Description
Half Japanese: “1/2 Gentlemen-Not Beasts” (3LP Box/ Armageddon Records – 1980) (Records: Excellent to Mint except for side 1 that contain some minor scuff marks that do not affect the playing/ Box : Excellent with some minimal storage wear/ Comes with insert but booklet is missing). Half Japanese was started in the mid-70's by brothers Jad and David Fair, in a Michigan bedroom replete with instruments, electronic devices, and other noisemakers. Neither Fair knew how to play their instruments (at least not in the conventional sense) but nevertheless had the creative vision to manufacture musical sounds from the gadgets at their disposal. With no interest in chords or melody, the duo recorded several homemade cassettes and a couple seven-inches in classic (and, given the era, trailblazing) do-it- yourself style. These early recordings were spread around the underground, eventually reaching the small British label (Armageddon) that signed Jad and David (then having moved to a Maryland bedroom). The first Half Japanese album followed in1979, a three-record box set (!) titled Half Gentleman/Not Beasts which compiled many of the home recordings and a couple live sets. It is said to be, not surprisingly, the only three-record debut album in the history of rock. Long out-of-print, cacophonous songs and inventive, minimalistic instrumental experiments. Rare and hardly ever resurfaces, until now.....great shape and no reserve so let yourself go and get a nice Xmas treat for yourself....
