Tokyo Blade originally formed in 1982, releasing their self-titled debut in 1983 (CD 1 of this release). Formed around guitarist Andy Boulton, he was joined on their debut by Alan Marsh on lead vocals, John Wiggins on guitar, Andy Robbins on bass and Steve Pierce on drums, making a significant impact on the burgeoning NWOBHM scene that had been popularized by Iron Maiden, Saxon, Tygers Of Pan Tang and Def Leppard, as well as finding support in the pages of Kerrang! magazine. By 1984, they’d developed enough of a reputation to appear alongside Metallica and Venom at Holland’s Aardschock festival.
By by the time of the second full-length album, 1984’s “Night Of The Blade” (CD 2 of this release), Boulton had been joined by Vicki James Wright on lead vocals, who ended up replacing Alan March’s vocals that had already been recorded for the LP, with Andy Wrighton replacing Andy Robbins on bass. This was also their first album released on Powerstation Records, the British independent HM label that also released records by Little Angels, Chrome Molly and Pauline Gillan (sister of Ian Gillan).
In 1985 they released their third full-length LP, this time for their own (slightly consumptive sounding) TB Records. “Black Hearts & Jaded Spades” saw a move away from the more NWOBHM and melodic hard rock flavour of their earliest releases towards a more glammed-up, radio friendly, keyboard augmented sound, aimed more towards the US and Japanese markets. This in turn led to shows with shows such important 80s rock and metal names as Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Mama’s Boys, Dio and Slayer.
This part of the story is rounded off by a fourth disc collecting together many rare EPs, singles and non-album cuts from the early 1980s, including tracks from “The Cave Sessions”, “Undercover Honeymoon” 12”, “Midnight Rendezvous” EP and “Madame Guillotine” EP. Also features lengthy and detailed liner notes from note NWOBHM and Tokyo Blade expert John Tucker.

International Shipping
Shipments to the USA
Our packages to the USA ship via a fully trackable USPS service, USPS Parcel Select. Your USPS number will be shown on the shipping notification email. This number will become active on the USPS tracking site once it enters the USPS network, which is generally within one week of despatch. These shipments generally take 10-14 days to arrive.
You can track for your USPS shipment here: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input
Orders to other major international destinations
Our international mail carrier is Whistl, the mail arm of the FedEx & TNT courier group. The standard service we use, Whistl Insight Packet, is part-tracked. This means that the number shown on the shipping notification email is only valid and trackable within the UK: once the package leaves the UK, the tracking information will not update again. This may give the impression that the package has become stuck, or is being held; please be assured that your package is en route.
This service generally takes 5-18 days since shipment,(this may vary relative to proximity to the UK), but can take up to a maximum of 40 days since despatch.
For the Republic of Ireland, please allow 3-10 days from shipment, up to 14 days since despatch.
For Australia and New Zealand, please allow 7-21 days from shipment.
Once the package enters your country, the final mile delivery will be handled by your national mail carrier. For example, in Canada, it will be delivered by Canada Post.
IMPORTANT: Whistl Insight Packet does not include full, end-to-end tracking. While we recognise that this is included as standard in many countries, unfortunately, this is still a premium service in the UK.
If you have not received your order within 40 days after purchase, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team

Please be aware that we will not falsely declare the value of an order for the purpose of reducing the likelihood of your package attracting a customs fee. In order to comply with customs laws both in the UK and internationally, we are obliged to declare the true sales value of the goods.
