Let’s explore a fascinating and highly unusual release from the classic lineup of Japanese heavy metal band Blizard. This entry focuses on their 1986 7-inch single, “Statesboro Blues,” which carries the catalog number 12YE-001.
This is not a typical J-Metal release. It was issued as a special picture disc on the independent Yeah Records, a blues-focused label reportedly established by the band’s management company, Being.
This unique context explains the A-side: a cover of the blues-rock standard “Statesboro Blues,” famously performed by The Allman Brothers Band.
This single (12YE-001) captures the classic Blizard lineup (Seijirou Shimomura, Toshiya Matsukawa, Takayuki Murakami, Koichi Terasawa, and Hiroyuki Murakami) stepping outside their usual heavy metal framework to explore their blues-rock roots, making it a unique and highly sought-after item for collectors.
