Men At Work "Anyone For Tennis"

Not sure if this track has been discussed here, but "Anyone For Tennis" is the great instrumental B-side of their 1981 single "Who Can It Be Now". I remember buying the single in 1982 when it was a hit in the USA and every time I played the A-side I would also play the B-side because I liked it so much.

I've found no evidence of this track ever being released on CD, even on the "Business As Usual" or "Cargo" 2003 Columbia/Legacy remastered CDs which each included B-side bonus tracks.

Looks like the only 12" it ever appeared on was the Netherlands 12" release of "Who Can It Be Now". Curious if anyone might have a good lossless recording from that 12"? I'm assuming the 12" would have better audio quality than any of the 7" releases. Did DJPaulT ever do a rip of it? I hadn't thought to check his blog first....

I have the 7" but nothing to digitize it on :x But I agree, MAW did great instrumentals! My particular favourite is "F-19" from "Be good Johnny". I'd love to hear the vinyl rip of that as the CD reissue seems quite compressed... And yes, I second the request for "Anyone for tennis", would love to hear that!

Guys, turns out I have the vinyl rip of "Anyone for tennis"! I forgot where I downloaded it from but sounds like maybe it's a 12". Here it is: https://www119.zippyshare.com/v/I37WHUur/file.html
