Notes
A Collection of Great Dance Songs is a compilation album released on 23 November 1981 in the United Kingdom by Harvest Records and in the United States by Columbia Records.
The album contains alternative mixes of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (comprised parts 1, 2, 4 and 7) and "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)".
"Money" was entirely re-recorded, as Capitol Records refused to license the track to Columbia/CBS Records. David Gilmour re-recorded the track himself, guitars, keyboards, bass guitar and vocals and co-producing the song with James Guthrie. Dick Parry reprised his saxophone role on the track. There are some differences between the re-recorded version and the original; mainly in the saxophone and guitar solos and the overall use of reverb and Gilmour repeating "away" at the end instead of the high pitch scat singing on the original. The drumming is noticeably different from Nick Mason's, especially during the guitar solo, with very little of the tom-tom fills heard on the original.
All songs featured in this collection are also represented (albeit not in the same mixed form) on the later collection, Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd.

This is not a UK pressing but a very scarce Irish variant pressing, Double dipped labels, the vinyl is translucent brown under light. Happy to be of help.

Sounds great, some noticeable surface noise but not too bad. -
-
This edition sounds like crap. Noise reduction, severe! Re-recording Money!? What? For the other contributor who asked, I agree, WHY??? A sad testament to greed...
-
Have ordered this album twice in Amazon… both copies were warped:( just keep it because love Pink Floyd and this album has re-recorded Money song…
-
The Dave Gilmour (basically solo, except for sax) version of "Money" is the weak spot on the album. An interesting novelty, but not as good as the original. Hover the guitar solo is quite interesting.
