Some words on this issue: THE HELPFUL SOUL: “A Thousand & One Nights” (Victor Records – SJET-8150) One of the unsung Holy Grails of the Japanese psych pantheon, the second LP (and last) by the Helpful Soul. This wailing fuzz-drenched and acid soaked mind bender was used as the soundtrack for the animated film of “A Thousand and One Nights”, designed by and Tetsuka studios released (as a soundtrack LP) in July 1969. After the album's release, the band broke up and Juni Rush went on to form Too Much. But this psychedelic monster was without a doubt the highlight of Juni's short-lived career as spearheading a bluesy hard psych combo with lethal doses of raw guitar assaults, wah-wah lashings, fuzz drenched bass, insane caveman rhythm blasts, you know the real Owsley thing. On this slide, these guys nearly went for the throat. First and only original pressing on the green Victor SJET label. Wilder and lysergically spiked up as their debut album, hallucination induced cover art and blindingly beautiful fold out jacket. Housed in splendid nightmarish acid-leaking cover art.
