Big Fat Money

The solo on this track, from the Balance album, was recorded in one take on a Gibson ES-335 through Eddie's Marshall. Eddie was fooling around with some suggestions from Bruce Fairbairn, while unbeknownst to Ed, Bruce was taping his first attempt. Fairbairn decided he liked what he heard.

A lot of thought went into the coin sound at the end of the song. Everyone crowded around the recording console where they dropped quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies until they got the perfect sound.
