Churchills "Churchills" LP

Psychedelic rock holy grail. Hailing from Tel Aviv, the Churchills blended Anglo-American psychedelia with Middle Eastern motifs. The band was in fact a cosmopolitan collective: vocalist Stan Solomon was Canadian, guitarist Robb Huxley came from England, while the rest of the group -- Haim Romano on guitar and mandolin, Michael 'Miki' Gavrielov on bass, and Ami Trebich on drums -- were all from Israel. Released in 1969, Churchills can be considered the first truly psychedelic rock album produced and released in Israel during the 1960s. At a time when Israeli music was dominated by folk and pop, the Churchills' English-language, fuzz-drenched, mind-bending sound and studio experimentation was wildly ahead of its time. Impossible to find in its original form, Guerssen presents a new vinyl reissue of such legendary album, sourced from the original master tapes. Includes eight-page insert with detailed liner notes by Mike Stax with input by original member Robb Huxley and rare photos.
