In the original recording, the drums were mono because you didn't have all that many tracks for them. When you record masters now, the drums are six tracks. Also, the drummer and bass player in this instance were much better musicians than the original guys who played the parts. Some of the songs were changed a little bit in order to take advantage of the extra skills of the performers. Then it was all remixed with digital echo and all the things that you use nowadays.
Some people prefer it.
But there was no way to leave it alone, because the original masters were thrashed. The same was true of Lumpy Gravy , so I had no choice but to rebuild it. If I were to go back and rebuild Money today, I might do it differently. We didn't have the all-digital editing equipment we have today for putting CDs together. I'll be the first one to admit that Money is probably the least satisfactory of all the reissues that have come out.
