(Rob Stawinski is sitting in for Mike in this video)
Badfinger finished recording its third album with
Geoff Emerick as producer; however the album was rejected by Apple.
George Harrison then took over as producer in spring of 1971.
Harrison later pulled out of the project due to his
Bangladesh commitments and the album was then
completed by Todd Rundgren.
"Straight Up" was released in the U.S. in December 1971
and spawned two successful singles: "Day After Day" (Billboard #4)
and "Baby Blue" (#14). The album reached #31.
It included some uncredited special guest appearances from George Harrison,
Leon Russell and Klaus Voormann.

Note: Lyrics below
From Wiki: "Day After Day" is a song recorded by the rock/pop band Badfinger for inclusion on their 1971 album, Straight Up.
The song was written and sung by Pete Ham and produced by George Harrison, who plays some of the slide guitar parts of the song along with Ham. The record also features Leon Russell on piano. As the song was unfinished at the time Harrison left the Badfinger album to produce the Concert for Bangladesh, the final mix was done by Todd Rundgren, who took over Straight Up after Harrison's departure.
Released as a single in the U.S. in November 1971 (January 1972 elsewhere), it would become the group's highest charting single there, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. It also peaked at #10 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1972. It remains the band's best-known song, most notably for the slide guitar solos. It went Gold in March 1972, becoming the band's first and only gold single. The single reached #10 on Billboard's Easy Listening survey.
Because of all of the overdubs, Badfinger was hesitant to play this song live for years, since it was impossible for a four-piece group to reproduce the single production. However, the song was included in the setlist for Badfinger's 1974 tour.
Lyrics:
Day After Day (Ham/Evans/Molland)
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
[dual slide guitar solo (Pete Ham and George Harrison)]
Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you...

Production started by George Harrison, but Todd Rundgren completed George's four tracks and Todd produced/mixed the whole LP. Two hits from it were "Day After Day" and "Baby Blue." Truth was, this was actually a gold selling album, but it was never announced as one, and it would have likely been a Top Ten on Billboard charts instead of Top Thirty, but with Allen Klein running Apple Records at the time he illegally supplied out the U.S. Badfinger albums and other non-Beatles Apple artists for under the table deals to corrupt distributors - thus keeping droves of the Badfinger sales off the books, as Klein pocketed money and Straight Up lost some chart rankings. Klein was busted for this scam later on. Though he did some good deals for people, he was a crook at heart and who knows all that he got away with.

Badfinger were a British rock band that originally consisted of Pete Ham, Mike Gibbins, Tom Evans and Joey Molland. The band evolved from an earlier group called The Iveys that was formed in 1961 by Ham, Ron Griffiths and David "Dai" Jenkins in Swansea, Wales. They were signed by the Beatles' Apple label in 1968 as The Iveys. In 1969 Griffiths left and was replaced by Molland, and the band renamed itself Badfinger.
Badfinger had four consecutive worldwide hits from 1970 to 1972: "Come and Get It" (written and produced by Paul McCartney), "No Matter What", "Day After Day", and "Baby Blue". Their song "Without You" has been covered many times, including a Billboard number one hit for Harry Nilsson.
In 1970, the band engaged American businessman Stan Polley to manage their commercial affairs. Over the next five years the band recorded several albums for Apple and toured extensively, but became embroiled in the chaos of Apple Records' dissolution. They signed to Warner Bros., but Polley's financial machinations resulted in a lawsuit by Warner over missing escrow account money. Warner's consequent withdrawal from market of the 1974 album, Wish You Were Here (seven weeks after its release), cut off the band's income. Three days before his 28th birthday, on 24 April 1975, Ham committed suicide by hanging himself, leaving a note that included damning comments about Polley.
Over the next three years, surviving members struggled to rebuild their personal and professional lives against a backdrop of lawsuits. The albums Airwaves (1978) and Say No More (1981) floundered, as Molland and Evans see-sawed between cooperation and struggle in attempts to revive and capitalise on the Badfinger legacy. Having seen Ham's body after Ham's wife had called him, Evans reportedly never got over his friend's suicide, and was quoted as saying in darker moments, "I wanna be where he is." On 19 November 1983, Evans also took his own life by hanging.
After receiving an invitation from Collins, Beatles' roadie/assistant Mal Evans and Apple Records' A&R; head Peter Asher saw them perform at the Marquee Club, London, on 25 January 1968. Afterward, Evans consistently pushed their demo tapes to every Beatle until he gained approval from all four to sign the group. The demos were accomplished using a mono "sound-on-sound" tape recorder: two individual tracks bouncing each overdub on top of the last. Mal Evans' support ultimately led to their signing with Apple on 23 July 1968 -- the first non-Beatle recording artists on the label. Each of The Iveys' members were also signed to Apple Corps' publishing contracts.
The group's first single, "Maybe Tomorrow", was released worldwide on 15 November 1968. It reached the Top Ten in several European countries and Japan, but only number 67 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and failed to chart in the UK. The US manager of Apple Records, Ken Mansfield, ordered 400,000 copies of the single—considered to be a bold move at the time in the music business—and pushed for automatic airplay and reviews from newspapers, which he secured. Nevertheless, Mansfield remembered the problems: "We had a great group. We had a great record. We were missing just one thing ... the ability to go out and pick up people, and convince them to put their money on the counter" A second Tom Evans composition, "Storm in a Teacup", was included on an Apple EP promoting Wall's Ice Cream, along with songs by Apple artists such as James Taylor, Mary Hopkin and Jackie Lomax. The chart success of "Maybe Tomorrow" in Europe and Japan led to a follow-up single release in those markets in July 1969: Griffiths' "Dear Angie". An LP titled Maybe Tomorrow was released only in Italy, Germany and Japan. This was thought to be the work of Apple Corps' president, Allen Klein, as an Apple Corps' press officer, Tony Bramwell, remembered: "He [Klein] was saying, 'We're not going to issue any more records until I sort out this mess'
Ham's suicide and a break-up
With their current album suddenly withdrawn and their follow-up rejected, Badfinger spent the early months of 1975 trying to figure out how to proceed under the unclear legal situation. Salaries were no longer arriving and panic set in, especially for Ham, who had recently bought a £30,000 house in Woking, Surrey, and whose girlfriend was expecting a child. According to Jackson, the band tried to continue without Polley's involvement by contacting booking agents and prospective managers throughout London, but they were routinely declined because of their restrictive contracts with Polley and impending legal actions. Ham reportedly tried on many occasions to contact Polley by telephone during the early months of 1975, but was never able to reach him.

