Notes
Harumi is the debut album by Japanese musician Harumi (full name Harumi Ando). The album was produced by Tom Wilson (2) famous for his recordings with Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention, and The Velvet Underground. The album was recorded sometime between 1967 and 1968 in New York, largely in July 1967. Very little is known about the recording of the album aside from what is on the sleeve of the record. Key personnel such as backing musicians are absent from the album credits. But we do know Lenny Matlin of the Soup Greens, Jagged Edge and Organist on Donovan's "Season Of The Witch" played Organ and Keys on the recordings, and toured as a member of the band too.

Definitely one of the great musical mysteries of the 60s is Harumi, the recording and artist. A terrific psychedelic pop record—totally unique. Even the 20 minute freak out poetry reading, “… Pomegranate Garden” is pretty cool when u get into it. Great that it’s downloadable too via Apple Music. But whatever happened to Harumi? Who was he? A great musician who created a one-off classic.

If you listen to the Tom Wilson interview of Bobby Callender Music Factory DJ series he talks about how he is working on the Harumi album and he gives some details. What caught my attention was the fact that the album started out completely Indian as in probably sitar Tambora tabla laden where by the time that this interview is going on he admits that it had gone more toward the far eastern direction. I would love to hear the outtakes! Don Robertson was on fire with his talent to grace not only this LP but many others as well. For anyone curious about the Bobby Callender interview with Tom Wilson you can go to YouTube and watch a novice transcendent video that I did for it. I do not make anything from you learning anything. There’s also some unknown Velvet Underground information at the end of the video… It’s the Andy Warhol commercial and it should blow some minds for anyone that’s a historian Of the Velvet Underground. BTW – I have a separate video for that too. Grab yourself some popcorn and a prize over in the restroom there for reading through all this. Enjoy life, the music, and expression. referencing Harumi (2×LP, Album, Stereo) FTS-3030-2X
Nothing is known about harumi, despite a long search for the artist. They sound like a psychedelic-japanese Beatles band. There's also an existential 24-minute poetry piece.referencing Harumi (2×LP, Album, Stereo) FTS-3030-2X
I'm a massive fan of this album and have spent a lot of time searching the internet hoping to find more recordings from Harumi. Iv read somewhere that he recorded another album in Japan, with the same title I think but im yet to find it. Is there anyone who might have more info on this or any other recordings from Harumi?
