Men At Work - Cargo - Japanese Vintage Vinyl
Cargo is the 1983 second album from Men At Work, the Australian band that had just conquered the world with Business As Usual. Recorded in Melbourne and Sydney, it proved the success was no fluke, reaching the US top 10 and delivering three hit singles.
Colin Hay's "Overkill" is the standout, a restless, late-night meditation that became one of the band's signature songs. "It's A Mistake" pairs a breezy reggae lilt with pointed Cold War satire, and the opener "Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive" shows off the band's quirky humour. Deeper cuts like "High Wire" and "No Restrictions" round out a sharp, melodic new wave record.
This is the Japanese edition on Epic/Sony, catalogue 25·3P-427. Japanese pressings from the early 1980s are sought after for their quiet surfaces and careful manufacturing, a good match for this crisp, detailed production.
A fine addition to any new wave collection.
