Unleashing the Beast: X-Ray’s ‘Human Dog’ 12-Inch (12HS-5)
Exploring the classic era of Japanese melodic heavy metal band X-Ray brings us to their 12-inch maxi-single, “Human Dog.” This release, issued on Teichiku Records with the catalog number 12HS-5, arrived on December 16, 1985. This particular copy retains its original outer shrinkwrap with the obisticker intact.
Likely released around the same time as their “Strike Back” album, this 45 RPM 12-inch vinyl offers a powerful, high-fidelity presentation of key tracks. Maxi-singles like this often served to highlight specific songs or provide exclusive versions for dedicated fans.
This three-track single features:
A1: Human Dog
A2: Fade Away
B1: Burnin’ Like The Fire (Long Version)
The A-side delivers two potent examples of X-Ray’s signature style – likely featuring soaring vocals, powerful riffs, melodic guitar solos, and a driving rhythm section. The B-side offers a special treat: a long version of “Burnin’ Like The Fire,” potentially extending the instrumental sections or adding extra verses, providing a unique take on the track. The release also included an insert with bilingual lyrics.
12HS-5 is a valuable item for X-Ray collectors and fans of classic J-Metal. It captures the band’s polished and powerful sound on a high-quality format, featuring strong original tracks and an exclusive extended version. The intact original packaging makes this copy especially desirable.
