This is an original single sheet printed paper advertisement (A.K.A. handbill, flyer or print) for a concert performance gig by professional musicians at a music venue or a music recording as released on CD and cassette. Obscure slices of Americana, these regional street art posters were usually printed in limited runs of a few hundred and often less than 100. This collection includes many unique pieces of music style outsider art, each individually hand-inked by the DIY artist.

A rolling sax riff and naive but sincere lyrics gave the song a compelling sense of urgency as well as a credible dance quotient. The Offs' LP, however, takes the band into fake jazz and reggae pastures and sacrifices that single's directness. The journeyman grooves, punctuated by corny horn parts, do nothing to launch the lyrics over their unrealized pretensions. The album offers cool, atmospheric music, but that's the best thing one can say about it. trouserpress.com We do not and will not sell reprints, copies or scans, so please don't ask.©A Sound Deal
