Half Japanese - Charmed Life

Originally released in 1988, this limited 'special art edition' of Charmed Life, released for Record Store Day 2019 includes a download coupon with an additional album-worth of unheard material. 
 
Charmed Life is Half Japanese's sixth studio album, and is one of the most accessible they made. But while it is more realised and fully formed an album than anything that came before it, don't take that to mean 'mature' - Jad Fair's lyrics are still as charmingly optimistic and full of love as ever, and his and David Fair's brat rocking tendencies are also as ever present.
