

Styles: Rock & Roll, Modern Electric Blues, Blues-Rock, Psychedelic

Standard shipping is a single packing method that allows the album to be shipped as low-cost as possible within our postal system = the corners are reinforced and it is in most cases quite sufficient.
BUT, if you feel that you need an extra strong package = your mail carrier is part gorilla and most of your packages arrive all bent up, then PLEASE choose special packaging and PLEASE let me know before paying ---- I can double pack your album but, the postage weight = cost will increase!

I used to be able to mail these via surface mail at a much cheaper rate but, that doesn't seem to be offered since the last postal rate hike -- yes, it sucks and I'm sorry but, they don't give us a say in these things. )=

AND NOW THE PART THAT YOU SHOULD READ (even though you usually skim to the bottom and miss it, which is why you ask me all of the questions that you would already know the answer to if you hadn't of scrolled down past this!):

"" PEOPLE WITH ANGER ISSUES, SOCIOPATHIC TENDENCIES AND OTHER PERSONALITY DISORDERS ARE BANNED FROM BIDDING IN MY AUCTIONS! You make the world an unpleasant place and I just don't want to have to deal with your crap so, please go bid on somebody elses stuff - thank you very very much! **

#1. I make every attempt to describe each & every item as thoroughly and as accurately as possible but, I am human which means that once in a great while I may actually miss something (but it won't be big!!!).
#2. ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING!!
#3. All records are visually graded under a bright halogen light and, when I have the time, sound checked as well!
________________________________________________________________________
GRADING:
MINT = still sealed
NM+ = perfect, flawless, just isn't sealed
NM = one or two inconsequential little marks that in no way effect the play
NM- = just a whisp below NM (probably three of the slightest marks)
VG+ = few slight marks visible under bright light but still plays NM clean
VG = you can hear a couple of pops or crackles but it still plays without any skips -- I RARELY ever will post anything in VG condition unless it is soooo rare that it's just got to heard!
Anything below a VG I would never sell or keep and you should NEVER buy = throw them out!!!!
________________________________________________________________________

#4.. All opened record albums are packed with the record removed from the cover to prevent splitting of the cover during shipment and are given extra corner protection as well.
#5. All sales are final!
#6.Winning bidder MUST email me within 3 days of end of auction and sale MUST be completed within 15 days unless PRIOR (prior to your win!) arrangements are made.

Geez, I used to see ads that included huge explanations here on ebay and think "Wow, what's that all about?" Now, I have an ad with a huge explanation at the end. Well, time & experience...there are some nasty people out there in cyberland and it only takes one of them to ruin a good week! So, in an attempt to 'ward them off' and keep everything mellow for the rest of us I will continue to keep the huge explanation above and continue the ban on the undesirables!

Oh, and a renewed New Year's wish for you all:
Well, the world just keeps changing and, hopefully, someday we will no longer live under facism or threat of terror but, for now (what is it 3 more years?) we'll just have to hang in there or have a revolution SOOOOoooooooo.....for the New Year:
Stay outta harm's way any way you can = duck, run, don't enlist in any armies, etc...
If everything gets quite and all of the little animals are running away don't try to figure out why first - just remember you're an animal too and RUN with them!
If it's raining A LOT, build that boat that you've always wanted, sleep in a life jacket or, simply, move to higher ground BEFORE the water comes inside your house!
Be mellow and cool and turn that other cheek (yes, you know which one) but, if someone tries to take your home or hurt your people or pets (or vinyl) FIGHT like hell!
Oh, and, last but not least - WHEN THE WORLD GETS TOO WILD TO WATCH ANYMORE -- JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TURN UP THE MUSIC!!!
