OFFICER! : Dead Unique

Mick Hobbs (The Work、Family Fodder、Half Japanese）にyるAYAAのスーパーバンドOfficer!の'95年録音未発表集。
2枚組LPです。
この未発表集が出たことにも驚きですが、'95年までやってたということも驚きですね。
Jad Fair (vocal)やJason Willett (bass, keyboard, trumpet)ら参加メンバーのせいかサウンドはハーフジャパニーズぽさもあります。
Tim Hodgkinsonも入っててヘンリー・カウぽいところもあり！
'90年代前半に流行ってたゴッドコーやハーフジャパニーズなどと同じくレコメンとLo-Fiの間見たいか感じ。
メガホン・レーベルとか好きな人にもオススメ！
