Release Info: In It for the Money is the second album by Supergrass, released in 1997. NME called it "more fun than watching a wombat in a washing machine" and named it the 10th best album of the year. In 1998, Q readers voted it the 68th greatest album of all time, while in 2000 the same magazine placed it at number 57 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. Its sound is more focused and ambitious than their debut, I Should Coco.
It is speculated that Parlophone, the record label Supergrass were on, offered the band a sum of money to decide on a final name for the album, because they were taking too long to deliberate. However, the band themselves claim that they never received any of this money in return. Other suggestions considered for the title of the album included Hold On to the Handrail and Children of the Monkey Basket (which is now the name of the band's self-run website).
It was originally planned that the album cover would be an oil painting by Maff Burley, an old school friend of Danny Goffey, of the band curled up in a circular window at the Harvester surrounded by small insects. Supergrass decided later not to use this image, but instead a photograph of themselves "busking" during the filming of the video for their single "Cheapskate". Consequently, due to such short notice, this alternative version of the album cover was released only in Japan.
The album peaked at #2 in the UK Albums Chart, having sold 300,000 copies in the UK and 400,000 worldwide. "The fact that it has sold more worldwide than I Should Coco," said Gaz Coombes, "means we can sleep at night."
The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

12."Sometimes I Make You Sad" – 2:48 The guitar solo in "Sometimes I Make You Sad" was written during the recording of In It for the Money; it was recorded at half speed then sped up to achieve the mandolin-like sound.[3] The only use of percussion in the song is a cymbal, the drum noises were instead simulated by members of the band making 'grunting' noises. These were then put on a loop.
