The World Of B-Sides & Rarities, #26

Secret Machines - Money (That's What I Want)

Released on The Road Leads Where It's Led EP, back in '05, The Secret Machines attempted multiple covers on the short-player (including 'The Girl From North Country' and 'Astral Weeks') but probably my favorite of the bunch would be their take on 1959 mega-hit 'Money'. The single, originally recorded by Barrett Strong, hit #2 on the US R&B charts nearly forty years ago.

The tune's been covered over twenty times by artists ranging from The Rolling Stones, The Supremes, Shonen Knife, The Sonics, Cheap Trick, Buddy Guy and of course, The Secret Machines. It was even feaured in the classic film, Animal House!

Take a listen to the TSM version below and tell us how you think it compares to the original.
