On this day, February 3, 1986, The Firm released their second and final studio album, Mean Business. The supergroup, featuring Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company) and Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), continued their blues-influenced rock sound with this follow-up to their 1985 debut.
Mean Business reached #22 on the US Billboard 200 charts and included notable tracks like All the King’s Horses and Fortune Hunter. While the album had moderate commercial success, The Firm disbanded later in 1986, with both Rodgers and Page moving on to other projects.
Fun fact: The song Fortune Hunter was originally written by Jimmy Page for an unreleased supergroup project with Yes members Chris Squire and Alan White before being reworked for The Firm.
Trivia question: Which legendary rock band was Jimmy Page a part of before forming The Firm?
