Mandrake Memorial

American psychedelic/progressive rock band from Philadelphia, active in the late 1960s and known for three albums including Puzzle (1970).

Reviews on DeBaser note three main releases and identify Randy Monaco (bass, vocals), Craig Anderson (12-string acoustic) and Michael Kac (voice, keyboards) as core contributors. The band blends psychedelia, folk and progressive arrangements with choral and mystical elements.

Two enthusiastic DeBaser reviews praise Mandrake Memorial's 1970 album Puzzle for its psychedelic-prog ambition, mystical choral moments and varied moods. Reviewers highlight Randy Monaco's vocals and the band's blend of folk, psychedelia and progressive arrangements.
