Great debut LP from 1968. A stunning set of orchestrated, psychedelic funk, with the standout track being the Axelrod-esque “Wade In The Water”. Essential. Mandel is an American blues rock guitarist known for his innovative approach to electric guitar playing. A professional at twenty, he played with Charlie Musselwhite, Canned Heat, The Rolling Stones, and John Mayall before starting a solo career.

The sleeve has some wear and some damp damage on the back. The vinyl has surface marks.
