Badfinger: Apple Records

The tragedy of Badfinger lies in that they were hopelessly out of time. Their peak of activity fell upon the period when pop had been firmly replaced by more fresh and unexplored genres like prog or hard rock. And due to management problems that were terrible indeed, they never managed to capture that part of the audience that had always preferred pop music to any other genre. Methinks that if they hadn't signed up with such a fluke organization as Apple, been cheated and mistreated by greedy managers, deprived of all their royalties, used up and squeezed out by corporate industry, or experienced such a stupid marketing strategy (their last record, which was supposed to be able to really keep them going strong, was pulled from the stores several weeks after its release), the world could have easily skipped the Carpenters and the Osmonds, and general public tastes would be far more laudable.
Badfinger (CCM reissue, 2007) On September 18, 2007, Collectors' Choice Music reissued the two albums Badfinger made for Warner Brothers Records in 1974, their self-titled LP and "Wish You Were Here". The CDs are most likely copies of the German CD reissues, and are low budget releases selling for a list price of $12.98.
The material is Badfinger and the production credits are shared by George Harrison and Todd Rundgren on their second LP on Apple. FM attention should be given to "Take It All," "Name of the Game" and "Perfection," while Top 40 will pick up on the current hit single, "Day After Day." "Suitcase" would make a good follow-up.
Fans of Badfinger are bound to love songs like “Back From the Sky”, “Glue” and “Poor White Trash”. Most of their recordings can be heard on their web-sites and their two recent CD´s can be bought from this web-site.
