Edited one day agovery good sounding pressing. no surface noise and good dynamics. 10/10
Edited 9 days agoreferencing Business As Usual (LP, Album) CBS 85423
ottima incisione, assolutamente piena di vita e con una gamma dinamica migliore della versione streaming a cui ero abituato.referencing Business As Usual (CD, Album) CDCBS 85423
This 1st Japanese release for the Australian market CD is still the best sounding version,
especially if you are going to play it on a revealing, high-end home-audio rig.
This release is GOLD!!

My wife picked this up at a yard sale for $0.50 cents. Just cleaned it up (pre clean and ultrasonic clean) dead quiet and punchy!! Fantastic!!- MOFI copy #005020, just released again this summer so I got a copy. Definitely an improvement over my original US pressing. The MOFI has improved mid-range, percussion and better bottom end that the original was a bit lacking on. Some of the compression in the upper mids and highs has been turned down so it opens up the airiness in the upper end and brings the vocals into more of a natural range. This MOFI is worth investing into if this album is important in your collection.
- AAA, and sounds great to boot!
words words words words. 
Look up "cheap heat" in the dictionary and it will show this pressing. So dynamic, lots of detail and slam...super quiet noise floor. It was a favorite as a kid and so much fun to really hear details I could not have heard on my 80s system or on FM.
This can be purchased Near Mint for practically nothing and it's worth every penny and more. My copy sounds excellent. The music is very clean and crisp. I'm listening at a low volume and the music jumps out of my speakers. I couldn't ask for more when purchasing a used vinyl that is 40 years old. Happy with this record!

Spent 7 € in a local record shop for a near mint condition. Sounds really legit. Nice dynamics and clear sound.
Can recommend this pressing.

I have heard these songs for 40 years and in various places, but not on vinyl and not on a high-end audio system. This 82' US press is incredibly punchy with a really good low end. Not easy finding late 70's early 80's records that hit the subs like this one. So, I have to agree with every word FranksAndBeenz said below
