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

The comparison might seem strange, but at times it sounded like the Youngbloods 

might have if they'd taken their jazzier and more experimental tendencies to more 

self-consciously progressive ends. There was less emphasis on harmony vocals 

this time around, too, and Randy Monaco's vocals had a sorrowful quality 

that sometimes recalled those of Lawrence Hammond from the 

barely-better-known-than-Mandrake Memorial band Mad River: 

there's some interesting psychedelic interplay 

between guitar, keyboard, and vocals...(AllMusic)
