Live and Acoustic (By Ray Wilson)
(2002)

Millionairhead is the only album by Cut_, a project led by Ray Wilson. It was Wilson's first release on which he took on the majority of the songwriting duties.

The album proved to be a one-off project; Wilson would go on to record his own solo albums as well as with the reformed version of Stiltskin.

Wilson recorded a reworked version of "Another Day" for his solo album Change in 2003. He frequently plays some songs from this album at his solo concerts. Live versions of "Another Day", "Sarah", and "Gypsy" can be found on Ray Wilson Live (2004), live versions of "Another Day", "Sarah", and "Ghost" can be found on An Audience and Ray Wilson (2006).

In October 2007, the album was re-released worldwide with three bonus tracks which were previously released as b-sides.

DJ and trance producer Armin van Buuren has produced remixes of the songs "Another Day" (retitled "Yet Another Day") and "Gypsy" from Millionairhead. Both remixes have been released on van Buuren's own albums, and "Yet Another Day" was also released as a single.
