Paper money
Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAP : Paper money
Paper Money is the second album by the band Montrose. It was released in 1974 and was the last album to feature Sammy Hagar as the lead singer. This album was also produced by Ted Templeman and engineered by Don Landee. While this album has its high points, it is generally considered inferior to the first album. Original bassist Bill Church left the band before this album was recorded and was replaced with Alan Fitzgerald. Furthermore tensions between Ronnie Montrose and Hagar were about to come to a head, leading to Hagar's expulsion from the band. In spite of that, the record has a couple of standout tracks, most notably 'I Got The Fire', which has been covered live by Iron Maiden.
Although the liner notes for the CD edition of "Paper Money" said that Ronnie was offered to play lead guitar for Mott The Hoople when he left the Edgar Winter Group, Ronnie says that it never happened and was just a rumor.
