“Here Come the Warm Jets” is the debut solo album by Brian Eno (credited as "Eno"), released by Island Records on February 8, 1974.  It was recorded in twelve days at Majestic Studios in London in September of 1973, produced by Eno following his departure from Roxy Music, and blends glam and pop stylings with avant-garde approaches. The album features numerous guests, including several of Eno's former Roxy Music bandmates along with members of Hawkwind, Matching Mole, Pink Fairies, Sharks, Sweetfeed, and King Crimson.  It peaked at number 26 on the United Kingdom album charts and number 151 on the US Billboard charts, receiving mostly positive reviews.


This copy is a U.S. Terre Haute Pressing (Variant 2).  The vinyl shows some rubbings and marks, but nothing the affects playback.  It is in Very Good Plus [VG+] condition.  The original cover is in Excellent [EX] condition, showing little wear of any kind.  The original plain black inner sleeve is split in the miiddle of both one side and the bottom.  Otherwise, it too shows little wear.  It is in Very Good [VG] condition.  

[Note that the labels on the disc are the Island Records black label late 9200 series (1974) variation - I have not noticed any other listings with that label (although some do not show the label and I may have missed some).  Not sure what that signifies.]
