MEN AT WORK Business As Usual (Limited Edition 2016 US Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab 10-track audiophile LP in the Silver Label Series, mastered using the Gain 2 Ultra Analog System. They came from the land down under. And they conquered the charts like no bandbefore or since, with a 1982 debut that shattered records by staying for 15 consecutive weeks at the pole position on the Billboard Top 100. They were Men at Work, a quirky bunch led by a Scottish-born vocalist whose humor, style& distinguished singing helped the quintet become one of the 1980s' definitive new-wave acts. Comes housed in a deluxe gatefold picture sleeve which is individually number stamped in gold on the back, complete with the series card inner. The sleeve & vinyl are Near Mint MOFI1-024)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Contains Smash Hits "Who Can It Be Now?" and "Down Under"
1/2" / 30 IPS analog copy to analog console to lathe
Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's renowned mastering system and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, this Silver Label Series LP retrieves an immeasurable amount of previously concealed details from the music. For the first time, the band's percolating rhythms, pulsating guitars, brassy horns, and whimsical beats come to fore without interference from congested mixes and a flat perspective. Spaciousness and imaging are restored, as is the rebirth of palpable dynamic contrast and instrumental separation. Above all, the record is more fun than ever before.
Anchored by two ubiquitous singles, "Who Can It Be Now?" and "Down Under," both still FM radio staples, Business as Usual signified a changing of the guard on the new-wave landscape. With leader Colin Hay's vocals bearing a passing resemblance to those of Sting, and his mates supplying what seems like a constant stream of keening pop-rock hooks, dance-baiting grooves, and brassy rejoinders, the record transcends any limitations and showcases a creative depth that extends to the album cuts. No wonder Men at Work soon shared stages with the likes of the Clash.
Further separating the group from the pack is its wit. Playful, carefree, and exuberant, the songs resonate with a looseness and joyousness with which the decade is forever associated. No deep thinking or profound analysis – just as the best pop tends to be!
