1968-1971 (Hed Arzi)




They might have been less unique had THE CHURCHILLΓÇÖS stem from England, yet Israel is where Dome of Rock is situated and not where rock seems to thrive. Still the band, led by guitarists Hayim Romano and Michael Gabrielov, did rock and even boasted an ex-Tornado (of ΓÇ£TelstarΓÇ¥ fame) Rob Huxley, in their ranks, who wrote or co-wrote most of their output presented on this compilation in its entirety. A live cover of ΓÇ£SheΓÇÖs A WomanΓÇ¥ aside, the ensemble, granted the title of the Israeli Beatles, didnΓÇÖt aspire to the beat glory though, having opted rather for a variety of styles from the ΓÇ£Sunshine ManΓÇ¥ exquisite psychedelia and THE PLATTERS-like romanticism of ΓÇ£Talk To MeΓÇ¥ to the Stax-shaped ΓÇ£Coming HomeΓÇ¥.

Eclectic and confusing indeed, if one takes it too seriously, which would be a mistake, as ΓÇ£Straight PeopleΓÇ¥, a stab at THE DOORS, suggests. Still, seriousness has to be involved here, with impressive rendition of BachΓÇÖs ΓÇ£Double ConcertoΓÇ¥ and ΓÇ£Chorale For The Young LoversΓÇ¥ recorded with The Israeli Philarmonic Orchestra at the same time when DEEP PURPLE did the similar thing. The two bands, incidentally, toured together ΓÇô when THE CHURCHILLΓÇÖS evolved into JERICHO JONES, whose highly sought-after album is included in this package as well. The progress towards heaviness started already on their 1969ΓÇÖs debut album, ΓÇ£The ChurchillΓÇÖsΓÇ¥, with sharp ΓÇ£ComicsΓÇ¥, but there's also been a strong folk influence in Middle Eastern-colored "Debka" and "Subsequent Finale", to not accuse them of blindly following the trends, especially after entering the '70s with a not too inventive version of ZEPPELIN's "Living Loving". This - and said eclecticism - aside, the band were great, their songs easily on par with those that made it to the top, while THE CHURCHILL's didn't. Still massively revered, now they must be up there too.
