The new vinyl edition of Colin Hay’s “Man @ Work” has three new versions of Men at Work songs that were not in the original CD edition. “I Can See It In Your Eyes”, “It’s A Mistake” (new acoustic version) and “Down By The Sea”, with the sax line by the late Greg Ham.
At the record’s booklet Colin Hay wrote some words about his friend:
“What can I say about Greg?
I miss him more with the passing of time.
This was one of the last songs we recorded together a few years ago.
He plays such beautiful, sad saxophone, which transports me to the sandy beach at Walkerville as the sun’s going to bed.”
Listen to the new version of the song below:
