{"product_id":"half-japanese-our-solar-system","title":"Half Japanese - Our Solar System","description":"\u003cp\u003e1000 copies pressed. 40th anniversary edition of ‘Our Solar System’, Jad and David Fair's third studio album as Half Japanese. Originally released in 1984, ‘Our Solar System’ is a wild and chaotic outsider take on the history of pop music. Including their suitably avant-garde renditions of The 13th Floor Elevators’ ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’, The Velvet Underground’s ‘European Son’, Buddy Holly’s ‘Because I Love You’ which is preceded by their own ‘Girl Athletes’ powered by a reverbed Bo Diddley rhythm.  A bravura performance of detuned excitement, 40 minutes of beautiful at times frantic disorder. Filled with guitar and sax arm wrestling and bizarre sidesteps including a fuzzy take on Grieg’s ‘Hall Of The Mountain King’ which devolves into the standard ‘Louie Louie’ plus a jittering version of Bobby Lord’s ‘Did You Miss Me’. “A prime example of lo-fi garage exuberance full of romance, confidence, and verve.” AllMusic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322756804985,"sku":null,"price":16.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/HalfJapanese-OurSolarSystem_600x600_crop_center_7d3a2b85-6ae5-4239-af93-2ff7ba219963.webp?v=1787903192","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/half-japanese-our-solar-system","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
