Rarity Scale – Very Rare
Here we have a super nice complete UK 1st pressing with earliest 111 stampers from the debut album by “Jade Warrior”.
The disc of this copy is in EX+ condition. Visual this copy is near perfect. The vinyl stell has its lovely sheen with only a very few super small hairlines which are all inaudible. The disc plays really nice with only some minor crackle during the very beginning and run-out of both sides and sometimes here and there during playback. Further the music plays absolutely loud and clear! Overall it is a very enjoyable disc!
Both labels are really clean with only one or two spindle traces on both sides.
The unlaminated gatefold sleeve is in EX condition. This release with an unlaminated cover (with dark colours) is super hard to find in top cop condition. The sleeve survived very well.
The front of the cover is really nice with only some minor wear near the edges. No major stains, tears, creases or other nasty defects. The bottom edge shows some storage wear.
The spine is intact and is fully readable. There is some minor wear visible. The opening of the sleeve is still very nice.
The back of the sleeve is really nice with only some minor wear. Much better compared to most copies.
The inside of the gatefold is lovely with only some age wear near the edges.
This copy comes with the correct original Swirl inner sleeve with correct date code.
Please take a very good look at the photos to get a good impression!

A large selection of rare vinyl records from the golden era.
“Jade Warrior” is UK progressive rock outfit with a unique progressive sound. The most important albums by the band were released on the legendary “Vertigo” label.
The group was formed in 1970 and emerged out of “July”. “July” released maybe the best UK psych album of all times. Extremely rare and very expensive nowadays.
“Jade Warrior” released their first album, simply called “Jade Warrior” (up for sale here) in 1971. The music on the album is unique. It is progressive rock. No doubt about that. But it has a unique style. Far Eastern influences were added to the sound which gives it a fantastic vibe. The musicianship is out of this planet. Fantastic guitar work!! From start to finish this album is fantastic. It is one of my favourite UK Vertigo releases from the “Swirl” period.
After their debut, the band released 2 other albums on Vertigo. A third album (“Eclipse”) was never released but was recorded. Their is only one test pressing copy in the world which of course is a holy grail for many.
After their Vertigo period, the group released 4 other albums on the “Island” label in the 70’s.
The group came back in the mid-80’s and released work during the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s.
