NOTE: eBay has implemented its new FEEDBACK policy to which ANY customer for ANY reason or ANY excuse can give sellers (i.e. "us") negative feedback. Please understand, we have served thousands of "satisfied" customers and processed thousands of orders - far more than our feedback records indicate - It is our intention to give EACH and EVERY buyer our best possible service and we are known to ALWAYS deliver your purchased item. ALL items paid for are processsed 'outbound' to each and EVERY customer, satisfaction guaranteed. Keep in mind we have serviced THOUSANDS of satisfied customers and our aim is to continue to do so.
We make every effort to mail all orders out Friday of each week. Keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two at most. We also strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable.
TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS: We often get requests to hold orders to save on shipping. We are happy to do that. Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and IF YOU REQUEST we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel. To receive continual shipping discounts, we will hold your orders as long as you want, but it is necessary to pay each invoice you receive to stay current. Most importantly, we appreciate your business.

A stylistic breakthrough of the times ('69), criminally under-recognized. Dreamy, fuzzed-out, mellow 60s psychedelic-rock. An album without a single weak moment; it works as a total album flow experience demanding total immersion...Mandrake Memorial's second album should have been one of the great records of late sixties psychedelic rock. Could have because of the incredible opener "Snake Charmer" and the terrific "Witness The End/Celebration" -- Whilst the relaxed "Last Number" and the acid-rocking "Smokescreen" keep a good standard going...You can hear the distinct influences of groups they must have revered, Traffic, Cream and Jefferson Airplane to name a few. Upon "Medium's" release in 1969 Michael Kac, whose distinctive keyboards (especially harpsichord) helped define Mandrake's sound, left the group due to musical differences. Whereas the first album was wonderfully cohesive this one stands as collection of beautifully crafted songs that shine individually. Their mood is one of loss and introspection rather than the ethereal optimism and pop joy reflected on their first album. But the times were rapidly changing, a darker side of 60's culture had emerged. Mandrake is sadder but wiser, louder, tighter and serious about gaining your complete attention.
