Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King (Coloured Vinyl LP)

The seminal album from Half Japanese pressed on limited orange vinyl and featuring updated artwork and liner notes from Jad Fair and producer Kramer.

This is the Zen of Half Japanese, of prolific songwriter Jad Fair; wide-eyed crooner, humorous raconteur and spontaneous storyteller. A genre-bending romp through the mind of the man, originally released in 1989 in a purple patch for the group, preceded by ‘Music To Strip By’ and ‘Charmed Life’.
