Charting the Hit: Loudness’ ‘Risky Woman’ 12-Inch Single (P-3602)
This entry focuses on a single release from Japanese heavy metal titans Loudness during their international peak. We are looking at the 12-inch vinyl single centered around their catchy anthem “Risky Woman,” released in Japan by Warner-Pioneer Corporation with the catalog number P-3602.
Issued in 1986, this 12-inch single (likely 45 RPM for enhanced sound quality) features three tracks and served as a primary commercial release complementing their album releases of the period (“Shadows of War” domestically, marketed as “Lightning Strikes” internationally). “Risky Woman” was a key song from this era, perfectly blending the band’s heavy metal power with strong melodic hooks suitable for wider airplay.
The tracklist includes:
A1: Risky Woman
A2: Silent Sword
B1: The Night Beast
The A-side features the title track alongside “Silent Sword,” both showcasing the classic lineup delivering polished and powerful hard rock performances. The B-side offers “The Night Beast,” providing another strong example of the band’s potent output from this era.
P-3602 represents the high-quality 12-inch single format release of key songs during Loudness’ most commercially successful international period. It’s a vital piece for collectors wanting this specific format and captures the band’s potent combination of metal energy and arena-rock appeal.
