Adelphi Records was founded by a group
of young people who were passionate about the blues, especially
Pre-War Delta or Country Blues, which they knew from old 78 rpm
recordings. During the summer of 1969, they assembled the best
portable film and audio equipment then available and set out
on several blues pilgrimages.
