Post 483 - Men At Work – Keypunch Operator – Down Under

This was a Self-released single issued in 1980 before they got a recording contract, according to some sources only 300 copies were pressed. The label uses "AA1" and "AA2" rather than the more traditional "A" and "B" usually used on 7" singles. The early version of "Down Under" has a slightly different tempo and arrangement than the later Columbia release.

Just won a copy on eBay to complete my Colin Hay collection; much of it personally signed. Glad to be in a rare group

Hi - thanks very much for the upload. Question - were the pictures in the download the actual cover and sleeves ? Discogs only mentions a plain white sleeve.Thanks again.

Hello, thank you for such amazing uploads. This record is super rare and almost impossible to get. Is there any chance you could share FLAC recordings of it? Many thanks again anyway!
