| | Description: | Volume One (legends Remastered) by Jerusalem, released 8 June 2018.
This version of Volume One (legends Remastered) comes as a 1xCD. - It all began in 1975 with an old bus bought from a surplus stock at the Swedish Telecom. It was a miracle they even got out of Gothenburg. The water leaked out of the bus very quickly. Sometimes on tours they had to stop in the middle of nowhere and the guys had to wade in swamps to get water for the bus. But that didn't diminish their enthusiasm. Every second weekend they took all the equipment and went on tour. The mission was to tell young people about God in clubs, discos, schools. They did all this in the face of heavy resistance. Being the first Christian hard rock band in all of Europe was difficult. Hard rock was connected to drugs, aggression and Satanism. Furthermore, the music was ear-splitting! Jerusalem endured a lot of criticism. They weren't welcome at all at some churches. Smoke-bombs, long hair and a stage stockpiled with professional musical gear was more than some people could accept, even if Jerusalem radically proclaimed Jesus. But Jerusalem were full on Jesus freaks, and they could not be stopped! 1978 saw the release of Jerusalem's debut record, Volume One and in just a few months the record sold 30,000 copies! Jerusalem reached far outside the church walls, drawing both believers and non-believers. It was originally released with Ulf Christiansson singing in his native Scandinavian tongue. Fortunately, some Americans attended Greenbelt Festival in the U.K. and brought Jerusalem records back to the USA and a copy ended up in the hands of Resurrection Band's future-icon Glenn Kaiser. Glenn got that record into the hands of Lamb & Lion Records legend, Pat Boone who ended up introducing English-singing Jerusalem albums to the masses in the USA!The lyrical depth, the recording quality and the searing riffs stand out on Volume One. These are elite songs dripping in passion and vitality that hasn't lost any of it's charm since 1978! "High Tide," "Mr. Ego," "Neutral," etc. Alone explain how this is the pivotal album that pierced through the hearts of fans across the globe which gave the band a foundation that birthed many years of international touring. Jerusalem was the real deal, and anyone who listened to this album knew it.Unfortunately, the Jerusalem debut release never got a proper CD reissue in English until now.
