 Jerusalem

 were a 

British

hard rock band.

not to be

confused with

the Swedish

Christian

hard rock band

of the same name

who were formed

a few years later

in 1975.

HISTORY

The five-member band 

released one 

self-titled album

 worldwide in 1972 

on Deram Records

 produced by 

Ian Gillan 

of Deep Purple. 

Their only other release 

that decade was a

 45 rpm 7 inch single, 

the non-album 

"Kamikaze Moth"

 backed with

 "Frustration" 

from the LP.

They gigged throughout Europe 

and shared the same stage

 as bands such as

 Black Sabbath, 

Deep Purple, 

Uriah Heep 

and 

Status Quo. 

They also played at 

some of the

 major festivals

 in Europe.

Although Jerusalem

 signed with Deram,

 Nick Mobbs, 

head of EMI's 

Harvest Records label 

also wanted them;

 he later became head of

 A&R for EMI 

and was the first person

 to sign

 the Sex Pistols. 

Founders of the band, 

Paul Dean

 and 

Ray Sparrow, 

eventually split the band, 

and formed a

 three piece 

with Bob Cooke 

called 

Pussy, 

who released a single 

on Deram called 

"Feline Woman".

 Jerusalem's debut album 

was re-issued by

 Universal as a 

Japanese CD (2005), 

and has also become available

 through many rock

 music websites.

In 2007, 

Dean revealed that the original

 2" multi-track masters

 of the album 

would be re-mastered, 

re-mixed 

and re-released 

in January 2009. 

The album and single 

will be available on 

CD and vinyl,

 published by 

Rockadrome Records, 

and will include extra materials

 like bonus tracks, 

blog, history, etc. 

The Jerusalem CD 

was released in 2009, 

vinyl in 2011 

and the first ever 

release of the 

Pussy album

 (CD)

 was released in 2012, 

all by 

Rockadrome Records.
