Description

'Head First' was recorded hastily, shortly after the completion of their brilliant 'Wish You Were Here'album, at a time when the band's career was in a state of real turmoil. Faced with legal problems and gross mismanagement' guitarist Joey Molland had left the group to be replaced by keyboard player, Bob Jackson and Pete Ham would soon take his own life. The resulting album has taken a quarter of a century to see its official release, and believe me, it has been well worth the wait. Pete Ham weighs in with two fine numbers, the pop rocker 'Lay Me Down' and ballad 'Keep Believing'. Tom Evans'more… powerful and vitriolic 'Hey Mr Manager' and 'Rock and Roll Contract' say much about his feelings towards Badfinger's management at the time. Mike Gibbins co-wrote the lovely 'Moonshine' keeping up the high quality of his contributions to Badfinger's albums over the years. Bob Jackson's efforts' 'Turn Around' and 'Passed Fast'(co-written with Tom Evans),add a heavier dimension to the procedings. The band's playing throughout is superb! My only criticsm of 'Head First' is its relatively short running time, though this is more than compensated by the inclusion of a bonus disc of demos recorded at the time. 'Head First' is an absolute must for lovers of this under-rated band!
