    Brilliant album, great collection of songs played exceptionally well. If you bought this just for the hit singles you’ll be impressed with the whole album. This pressing sounds punchy, vibrant with clear separation of the instruments. I’m so lucky to have found a NM copy in the UK for £5.

      Excellent album with an accomplished jazz singer in front of a swinging band. Nicely produced too: clean copies sound great! Perhaps it's all a bit unfashionable but "Bad Habits" was good enough to get crossover breakthrough. Can't hear any dud tracks on this under-rated LP.

        Amazing Australian singer/songwriter at the top of his game. This is a must own album.
