The MONEY Trust Me albums were recorded from 1982 to 1983 at JD Blackfoot's Bison/Sisapa recording studios in Columbus. Trust Me 1 was produced by Gary Hedden, chief engineer at Bison. Trust Me 2 was produced by Joey Molland (Badfinger), who also used the band on his "After the Pearl" album. Trust Me 2 was also released in Europe on the EMI Heavy Metal America label. MONEY recorded more songs in 1987 and 1988 which were released as the "In the Red" CD in 1989. The band reunited and continues to self-release material.
