Before Joe Satriani, Steve Vai or Eddie Van Halen there was Harvey Mandel, who had an innovative approach to electric guitar and was among the first to utilize an intricate two-handed fretboard tapping technique.
This 1972 album, The Snake, is his second studio release and clearly a fan favorite. It has been out-of-print on vinyl and unavailable. This Record Store Day 2025 vinyl release includes an OBI side strip, Gatefold jacket with original art work, printed inner sleeve and is pressed on Translucent Turquoise color vinyl.

Eli B. ★★★★★

The two-handed tapping technique on this record is so clean it almost sounds like two guitars at once. Really glad I picked this up to study Harvey Mandel’s pioneering style.

Lucy B. ★★★★★

The translucent turquoise vinyl looks stunning under the light, capturing the mood of this classic album perfectly. Harvey Mandel's intricate two-handed fretboard tapping comes through with incredible clarity, and the pressing is dead quiet between tracks.
