condition (record/cover): NM / VG+ (creasing and ring wear) No insert. The 1981 follow-up finds the Fair brothers pushing their art-punk experiments further into beautiful chaos. Loud strips rock down to its raw nerve endings - guitars scrape, drums pound with childlike directness, yet the songs possess undeniable power. The lyric sheet documents their stream-of-consciousness approach. Cover shows honest wear with some creasing and spine splits, but the vinyl plays strong. 1/2 Japanese had evolved into something truly singular - neither punk nor noise, but a third path entirely.
