Is Money in 7/4?
[edit]Just checking. Isn't it (mostly) in 7/8? -- LodeRunner 17:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
this is a philosophical question--strictly speaking you could argue it's in 7/16 or even 4/4. but i'd tend to consider it 7/4, since there are 7 strong downbeats (i.e. quarter notes) and the fact that it's a shuffle beat would suggest each beat is made of two eighth notes, played as a triplet quarter note + a triplet eighth note. --Progjunky 13:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's 7/4. I have an 'original' score, since 1980, a Warner Brs production, it is reported as 7/4. I am not sure I can post a scan due to copyright infringment.
Sources
[edit]Any source where it really states that Waters was against the selling of this album? 14 april 2007
-I just noticed this too, as well. I'm adding a citation needed tag, and someone can fix that up if they care to. 65.12.134.148 (talk) 00:03, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
I'd also like a citation on the statement that Capitol Records would not allow the use of "Money" for this compilation. "One of These Days" would have had to been licensed from Capitol also. So why did they license one and not the other? I think it's more likely "Money" was re-recorded to sucker fans into buying this compilation, to hear the "new" version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leamanc (talk • contribs) 21:39, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- Go ahead and add the tag (if it'll do any good; the article currently has several tags added years ago). But I'd advise against adding your alternate theory (unless you have a citation for it). --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 00:15, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I added the citation needed. I have no source for my theory about the intention for re-recording "Money," as it's only a theory of mine, and there's very little documentation out there about this album. The statement in the article is also dubious because Columbia Records probably wouldn't have done the negotiations anyway. The Floyd themselves own the copyright on all their music post-Dark Side of the Moon; Columbia was merely their American distributor for 25 years (1975-2000). You will notice that all the Floyd albums that came out on Columbia in the US originally are now available in the US on Capitol, as they went back to their original American distributor after the Columbia contract expired. Anyway, what I am getting at here is that the band themselves would have done the negotiations to use any tracks they didn't own the copyright for (in the case of this album, "One of These Days" and the original recording of "Money."). Also, the more recent compilation, Echoes, features the original version of "Money." In short, I do believe the band had enough clout to include whatever songs they would have liked on their compilation albums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leamanc (talk • contribs) 22:17, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Got ideas?
[edit]Has anyone got any ideas, what this album is?
http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=171849
It's an official (though just issued in Hungary), but from 1983 and with the same tracklist. --62.168.170.155 (talk) 08:01, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Drums on the re-recorded "Money"
[edit]I am pretty sure that Dave didn't play the drums on the re-recording of "Money". He proved that he can do better than that already on "The Narrow Way" in 1969. Instead, the drum part was programmed, probably by him. You can hear it in the way the cymbal crashes always sound the same, and the figures constantly repeating, without any fills and breaks. --82.113.106.192 (talk) 16:38, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Revert war
[edit]Everyone who has been undoing and redoing changes to this article recently, cool it. Almost none of the changes make a bit of difference since they're changing links to redirects into links to the articles they redirect to, and back again. Stop making useless reverts. - dcljr (talk) 06:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- User 79.43.96.157 is a crosswiki vandal: see [1] [2], [3], [4]. Thank you. --Euphydryas (talk) 07:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- No actions described in the administrator's noticeboard entry you link to is happening in this article. The editor in question is changing links to redirects into links to the target articles of those redirects (and some edits are merely changing lower-case to capitalized article titles). These are legitimate, if unnecessary, edits. They are not vandalism and should not be treated as such. - dcljr (talk) 05:48, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
