Jade Warrior Last Autumn's Dream (Vinyl, Vertigo Records, 1972) ****
Genre: Prog rock
Places I remember: The Record Store (Palmerston North). This is a new store that's just popped up in Palmy. Well worth a repeat look next time we visit.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Morning Hymn
Gear costume: A Winter's Tale

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4
Active compensatory factors: This was the band's third album and their last on Vertigo. I wrote about their first album for Island, Way of the Sun, just a short while ago. That one was released straight after Last Autumn Dream, but it sounds like a different band in many ways.

This earlier album is a lot more experimental and varied. From a guitar wig out on Snake and the funky May Queen to a potential hit single - The Demon Trucker. Along the way are ambient flute tracks!
This band is never less than interesting!
Where do they all belong? I'll keep an eye out for their first two albums on Vertigo.
