Jericho. 1972 Israel

In 2004 I wrote: "Yet another early 70’s hard rock/psych album that has prog rock crossover appeal. Dual guitar, with plenty of changes and dramatic solo sections, that recall bands like Cargo, Clear Blue Sky, and Janus. Other than the short throwaway ‘Don’t You Let Me Down’, most of this contains inventive instrumental interplay. ‘Featherbed’ is the kind of late heavy psych piece that fills the void between Electric Ladyland-era Hendrix and Agitation Free’s Malesch. Only five tracks, so plenty of room to stretch. Sparse use of piano, strings and flute provide color and contrast. This one is a goodie and has stood the test of time 

in my collection."

What a blistering set this is from the 3rd incarnation of The Churchills. These Israelis deliver the goods. Some of this is proto-metal honestly. There's some blues and more than a nod to their psychedelic past, but mostly this is non stop hard rock with gruff vocals. And the tracks are long, filled to the brim with great soloing. If you're into early 70s hard rock, and haven't heard this, then you'll want to move it to the top of your list.

Ownership: LP: 1972 A&M (UK). Recent online acquisition from a brick & mortar in Denmark (2021). The LP comes in a very flimsy single sleeve cover. 

The LP replaces the basic CD on Repertoire that made up the original entries.
