a handful of pleasant delites

Mini-lp-like CD
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.
