Mean Business

Mean Business is a studio album by The Firm, released by Atlantic Records on April 2, 1986. Repeating the same bluesy formula as the debut album, Mean Business did not achieve the same commercial success despite sellout tours. Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers[?] decided to disband The Firm within months of this album's release.

The album peaked at #22 on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart.
