Greed is the third studio album by American post-punk band Swans. It was released in 1986, through record label K.422. Greed marks the slow turning point for Swans away from the harsh, brutal noise rock of prior releases,[1] and is also the first Swans album to contain contributions from Jarboe.
Background
Certain tracks utilize drum machines. The lead instrument on "Fool" is a grand piano. "Money Is Flesh" uses a synthesizer.
The first CD issue contained the Time Is Money (Bastard) single as bonus tracks. A later compilation released in 1992, Greed / Holy Money, combined Greed with nearly every song from Holy Money (barring "Fool (#2)" and "Money Is Flesh (#2)"), as well as "A Screw" and "Blackmail" from the A Screw EP and "Time Is Money (Bastard)" from its respective single. This compilation, with its entirely re-organized tracklist, saw re-issue in 1999 in the double-disc set Cop/Young God / Greed/Holy Money, which included the Cop album and Young God EP.
