The first incarnation of the band featured Tony Duhig (guitars) and Jon Field (flutes, percussion), both of whom had been in the psychedelic group July, and Glyn Havard (bass, vocals).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSigning to Philips’ progressive Vertigo label, the band recorded their self-titled debut album in March 1971. A remarkable work, \u003cem\u003eJade Warrior\u003c\/em\u003e 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, the album was acclaimed by critics and has since acquired legendary status for its sheer inventiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn November 1971, the band’s second album, \u003cem\u003eReleased\u003c\/em\u003e, was issued. For the sessions, the band had now expanded to a quartet with drummer Allan Price adding a new character to the band’s sound. The sessions also featured a guest appearance from saxophonist Dave Connors. \u003cem\u003eReleased\u003c\/em\u003e was a huge progression from the band’s debut and featured such classic tracks as ‘Three-Horned Dragon King’, ‘Eyes On You’, and the epic 14-minute piece ‘Barazinbar’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLast Autumn's Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e was the band’s third and last album for Vertigo and was arguably the most fully realized album by \u003cstrong\u003eJade Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e during their tenure with the label. It featured such classic tracks as ‘A Winter Tale’, ‘Snake’, ‘Dark River’, and ‘Borne on the Solar Wind’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Esoteric Recordings celebrates the early years of one of Britain’s most unique progressive bands and features an illustrated booklet with an essay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esoteric Recordings","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50442777919819,"sku":"2194026","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2024-04-05_at_22.22.18_a34f0909_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727004447","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/borne-on-the-solar-wind-the-vertigo-albums","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
