Working Holiday! (1994) is a CD album released on the Simple Machines label. It is a compilation of tracks by American indie bands which were originally released on a series of 12 7" singles by Simple Machines as part of the Working Holiday monthly record club starting from December 1992. Each song was intended to commemorate a holiday in the month it was released. Subscribers to the record club were also sent a calendar showing the holidays, and a specially made 7" single carrying box.

A limited edition of the "Working Holiday!" album contained a second disc of live performances from a three day live music festival held in January 1994 at The Black Cat in Washington D.C. to celebrate the completion of the Working Holiday series. The 20 page CD booklet issued with all editions of the album contains a detailed and illustrated account of the record club project and the live music festival.
