This is the "budget reissue" of the only album released by this Swiss melodic rock quartet. Prior to changing their name to "Jade" around 1989, Rais, Kottelat and Artho were in a Swiss power metal band called "Sacrifice," who released one HTF vinyl LP in 1984 titled "On The Altar Of Rock"--> if anyone has this, PLEASE share. By 1991, the guys were clearly seeking greater commercial appeal, as "Precious & Wild," though containing some cool guitar sequences and solos, stays squarely in the realm of hard rock. Who do they sound like? Well, the vocals remind me of the Austrian band "Simple Service" and one reviewer on heavyharmonies.com heard similarity to Richie Blackmore. After listening, you guys could probably provide better comparisons than I....Enjoy and Keep Rockin'
