"An obscure and rare record from this folk act led by James Harpham, (who plays the recorder, an ancient flute-like instrument). A Handful Of Pleasant Delites was originally released by Middle Earth in 1969 -- the same label as Arcanum and Writing On The Wall -- and featured an interesting blend of acoustic folk, baroque medleys, jazz improvisations and experimental music constantly shifting from pastoral atmospheres to urban neurosis. The original issue has now reached sky high prices so this reissue -- now available also on CD -- will please all who have been looking for this title for many years."

"Recorded in 1968, this self title debut by one of the most interesting garage psych bands of the US underground scene was originally turned down by major record labels and this caused Brain Police's disbanding. Akarma is proud to add this new CD reissue to the previously released vinyl version to fully revive the freshness of the San Diego based psychedelic group. Includes an interesting biography of the band."

"This neatly packaged box set summarizes the greatness of blues and its gradual transformation from the almost exclusively African American form of musical expression of the Thirties into a broader genre and treasure of the entire American heritage. This so called 'broadening process' has as one of its masterminds Sam Phillips of Sun Studios, who mastered the evolution of blues and hillbilly while fusing into rock'n'roll (see Elvis Presley's early tunes included in this collection). The Sun Studios project featured many of the artists that, beginning in the 1950's, contributed to the evolution of blues, such as Johnny Cash, Rufus Thomas, Little Walter, Doctor Ross, James Cotton, Little Milton and many others. 78 tracks for your aural pleasure."
