JERUSALEM
"Jerusalem"
a Lion Productions co-release with
Vintage/Rockadrome (USA)
*a new pressing on transparent purple vinyl!*
“Big fat chords, wailing guitar, punch-drunk bass and straight-ahead
solid drums all strutting in your face like some massive guy you just
don't want to f**k with.” —Head Heritage
"I made the record because they are bloody good and it seems a shame for
their sound not to be recorded... right now there's a rawness and
excitement..." Ian Gillan, in Disc & Music Echo, January 29th, 1972
Heavy UK hard rock album from 1972, produced by Deep Purple's
legendary frontman, Ian Gillan, originally released on the Decca/Deram
label. It was Gillan who said of them: “Not many bands really excite me.
But this one’s so raw and completely unpretentious. They make the
biggest, bloodiest noise you can imagine, tempered with moments of
extreme emotion.” And, of course, he’s right—the music is a menacing
combination of over-the-top vocals and screaming lead guitars that could
easily pass for something from the early British heavy metal scene—or
something from the emotional hard core scene of the
mid-1990's ('Primitive Man'). A favorite among vinyl collectors, the
album is presented here in its ultimate glory, with all tracks direct
from the original master tapes, housed in a high quality old-style
gatefold cover; insert has liner notes written by bassist Paul Dean +
rare photos. Stickered to indicate that this is the purple vinyl
edition. Rough, raw, and doomy!
