MANDRAKE MEMORIAL - 3 Part Inventions (180g Super Deluxe LP+7") (Sealed) (LP/7")

Long thought to be lost, these are the Mandrake Memorial's 1969 recordings. The plan was to record with producer Shel Talmy (The Kinks, The Who, Pentangle), but when that fell through they persevered without him. '3 Part Inventions' anticipates the woozy, dreamlike vibe of the 1970 masterpiece 'Puzzle', combining eerie vocals, trippy guitar and otherworldly electronics to create a unique whole. Transferred directly from the master tapes, it's released here for the first time on 180-GRAM VINYL, including band history and rare images in a 16-page booklet, AND two previously unheard outtakes from a 1969 acetate on an included 7-INCH RECORD with picture sleeve!
