Original 1971 firt release on CRI of Harry Partch's monumental opus for an ensemble of unique instruments as a 3xLP box set.

Original first pressing of the 3xLP box set presenting the fisrt recording on Partch's alien sounding Ritual of Dream and Delusion supplemented with a full LP of demonstrations of his invented instruments.
"Delusion of the Fury organically interweaves music, theater, and movement into a haunting, otherworldly tapestry. The imposing presence of Partch’s homebuilt instruments heightens the emotional subtext of the Japanese and African tales upon which this work is based. Completed in 1965, Delusion of the Fury was premiered four years later at UCLA, and subsequently recorded for CBS Masterworks."
