THE FIRM: “MEAN BUSINESS“ [FULL ALBUM] 2-3-1986. (HD HQ 1080p)

“MEAN BUSINESS“ is the second and final studio album by The Firm, released by Atlantic Records on February 3, the same bluesy formula as on the first album, The Firm (1985), Mean Business did not achieve the same commercial success. The album’s title was inteneded to have a double meaning: that the music business is a hard one, and that the band was serious about its music. (“The Firm mean business“). However, perhaps due to the lukewarm-at best critical and financial success which the band met, Page and Rogers decided to disband The Firm within months of this album’s release. The album peaked at #22 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and at #46 on the UK Albums Chart. The single “All the King’s Horses“ spent four weeks at the top of Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
