TrackTalk
We are surprised that the EP has sold so well. We do Poison Ivy and Money on the record, but they have already been hits. Money is on a Beatles EP (sic) and it has sold fantastically by other people. So we couldn't have been more surprised when the disc made the charts.
I can remember buying Barrett Strong's Money,
which was a really big R&B hit in America, but didn't happen when it
came out in England. When we saw that those things were popular, we said,
well,
let's do that. So we did.
