Jerusalem - Jerusalem

The first official vinyl reissue of this timeless UK hard rock album from 1972 produced by Deep Purple's
legendary frontman, Ian Gillan.

The music is a menacing combination of over-the-top vocals and furious lead guitars that sounds curiously ahead of it's time, yet clearly drenched in the rough, heavy sound of the early 70s UK underground.

Originally released on the UK Deram/Decca label, and now a favorite among vinyl collectors, the album is presented here re-mastered for vinyl from the original master tapes and housed in a high quality gatefold sleeve.

"Not many bands really excite me. But this one's so raw and completely unpretentious. They make the biggest bloody
noise you can imagine, tempered with moments of extreme emotion" - Ian Gillan (Deep Purple)

“Sledgehammer-heavy masterpiece of underground British rock!" - Classic Rock Magazine
