BLIZARD dream tention E-7949

A special collector’s item from the classic era of Japanese heavy metal band Blizard is the focus for this entry. We are looking at their 7-inch flexi-disc for the track “Dream Tention,” released via Rockin’f magazine with the catalog number E-7949.

Issued in 1987, this single-sided, 45 RPM flexi-disc was not a commercial single but a free supplement (“furoku”) included with the popular rock magazine.

The disc features one exclusive, non-album track, “Dream Tention.” It was released to promote the band’s 1987 self-titled album, their first for CBS/Sony, and was produced by Daikoh Nagato.

It captures the classic, powerful Blizard lineup (Seijirou Shimomura, Toshiya Matsukawa, Takayuki Murakami, Koichi Terasawa, and Hiroyuki Murakami) delivering their signature melodic heavy metal sound. E-7949 is a highly sought-after item for collectors, offering a unique, non-LP track from the band during a pivotal transitional period.
