5.7.0.5./ Bad For Business

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. No disrespect to this U.K. group intended, but when I listen to these tracks, I get a vision of the members of City Boy (maybe that wasn't their name yet...) sitting around thinking, "So how the hell do we break into this market? We sound like everyone else!" And one of the guys lights up with the clearly great idea, "I know! Let's try sounding a little like Queen! That's a real popular sound right now!" A round of applause, and that was that: "5.7.0.5." was born. :-) It was a Top 10 hit in the U.K. and cracked the Top 30 here in the U.S. The B side, also written by two band members, is equally Queen-like, in a good way! Note: The sleeve has a tiny bit of storage wear, grading Near Mint. The record itself looks and sounds new.
