Another brilliant song by The Who. As I hear it, they were the highlight of the years 1971-75. This was released in 1974 on an album of odds and ends recorded earlier, called Odds and Sods. This is my favorite from the album. Put the Money Down was recorded in 1972, and was also conceived as part of Pete's great but long-delayed Lifehouse project, from which his great songs from 1971-72 come from. Among other things, Lifehouse featured a lot of innovation with electronic music that other musicians learned from.
Before I walk on the water, put the money down!
