Badfinger Day After Day CD

 Hmmm...
Well, the guy who said Badfinger were all hype is BS. Sure being on the same record label plus McCartney writes you a tune to record and having some of the same sound well for me what the hell is wrong with that? Badfinger were one of the best powerpop bands period. The Apple records are all good album, even the 2 warner and the newer released which was never released before Headfirst so basically ay album with Pete are the better ones and the latter day ones are just ok but not that bad as some may say. Anyway, I remember for a long time you had to listen to the LP's but eventually but not alot of the Badfinger music was released on CD, the two I remember was this and the Best of Vol. 2 (there was an import titles Shine On which contained selections from the 2 Warner releases). The Best of Vol. 2 CD just had the latter day albums songs. So that was it untill eventually in the 90's most became available but I eventually read somewhere that the Day After Day live had been tweaked with so that turned me off and tossed the cassette which I owned and stuck with the Best Of Vol. 2 but since not owning any albums on LP had to hears the hits off the radio. Now that I have all great but this is not added in my collection on CD and well should be taken off the market and well become an out of print CD. The BBC live album is a better way to go for anything live but have to say Badfinger in the studio is the way to go period. Even if not a great band live as some say they worked in th studio perfectly. Nuff Said.

 Worse show I ever went to ...
Sorry to undermine this review ... but Badfinger in the 70's was NOT a band that was good live. In fact, I'd say that going to one of their shows in LA was the worst BIG concert I have ever been too. They had NO energy and in fact, the bass player SAT ON A STOOL for most of the show. All of us were disappointed ... and none of us ever bought a Badfinger album again. Blame it on bad equipment, bad management or whatever ... this group was mostly hype and image in my opinion, sold to us by Apple Records??? Who knows ...

 Avoid
Buyer beware on this one. Another example of Joey Molland rewriting Badfinger's legacy. Had I known the extent of Molland's re-recording (drum sound, as well as apparently all guitars, some vox), Don't make the same mistake... vocals and instruments don't even appear to be in the same key through most of the CD. Stick with the studio albums, or the remastered 'greatest hits'.
