BACKGROUND
‘The Business’ is an instrumental reworking of ‘Take It Or Leave It‘ from the album ‘Absolutely‘. ‘Take It Or Leave It‘ was inspired by the name of a Roxy Music track and set to quirky music presumably inspired by Sixties spy films. Mike Barson mentioned that writing it was mainly a poetic expression of my continuing mental state, though I wished I’d written it as some subtle message about the atomic bomb. The Business was from the B-Side of ‘Baggy Trousers‘.
