Jade - Faces of Jade (1972 US Stereo, Ohio) | Folk Psych Pop Rock | Full Vinyl Rip

Here’s my copy of Faces of Jade, released in 1972 on General American Records (GAR 11311). This Ohio private-press release blends folk-rock harmonies, melodic pop, and gentle psychedelic flourishes — a beautifully recorded regional LP that sits at the crossroads of soft psych and early 70s pop-rock. The band’s mix of acoustic and electric textures gives it warmth and color, while the songwriting feels polished but sincere. There’s a Midwest optimism throughout, wrapped in strong vocal performances and subtle fuzz guitar. For a local release, the production and arrangements are impressively tight. Faces of Jade is featured in The Acid Archives (page 165), where it’s noted for its high-quality songwriting and well-balanced mix of pop and psych elements — a hidden gem from the early 70s Ohio scene. Ripped from my original stereo copy. Standout tracks for me: Prelude Willow’s End, Well, and Flying Away. Similar artists: Lazy Smoke, The Lemon Drops, The Peppermint Trolley Company, and The Rising Storm. 📷 More vinyl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn Timestamps 00:00 Prelude Willow’s End 06:32 Blue Ways 09:49 Well 12:11 We (Got To Make It Thru) 16:03 My Mary (More Than Ever) 18:40 My Honey 21:06 Rest Of My Life 24:14 All Alone 26:21 Flying Away 28:44 Wait Till I Come Home #Jade #FacesOfJade #1972Vinyl #OhioRock #PrivatePress #FolkRock #PsychPop #SoftPsych #RareVinyl #VinylRip #VinylCollector #VinylCommunity #VinylPiper #ObscurePsych #AcidArchives
