I dig badfinger and spin them regularly. They were kind of kindred spirits to The Raspberries in my opinion. Some of their music is a little Beatles Lite for me. I’ve been listening to a later album “Say No More” which is a rocker.
That's funny. I pulled my copy out again and it's about 0.5 cm shorter at the bottom. The printing on the spines all line up the same from the top down to the Apple logo at the bottom, except that my digipak stops just a hair below the Apple while the others extend about 0.5 cm further. My copy is actually in excellent near mint condition, so it's not damaged, just constructed differently. Don't think it's a promo copy because all of those I've seen were in jewel cases. Oh and I bought it individually at Amazon I believe. Again nothing important, just weird. Mark
Badfinger (Joey singing) on Radio One February of 1970 [48 years ago this month!] Performing: Up On Cripple Creek
What's everyone's favourite song on Ass and Say No More? Personally, 'Timeless' and 'Rock N'Roll Contract' respectively.
Top 3 for each album: Get Away Blind Owl Timeless (tie: love! Apple of My Eye) Hold On Passing Time Because I Love You
If there was another Single picked by Radio records from "Say No More" album before it dropped off the charts, this illustration by Peter Max fits in with the period of the other two used on LP cover. [Sunrise Sail]
I Can Love You and When I Say Too Hung Up On You and Because I Love You What's everyone's favourite song on Ass and Say No More? Personally, 'Timeless' and 'Rock N'Roll Contract' respectively.
Nice to walk into a record shop and spot this: still seeing a few more copies "Wish You Were Here" around, no idea how "Limited" the pressing run was...
Dedicated to Rick Kellogg's Badfinger Web Ring site which signed off the Internet February 18, 2018 Rick's site consisted of Special Feature articles, Interviews, a Full listed Discography, Photo gallery and a "Lyrical Quote of the Day" from Iveys/Badfinger's catalog. It will be greatly missed, it covered exclusively Ron, Mike, Joey, and Bob's activities during the late 90's until 2017, it was a Newsletter online every Month for the last 15+ years. Thank you Rick for all your awesome work!
Cool, thanks for sharing that! Here's header from his site found via Google search QUOTE="botfinger, post: 18166811, member: 76513"]In 1999 or 2000, my Badfinger site was also registered with Rick Kellogg's Badfinger WebRing. [/QUOTE]
"Remembering George Harrison" He would have been 75 today, his distinctive Production work on Badfinger's Straight Up album, specifically the "Classic" Hit Single "Day After Day" and sharing the dual Slide guitar Solo alongside Pete Ham.
The Agora photos taken by Cleveland photographer Janet Macoska. March 4, 1974 (overall some raw photos from the concert) Badfinger 1 roll 35mm b/w Negatives from The Agora Ballroom 1974 with Copyright! | eBay
I 'messed' with the prints and negatives in Photoshop a little and had better luck fiddling with the negatives first and then inverting them. Here are the results:
Did they ever take a keyboard onstage for some of the songs? Two of those pics initially looked like Pete behind one, but zooming in I see it's a mixing board or something. Got me to wondering. Mark
In the dark? Yeah, those are at Agency Recording, upstairs. Listening to the tapes. One wonders what the Agora recordings sound like without the terrible overdubs.
There's a project in development to celebrate the famed Agora Ballroom with a film "Live at the Agora Movie" started by friend's of the original owner, now deceased Hank La Conti Live At The Agora I doubt Badfinger is given much attention in it though they appeared and tried to record their performance, later officially released via Rykodisc/Independent records in 1990.
There was in circulation a copy of radio broadcast from WMMS "Night Out At Agora" days after the band played, it's still a rough sounding concert.
You should plug the photos into 1990 by replacing Mike's snare with a loud synthetic drum, and replacing Tom's bass with Joey's. And rearrange the order of the pictures so that Joey's come first.
the Rykodisc release is a novelty, it didn't even encourage Apple re-releases. The band deserved a much better release, but the only material available is from the In Concert at BBC, short it maybe and minus the Hits still sweet Live gig.
