Description

Badfinger should have had everything going for them. They were privileged to have Paul McCartney's patronage, to be signed to the Apple label and to have their first hit “Come And Get It” courtesy of McCartney. They had other hits, “No Matter What” and “Day After Day” on both sides of the Atlantic. They were a talented band and skilled songwriters in their own right. This album brings together some of their greatest songs and of course the masterpiece which is “Without You”.Coming out of post-Beatles Liverpool, Badfinger had a unique quality which is encapsulated in this collectionmore…. Their unique style brings together ballads with progressive rock in songs such as “Come and Get It”, “Rock of All Ages” and “Carry on till Tomorrow”. Then there is the masterpiece “Without You”, a classic and much covered song which has become one of the most successful songs in British chart history. In 1972, Harry Nillson stayed at the top position for four weeks with the song, had an International hit and today this version is often listed amongst the top singles ever. More recently Mariah Carey covered the song for the album "Music Box".The sad fact is the Badfinger only ever made four albums, and maybe only today, long after the death of some of the band members is their music being rightly recognised. This is your opportunity to understand why Badfinger have a huge loyal following around the world.
