Album Description Singer/songwriter Essra Mohawk (b. Sandra Elayne Hurvitz, Philadelphia, PA) is one of those unfortunate artists whose work is celebrated by critics & a small group of ardent admirers, but never by the public at large. Mohawk's first single was 'The Boy With the Way' with B-side 'Memory of Your Voice' on Liberty Records in 1964. She declined several offers of staff writerships, although the Shangri-Las & Vanilla Fudge began recording her material. In 1967, Mohawk met Frank Zappa, eventually joining the Mothers of Invention, where she reluctantly assumed the moniker Uncle Meat. Frank Zappa signed her to his Bizarre label (a Verve subsidiary) for her first album, this is a Japanese reissue of her 4th album from 1976 on Air Mail Recordings packaged in mini-LP sleeve. 2003.

CD ReviewsSandy's Album is Here At Last Paul Sorgule | New England Culinary Institute | 10/04/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Sandy Hurvitz is(was) a writer of hauntingly beautiful lyrics. This album, her first (and I think only) was masterful. Void of any overdubbing, electronic embellishments, or over-production, "Sandy's Album is Here at Last", is one of my most treasured CD's. Everyone should add a copy to their collection." Sandy's album is here to last vxppl | GA United States | 07/17/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was surprised to find that Sandy Hurvitz' debut album hadn't dated a bit since I bought it in 1967. There's no facade here, just Sandy and her piano, with occasional accompaniment by Jeremy Steig and Jim Pepper. What this album captures is not a moment of history but a moment of a perceptive, introverted young woman's life as she looks back at the wonder of childhood and forward toward the inevitable disappointment of adulthood as that wonder disappears. Hurvitz' later albums (as Essra Mohawk) are more complex and comfortable with (or at least resigned to) the adult world, but there's only one Sandy Hurvitz' Album Is Here at Last. Go back to the 1967 of your life by listening to it."
