Description
• New remastered and expanded release of the 1971 debut album by the legendary Jade Warrior
• Remastered from the original master tapes
• With fully restored artwork and a new essay

Formed in 1970, Jade Warrior were one of the most original British bands to emerge during the Progressive Rock era. The first incarnation of Jade Warrior featured Tony Duhig (guitars) and Jon Field (flutes, percussion), both of whom had been in the Psychedelic group July, and Glyn Havard (bass, vocals).

Signing to the Vertigo label, the band recorded their self- titled debut album in March 1971. A remarkable work, ‘Jade Warrior’ would be the template upon which the band would build their unique sound – venturing stylistically between ethnic music, melodic, gentle ethereal and ambient sounds and heavier guitar driven rock.

Upon its release, ‘Jade Warrior’ was acclaimed by critics and has since acquired legendary status for its sheer inventiveness.

This expanded Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered from the original Vertigo Records master tapes and features an early, previously unreleased version of ‘Telephone Girl’ as a bonus track. It also restores the original album artwork and features a booklet with new essay.

1. The Traveller
2. A Prenormal Day At Brighton
3. Masai Morning
4. Windweaver

A remarkable work, ‘Jade Warrior’ would be the template upon which the band would build their unique sound – venturing stylistically between ethnic music, melodic, gentle ethereal and ambient sounds and heavier guitar driven rock.

By the time of the recording of this, their third album, in 1972, the band had expanded to a quartet with drummer Allan Price adding a new character to the band’s sound. ‘Last Autumn’s Dream’ was arguably the most fully realised album by Jade Warrior during their tenure with Vertigo Records, featuring such classic tracks as ‘A Winter’s Tale’, ‘Snake’, ‘Dark River’ and ‘Borne On The Solar Wind’.

Tracklist
1. A Winter’s Tale

3. Dark River
4. Joanne
5. Obedience
6. Morning Hymn
7. May Queen
8. The Demon Trucker
9. Lady Of The Lake
10. Borne On The Solar Wind

I don't own Last Autumn's Dream but the other album is very good. Interesting to see all these classic obscure 70s albums being re-issued at last !
