In 1971 Hanoch flew 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 artists who worked with Einstein that time, Shmulik Kraus and Josie Katz, took part in recording and composing. Plastelina, the second Einstein-Hanoch album, was recorded four months after the first. 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 Benny Amdursky and founded the band HaShlosharim. But the complex, unusual song "Prague," which dealt with the Soviet invasion of the capital of the Czech Republic, was not well received by the audience. The Cooperation between the two continued in the Israel Song Festival (Festival HaZemer), when Einstein performed Hanoch's songs. He also wrote the lyrics for six of them. Hanoch's great breakthrough occurred in 1968 when Arik Einstein recorded his second album, Mazal Gdi, which contained only songs written by Hanoch. The two were mentioned on the cover, an innovation for army band recordings. In this album Hanoch sang Mitria Bishnaim along with the troupe's star, Shula Chen. He was demobilized in 1968, but not before he had participated in a recording of the best-of album made of re-recorded versions to 1950s and 1960s hits by the troupe called Kol HaKavod LaNahal (Well Done, Nahal). Although at that point he was more interested in acting than in creating music, Hanoch was recruited by the Nahal army troupe when he turned 18, and wrote a few songs for the troupe while in the service.
