REQ: original Men at Work 'Down Under'

Did it ever show up on any official compilation/reissue releases? I heard the early take on YouTube and loved it.

Thanks in advance.

LOL, it's like the 70's rock version. Nope, I don't like it.

Colin also does a more introverted, folksy, more minor chords version:

I like the more recent acoustic version. The early version has a 70s porno soundtrack vibe in the beginning, but it could grow on me.
