The album was recorded and produced in James' record company, DJM, with Elton John's players. In 1971 Hanoch recorded a solo album in English, Shalom.
In London Shalom signed a contract with producer Dick James, who worked with Elton John that time.
In 1971 Hanoch flied to London in order to start an international career. In the same year Hanoch wrote and composed a song for Uri Zohar's Hitromemut movie. Two more artist who worked with Einstein that time, Shmulik Kraus and Josey Katz, took part in recording and composing. Plastelina, the second Einstein-Hanoch album, was recorded four months after the first. Along with the extraordinary lyrics, one old-style song was in the album - HaBalada Al Yoel Moshe Salomon (The Balad About Yo'el Moshe Salomon). The words were written in popular language and not in official and high language, as used in Israeli songs before. Another expression for the innovation and change of the Israeli music in this album, were the lyrics. The Churchills, who played in most of the songs, was a band influenced by Psychedelic Rock of the late 60s, and this kind of Psychedelia appeared in some of their songs. One of the known songs from this album was Ma Ata Ose KsheAta Kam Baboker (What Do You Do When You Wake Up in the Morning). This sound was shown in the album Shablul, in which Hanoch composed all the songs. In the year of 1970 Arik Einstein, Shalom Hanoch and The Churchills created a new Israeli sound, influenced by Anglo-American Rock n' Roll. In these years he also wrote a lot of songs for other artists. Shalom composed many of the band's songs. In 1969 Hanoch and his former Nahal-band member, Chanan Yovel, joined with Beni Amdurski and founded the band HaShlosharim. But the composite song, which talked about the Soviet invasion to the capital of the Czech Republic was very unusual, and was apatheticly accepted by the audience. The Cooperation between the two continued in the Festival of Singing (Festival HaZemer), when Einstein performed Hanoch's songs - Prague. Hanoch's great breakthrough occuredin 1968 when Arik Einstein recorded his second album, Mazal Gdi, which contained only songs written by Hanoch. In 1967 the album Hagar was released, which included four songs composed by Hanoch. There he got to meet Arik Einstein, who was already a star in Israel, and was asked by him to write songs for him.

In 1967 Shalom performed in the High Windows club with songs he wrote for the High Windows. The two were first mentioned on the cover, a thing that was new to army bands recording. In this album Hanoch sang Mitria Bishnaim along with the band's star, Shula Chen. He left the band in 1968, not before he recorded the album Kol HaKavod LaNahal (Well Done for the Nahal), which included the best of the Nahal songs from the 50s to the 60s. A few of his notable songs in the Nahal Band were: Serenada LeAda (Serenade to Ada), Arba Acharei HaTzaharaim (Four O'Clock Afternoon), Vals LeHaganat HaTzomeach (Waltz for the Plants Defence), Haleluiya and Haiti Na'ar (I Was a Teenager). When he was 18, he was recruited to the Nahal Band.
As he aged 16, he started to learn in the Theatre School Beit Tzvi. Songs from that time include Agadat Deshe (Grass Legend), Nisa LaYam (We'll Go To Sea), Risim (Eyebrows) and Yom Acharon (Last Day). Along with another member of the Kibbutz, Meir Ariel, he wrote more songs, and joined the Kibbutz's band - "HaMishmaron". When he was 14 he already completed his first song - Layla (Night), that included lyrics and composition. His cooperation with Arik Einstein gave birth to some of the first Israeli Rock albums.Īfter Hanoch got a Jazz guitar when he was 12 years old, he started to play and compose songs. Hanoch's creation is one of the biggest influences on Israeli Rock and Israeli Music, as a solo artist and as a part of bands. Shalom Hanoch (Born September 1, 1946, Kibbutz Mishmarot, Israel) is an Israeli singer, lyricist and composer, who is considered to be one of the ancestors of the Israeli rock.
