Its not only The Money Spider that has been rereleased, its also an similar album called Mission Impossible (mostly covers). These were originally released as 12" during the middle eighties. Rereleased on Acid Jazz (1993!) (jazidCD81 and jazicCD82). You can also find three of these songs on the "bbc sessions" release (CDNT010), recorded 87 and 88.
This is how they once started (except that James Taylor himself was in some kind of ska/punk band - Ive heard it once and its not really that good - anyway its impossible to get hold of - he hasen't even got a copy himself).
