Jericho was an Israeli supergroup from Tel Aviv who were originally called Churchill’s, after moving to England and recording their first album, they renamed themselves Jericho Jones, before shortening their name to Jericho for their third LP. This was also the title of their 1972 album, recorded at Command Studios in London and co-produced by the band and Ellis Elias, who had also worked on their previous album. Singer Danny Shoshan, guitarists Haim Romano and Robb Huxley, bassist Michael Gabriellov and Ami Triebich on drums played a much harder and darker style here compared to their first two LPs.

In just five tracks, they showcased their high-energy progressive heavy rock with psychedelic undertones, driven by distorted hard rock guitars and Danny Shoshan’s powerful vocals. Despite its high musical quality and production standards, the LP – released in 1972 on the US independent label A&M Records – unfortunately found few buyers due to inadequate marketing and management problems. This led to the band’s return to Israel and their break-up in 1973, despite previous successful tours in the UK. To this day, this album enjoys cult status, but the original releases of all three albums are rare and highly sought-after. The vinyl of the first British pressing shimmers reddish when viewed against a strong light source.
