The First Official Reissue Of The Jerusalem Album From 1972 Produced By Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) Will Be Released On The Vintage/Rockadrome Label In Late 2008

Jerusalem - Jerusalem CD. Brutal ahead-of-it's-time heavy as hell hard rock album from 1972 produced by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. Snarling raw and savage guitars, just the way you like 'em!! They could pass for an early NWOBHM band lost in the early 70s to these ears! The first official reissue of this fantastic album originally released on the Deram label and now presented here from the original masters and featuring early bonus demos and non-lp versions! Booklet with lyrics, liner notes, photos, press clippings and more! Essential piece for any 70s heavy rock or early 80s nwobhm collection!

Press: "All the songs are written by Jerusalem, and for a group so young they're quite astounding." - NME (1972)
"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)
