CHANDRA New York, New York
Born in the NYC underground art scene of the early 1980s, Chandra Oppenheim was a child star like no other.

Her Highness (premiere mélange)
by Medicine
supported by 4 fans who also own “Stranger”
I must confess, I missed Her Highness upon its initial release so I cannot compare the two iterations sonically, but what is presented here is incredibly wonderful.

Thoroughly enjoyable. A klanger.
