Today we look back at the very first official release from Japanese hard rock legends Earthshaker: their debut 12-inch maxi-single, “Blondie Girl,” issued on the Nexus label (King Records) with the catalog number K18P-405.
Released in 1983, the same year as their explosive self-titled debut album, this 45 RPM vinyl served as the band’s powerful introduction to the burgeoning J-Metal scene. It offered a concentrated blast of their sound, uniquely split between studio and live performances.
This four-track maxi-single features:
Studio Performance (Side A): A1: Blondie Girl A2: I Need The Woman Live Performance (Side B): B1: Earthshaker B2: MarionetteThese tracks perfectly encapsulate the early Earthshaker sound: a potent combination of raw heavy metal energy, driving riffs, powerful vocals, skillful guitar solos, and the burgeoning melodic sensibility that would become their trademark. The studio tracks showcase their polished potential, while the live tracks capture their raw stage energy right from the start.
K18P-405 is a crucial piece of J-Metal history, representing the very beginning of Earthshaker’s long and successful career and offering a unique mix of studio and live recordings on their debut release. For collectors and fans, this single captures the raw excitement and immense potential of a band poised to become legends.
