Eddie Money – Greatest Hits, Sound Of Money (1989)

Classic Rock, Melodic Rock | AOR, Rock Leave a comment

It’s maybe a little exaggerated to name this a “Greatest Hits” as four of the tracks were exclusive to the release. Three new tracks recorded for the album and the live version of “Where’s The Party?” from the Westwood One Live broadcast the previous year. There is no weak songs on the album and overall the it gives a very good impression of Eddie Money in the time when his success peaked.
