A key release marking a new phase for Japanese heavy metal legends Loudness is the focus of this entry. We are looking at their 12-inch single, “Let It Go,” released on Warner-Pioneer Corporation with the catalog number P-3601. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.
Issued on April 25, 1986, this 45 RPM 12-inch vinyl holds the distinction of being the band’s first 12-inch single released after their major move to the Warner label. It served as a powerful accompaniment to their “Shadows of War” album (the Japanese counterpart to the international “Lightning Strikes”).
The single features three tracks:
A1: Let It Go
B1: Farewell (Instrumental)
B2: Dark Desire (Instrumental)
The A-side features the title track, “Let It Go,” a driving and melodic heavy metal anthem sung entirely in Japanese. This version is the definitive domestic recording of the song. The B-side offers two compelling instrumentals, “Farewell” and “Dark Desire,” which allow fans to fully appreciate the intricate musicianship and compositional skills of the band.
P-3601 is a highly sought-after item for Loudness collectors. It represents their new beginning on the Warner label, offers the classic Japanese-language version of a fan-favorite track, and includes two exclusive instrumentals, all presented on a high-quality 12-inch format.
