In 1973, the band recorded their next album, ‘Eclipse’. The studio sessions produced enough material for a double album, but Vertigo declined to issue the recordings.
Several tracks appeared on Vertigo various artist samplers but ‘Eclipse’, and a further album entitled ‘Fifth Element’ were never released. Following another series of US concerts, Jade Warrior split, with Jon Field and Tony Duhig reforming the band as a duo in 1974, leaving both ‘Eclipse’ and ‘Fifth Element’ unreleased for many years.
This new Esoteric Recordings edition gathers together these recordings from 1973 and presents them in remastered form as a double CD set, which also features an illustrated booklet with new essay. The songs have been remasted from the original Vertigo master tapes with fully restored artwork and a new essay.
