The whole album is great and entertaining from start to finish. An 80's must. Sounds very good. The pressing is fine. I recommend it.
Played on:
Technics SL-100C, Audio Technica VM-95C/E/ML (depending on record condition and taste), Rega Fono Mini A2D MK2, Technics SU-G700M2, Yamaha NS-777 -
Spent 7 € in a local record shop for a near mint condition. Sounds really legit. Nice dynamics and clear sound.
Can recommend this pressing. -

Edited 4 years agoNot gonna lie, bought it for 1.5€ for some pure "Down Under" nostalgia value. I enjoyed it much more than anticipated. Fun, light record with very good sound quality. -

Hello everybody, how do they two versions differ from each other?
https://discogs.librosgratis.biz/Men-At-Work-Business-As-Usual/release/8076612 -
This is actually not bad at all! The title "Business As Usual" is a bit misleading since the rest of their albums are pure rubbish. But If you take it through a first suspicious listen you'll find that the often hated saxophone really does a fine job on tracks like "Down by the sea" etc.
