Jodo

Jodo was a short lived but powerful British hard-rock band from the early 70s with connections to Deep Purple, Green Bullfrog, Jasper, Killing Floor… Featuring the ace guitar playing of Rod Alexander plus two lead singers - one white (Bill Kimber) - one black (Earl Jordan) - their music blended heavy-rock, blues and proto-metal. In 1971 they released their sole self-titled album, produced in London by Derek Lawrence (Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash…) and engineered by Martin Birch (Black Sabbath, B.O.C…). For some strange reason, the album never saw a UK release, being available only in the US and New Zealand and housed in a cryptic packaging — the cover shows a man with a bicycle, without band photos or band details. *First band-sanctioned reissue *24-bit domain remaster *Insert with liner notes by Austin Matthews (Shindig!) and rare photos *Download Card RIYL: DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH, CREAM, LED ZEPPELIN, ORANG-UTAN… “A genuine lost classic” - Giles Hamilton (Galactic Ramble)
