Danger Money is the second and final studio album by the
Polydor in March 1979. Early versions of "The Only Thing She Needs", "Caesar's Palace Blues" and "Carrying No Cross" (which had the opening chords to "Danger Money" in its intro)[2] had been performed on tour throughout 1978 by the band's original line-up with Bill Bruford and Allan Holdsworth
. "Rendezvous 6:02" and "Nothing to Lose" were both edited for single release.
The album was remastered in 2016 and included as part of the box-set Ultimate Collector's Edition.[3]
Writing
John Wetton recalled of "Nothing to Lose" that "I [came] in with the bulk of it, [Eddie Jobson] rearranged two verses, and then I wrote the lyrics."[4]
Recording
According to Eddie Jobson, the
CS80 solo on "Rendezvous 6:02" was played with all 16 of the instrument's oscillators in monophonic unison.[5]
