Beautiful 1968 US Stereo Original, Still In Shrink Wrap. Tiny Cut Out Hole. Features Contributions From Charlie Musselwhite, Pete Drake, Barry Goldberg And Others. “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, AMG.
