Harvey Mandel : “The Snake” (Janus JLS 3037)
First US pressing from 1972, with gatefold jacket, brown colored labels.
A rarely seen Harvey Mandel release.
Mandel has a storied history. Early in his career, he played guitar in Charlie Musselwhite's bands, later joined Canned Heat as lead guitarist (perhaps most well known for his Woodstock performance) and later had a stint in John Mayall bands.
Vinyl: NM
Superb wax; looks and plays like new. Wonderfully clear, rich sound on this well recorded LP.
Labels are bright and clean. No spindle marks. (SEE PHOTOS)
Jacket: EX
Jacket in excellent overall condition; just shy of near mint. Very light ring wear apparent on front cover on close inspection. Very modest rub wear on seams and spine. No splits. A name is written in small neat letters in ink on the back cover.
Inside gatefold area like new. (SEE PHOTOS)
Comes with generic inner paper sleeve.
My Profile / Policies:
Music is my passion. I’ve been a collector for more than 50 years and have thousands of records in my personal collection, focused largely on 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n’ roll. Recently retired, I look to downsize and sell select portions of my collection in hopes of financing future purchases of a few special pieces.
All records I offer are from my personal collection, each cleaned using my Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine.
All are play graded (not just visually graded), employing Goldmine Price Guide standards.
As I take great care to accurately describe my items, I do not accept returns unless my item description is incorrect.
All records are packaged with the wax outside the jacket (to avoid seam split in transit), enclosed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in robust record mailer boxes via USPS Media Mail, tracking included.
Payment expected within 3 business days of auction closing.
