Harvey Mandel —
Baby Batter ... CD BGO (UK), 1971. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A classic bit of funky guitar by Harvey Mandel – similar to some of Dennis Coffey's early work in that it's got full on guitar power, very much inspired by heavy rock, filtered through an approach that's also got plenty of funk in it! The killer track here is the classic "Baby ... read more CD
