Release

"Dirty Cash" was sung by Melody Washington,[1] composed/played by Mick Walsh,[1] produced by Stevie Vincent[1] and released on the Mercury Record Label.[2]

"Dirty Cash" was first released in 1989 on Mercury Record Label,[2] then again in 1990 both on 7" vinyl, where it went to number one on the US dance chart.[3] Dirty Cash was then re-released as a remastered '97 remix in 1997. In June 2014, "Dirty Cash" was once again remixed, this time by Alan Fitzpatrick.[4][5]

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "Huge U.K. track is finally unleashed stateside sporting some new mixes. Seductive house track with an underground sensibility sports a tasty vocal hook and top of the chart potential."[6]

The Gavin Report wrote about the song: "British-based writer/producer Stevie Vincent spent six weeks Top Ten in the U.K. with this track, selling a quarter million copies in the process—no easy task in that market. Vocalist Melody Washington, a music teacher from Georgia living in England and teaching for the U.S. Air Force, met Stevie while she was playing in a local club near his home. A fortunate meeting for them and for us, who get to ride the rhythm of this exceptional entry."[7]

Network 40 wrote: "Almost a mood piece, "Dirty Cash" has a soulful vocal approach backed by a Euro-dance production somewhat reminiscent of the Pet Shop Boys."[8]
