A perfect summary of a legendary career, this entry focuses on “The Best of Earthshaker.” This 12-inch vinyl LP, released on September 21, 1987, via the Nexus label (catalog number K28P 683), holds the distinction of being the charismatic Japanese heavy metal band’s very first “best of” album. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.
Serving as an ideal introduction for new fans or a powerful retrospective for longtime listeners, this compilation gathers ten of the band’s most representative and famous songs from their classic 80s period.
The tracklist is a flawless run of their biggest hits, including the iconic anthems “Radio Magic,” “More,” “Earthshaker,” “T-O-K-Y-O,” “Fugitive,” and the beloved ballad “Arigatou Kimini.” It’s an essential collection that perfectly captures the melodic power and songwriting prowess that made Earthshaker one of Japan’s most important heavy metal bands.
