老實說，我已經很久沒對 A BATHING APE® OFFICIAL 的任何聯名產生濃厚興趣，但昨天（3/20）的發售「Original Headz」聯名系列著實讓我期待不已。

因為對於我這位 UNKLE 腦粉來說，這不但是A Bathing Ape久違地再度與James Lavelle領軍的UNKLE聯手出擊，還結合了 James Lavelle 昔日自家廠牌Mo'Wax的經典M.W.A.迷彩圖案；更重要的是，這次聯名名稱裡出現了「Headz」這個字眼。

網路上露出的新聞資料並沒有對於「Original Headz」名稱的由來特別著墨，但我之所以會對「Headz」特別在意，正是因為Mo'Wax在1994年發表過一張2CD/3LP經典合輯《Headz》：
【Disc 1】 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEATHsozp5c
【Disc 2】 https://youtu.be/f6t-yk5e_MQ

這張合輯的發表，標誌著該廠牌完全擺脫初期acid jazz色彩、正式成為trip hop/abstract hip hop重鎮的關鍵起點，所以也被FACT雜誌選為史上五十大trip hop專輯之一；而DJ Shadow的〈Lost And Found (S.F.L.) 〉與〈In/Flux〉、UNKLE的〈The Time Has Come〉等名曲，也都在這張合輯裡亮相。

附帶一提，《Headz》封面出自Massive Attack成員3D之手。
