It's A Pleasure Doing Business (2024)

Originally released as It’s a Business Doing Pleasure on Aquarius Records in 1993, the original title has been reversed and two songs replaced for this limited edition vinyl version.

Nine of the ten songs were written by Marc Ribler and Brian Vollmer. Today Marc Ribler is the music director for Little Steven of Bruce Springsteen’s band. Contained here are the Canadian radio hits That Day is Gonna Come, Tug O’ War, and Look Me Straight in the Heart (a duet with Lee Aaron). 

Initially, this album came out only as a CD. The two tracks Sleeping in the Doghouse and Mad Mad World have been replaced by Still Got That Look in Your Eyes and Hung Over (But Still Hanging In) for this vinyl version. The two new songs were produced by Helix bassist Daryl Gray at Dawghouse Studios in St. Catharines ON.  The 10th song on the disc, Love is a Crazy Game, was written by the late Paul Hackman, Steve Maranachio, & Marc Ribler.

Musicians appearing on this album are Lee Aaron & Molly Johnson, Paula Tessaro (Ray Lyell Band), Anthony Vandenburg, Doug Varty, Brian Doerner (Saga), Daryl Gray, Mark Chichkan, Greg Hinz, Matt Keeghan, and  Rob Laidlaw (Platinum Blonde).
