HIDE Discography history with SAVER TIGER

After being recorded on 17/05/1985, and being produce by House Rock Explosion, the 1 LP (single album) of SAVER TIGER  (EXPLOSION), was released on the market on June 1985 as "trial single" . The LP contained only 2 songs.
  
· DOBLE CLOSS 
· GOLD DIGGER

That was the beginning of a glamorous carrier of the most spectacular paragon that ever art on Japanese musical stage
 1985 was the releasing year of a compilation of songs of SAVER TIGER and other bands on an collective (songs) album Named HEAVY METAL FORCE 3.Bring recorded between August 21st and Oct the 5th , the album was the big surprise of 85'.
the 4th ranked song of SAVER TIGER was "VAMPIRE" . It was composed by HIDE while he worked with PATA and TAJI for the "BREAK THE DARKNESS" which was also ranked number 3 song of above named band SAVER TIGER.


The LP is presented under a hand made aluminium format protective coat. It is extremely rare because it was released on the market only in 800 copies as first press sale on 1985

The generic album was very good welcomed by the public, fact which encouraged the young band SAVER TIGER and its members

it is very rare to be traced on sale this album not only that it was under a limited edition of only 800 copies but also because no real fan of HIDE will sell such a perfect treasure. 


Devil Must Be Drive Out With Devil

 in early spring of 1986 the 2nd colective album of SAVER TIGER and other few bands was on sale.

 The LP was recorded at DIG studio & released by Jam Soud Factory on Dec 1985.

It contains 12 tracks among which the hits such as  "Dead Angel" and Emergency Express" which were featured at radio frequently in that era .At the same time, HIDE has been recorded band leader, in SABER TIGER.
Also on sale(re-edited eddition) on Feb 2001

Being a member of SAVER TIGER had shaped more and more the skills of HIDE as musician,
which as a perfectionist he was never ceased to improve or to learn, leaving his public delirious mesmerized . What originally supposed to be just practice material it later on turned out to become a CD of Live recordings. HIDE decided that their work was just too good and everyone approved, so here there is the “rehearsal” album of SAVER TIGER.

SAVER TIGER was HIDE's band before he was asked to join X Japan. Hide was not only the leader of the band,

he was the most ambitious guitar lead player, it was no wonder Yoshiki Hayashi wanted him for his heart project X Japan. A DVD was on sale later on as well, for 2001 it was onky available on VHS tape.
Issued in December 1999 by the Autor Masahiko Araki ,
"REM" is a short history of HIDE's activity with his first band Saver Tiger, it contain memories that reflect band's day-to-day activity along with some great pictures of HIDE which I tried to bring here for you partially. Rem is a friendly written book and is highly recommended for any of you out there who try to reach out to HIDE . Rem was on sale on Feb 2001 after HIDE's tragically death in 1998
A 3rd Origin Of HIDE album was released featuring the following 9 same tracks ( I didn't find the difference between vol 2 and 3 except the changing of color of album's cover, but this is just a personal opinion)

4. PRINCESS IN THE DARK
5. VAMPIRE
