This little known UK Folk Rock classic released in the early '70s. Issued in England under the band name "Jade", it's a fantastic album featuring the Sandy Denny like vocals of Marian Segal. Orchestrated, melodic songs, powerful folk rock with electric guitar harpsichord, and soaring vocal harmonies, this has to be up in the top ten UK folk rock albums of the period.‘There is enough that is strange and beautiful on this first album to indicate that Jade have talent… The lyrics avoid many of the usual clichés and, I should imagine, spring from deeply-felt personal experiences, but musically some of the songs are not as strong as they might be’

A good album, some tracks better than others, personally I prefer the more acoustic numbers than the electric ones. At its best there are hints of Dando Shaft and Pentangle although these are restricted to a couple of tracks but worth the album alone!!!!
Thanks - This is a wonderful album.
Having listened to this album a lot I have to say that "Raven" would be worth the complete CD price alone.
Thanks !
