Black Hearts & Jaded Spades is the third album by English hard rock band Tokyo Blade. It was originally released in 1985 on Tokyo Blade own record label and in the same year reissued by SPV/Steamhammer. The keyboard-laden compositions of this album and the strongly down-tuned guitar sound, marks the complete detachment of the band from their new wave of British heavy metal roots. It was interpreted as an attempt to conquer the American and Japanese markets, where glam and pop metal acts dominated the charts, but to no avail.

The album was reissued on a remastered CD edition in 2002 and 2008 by Razar Ice Records and in 2009 by Lost And Found Records, with four additional tracks.
