A rare promotional gem from Japanese heavy metal legends Loudness takes center stage for this entry. We are looking at the promo-only 7-inch single for “Risky Woman,” released in 1986 by Warner-Pioneer Corporation with the catalog number PS-1044.
Unlike the commercial release (P-3602), which featured different B-sides like “Silent Sword” or “The Night Beast,” this “Not For Sale” vinyl offers a unique pairing. The A-side features the powerful hard rock anthem “Risky Woman,” a key track from their “Shadows of War” / “Lightning Strikes” era.
The B-side, however, features “Risky Woman (Instrumental Version).” This exclusive inclusion allows fans to focus entirely on the intricate backing track, highlighting Akira Takasaki’s guitar work and the solid rhythm section of Masayoshi Yamashita and Munetaka Higuchi without the vocals.
PS-1044 is a highly collectible item, serving as a specific promotional tool used to push the single to radio stations and industry insiders, offering a unique instrumental version not found on the standard 7-inch release.
