 The eponymous 1968 album by Israel's Churchills is one of the most sought-after 
records in the world. While some rare records go for hundreds of dollars, an 
original copy of The Churchills is likely to fetch thousands. Why? Because not only 
is it next to impossible to find, but The Churchills is one of those rarer-than-rare
records that actually lives up to its reputation. From the opening bars of the first
 song on Side One, "Open Your Eyes" - an explosion of ecstatic screams and fuzz, 
"faces, lips and teeth and eyes; diamond rings and pretty things, and arms and legs 
and thighs" - you know this is going to be one amazing trip. 
 Track after track the album continues to astonish, delivering everything from 
electrifying psychedelic rock to evocative pop ballads with equal degrees of skill 
and originality. Soulfully delivered vocals, searing fuzz guitars, spacey sound 
effects, exotic Eastern flourishes - the Churchills use a dazzling palate of tones 
and colours, stretching the primitive Tel Aviv studio technology of the day to its 
limits to create one of the most brilliant psychedelic albums from anywhere in the 
world, let alone Israel. Although there's elements of the Yardbirds, Cream, Hendrix 
the Doors, and the Jefferson Airplane (especially the studio trickery of After 
Bathing At Baxter's), the sound of the Churchills is very much their own personal 
vision - a distinct blend of East and West that is unmistakably from their own 
corner of the world.

Hope I won't be sued by one of the copyright owners as my country of residence is (yeah that's right)
