Money on "A collection of great dance songs"
As most of you know, "Money" was re-recorded for this album with just Dave playing all of the instruments. Does anyone know the reason for this? And why only money and not the others?

While Pink Floyd remained on EMI Records in England (which is, I think the only major label in England,) thier record label in America changed after the release of DSOTM from Capitol to Columbia.
Since Capitol records held the copyright to the original recording of DSOTM, they also held the copyright to the original recording of Money. In order to keep from having to pay Capitol royalties, the song was re-recorded.
I would assume that Gilmour played everything simply because the others weren't available at the time.