Badfinger was a British rock-band known worldwide in the 70s for such hits as “Baby Blue” & “Come and Get It.” They were also the most successful band ever signed by the Beatles’ Apple Records. Sadly, due to the financial misdoings of their manager Stan Polley, their money was stolen, their albums and sales were withheld, and the band was unable to play or record due to the financial complications caused by Mr. Polley. This ultimately led to the suicides of two of its members.

Music: From The Best Of Badfinger Album (2000) Track #3
Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue
All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue
What can I do, what can I say
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me the way
Don't you know the times I've tried?
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love you have for me, my Dixie, dear.

The Ham/Evans-penned Badfinger song, "Without You", became a Billboard number one hit for Harry Nilsson.

Badfinger - Baby Blue [Lyrics] [1080p] [HD]Badfinger - Baby Blue [Lyrics] [1080p] [HD]
Music: From The Best Of Badfinger Album (2000) Track #3 Guess I got what I deserved Kept you waiting there too long, my love All that time without a word Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret The special love I had for you, my baby blue All the days became so long Did you really think, I'd do you wrong? Dixie, when I let you go Thought you'd realize that I would know I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue What can I do, what can I say Except I want you by my side How can I show you, show me the way Don't you know the times I've tried? [guitar solo (Joey Molland)] Guess that's all I have to say Except the feeling just grows stronger every day Just one thing before I go Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow The special love you have for me, my Dixie, dear.

Badfinger - Baby Blue (1972)
For best Badfinger Discussion - the real story Facebook - Badfinger (public group) Best website - http://www.badfingerlibrary.com (Rob Stawinski is sitting in for Mike in this video) Badfinger finished recording its third album with Geoff Emerick as producer; however the album was rejected by Apple. George Harrison then took over as producer in spring of 1971. Harrison later pulled out of the project due to his Bangladesh commitments and the album was then completed by Todd Rundgren. "Straight Up" was released in the U.S. in December 1971 and spawned two successful singles: "Day After Day" (Billboard #4) and "Baby Blue" (#14). The album reached #31. It included some uncredited special guest appearances from George Harrison, Leon Russell and Klaus Voormann. -

Badfinger - Day After Day (1971 - HQ - Restored)
Note: Lyrics below From Wiki: "Day After Day" is a song recorded by the rock/pop band Badfinger for inclusion on their 1971 album, Straight Up. The song was written and sung by Pete Ham and produced by George Harrison, who plays some of the slide guitar parts of the song along with Ham. The record also features Leon Russell on piano. As the song was unfinished at the time Harrison left the Badfinger album to produce the Concert for Bangladesh, the final mix was done by Todd Rundgren, who took over Straight Up after Harrison's departure. Released as a single in the U.S. in November 1971 (January 1972 elsewhere), it would become the group's highest charting single there, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. It also peaked at #10 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1972... -

`They Sold A Million` Badfinger BBC documentary
Badfinger were a British rock band that originally consisted of Pete Ham, Mike Gibbins, Tom Evans and Joey Molland. The band evolved from an earlier group called The Iveys that was formed in 1961 by Ham, Ron Griffiths and David "Dai" Jenkins in Swansea, Wales. They were signed by the Beatles' Apple label in 1968 as The Iveys. In 1969 Griffiths left and was replaced by Molland, and the band renamed itself Badfinger. Badfinger had four consecutive worldwide hits from 1970 to 1972: "Come and Get It" (written and produced by Paul McCartney), "No Matter What", "Day After Day", and "Baby Blue". Their song "Without You" has been covered many times, including a Billboard number one hit for Harry Nilsson. In 1970, the band engaged American businessman Stan Polley to manage their commercial affair... -

Sadly, due to the financial misdoings of their manager Stan Polley, their money was stolen, their albums and sales were withheld, and the band was unable to play or record due to the financial complications caused by Mr. Polley. This ultimately led to the suicides of two of its members.

Music: From The Best Of Badfinger Album (2000) Track #3 Guess I got what I deserved Kept you waiting there too long, my love All that time without a word Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret The special love I had for you, my baby blue All the days became so long Did you really think, I'd do you wrong? Dixie, when I let you go Thought you'd realize that I would know I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue What can I do, what can I say Except I want you by my side How can I show you, show me the way Don't you know the times I've tried?

Note: Lyrics below
From Wiki: "Day After Day" is a song recorded by the rock/pop band Badfinger for inclusion on their 1971 album, Straight Up.
The song was written and sung by Pete Ham and produced by George Harrison, who plays some of the slide guitar parts of the song along with Ham. The record also features Leon Russell on piano. As the song was unfinished at the time Harrison left the Badfinger album to produce the Concert for Bangladesh, the final mix was done by Todd Rundgren, who took over Straight Up after Harrison's departure.
Released as a single in the U.S. in November 1971 (January 1972 elsewhere), it would become the group's highest charting single there, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. It also peaked at #10 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1972. It remains the band's best-known song, most notably for the slide guitar solos. It went Gold in March 1972, becoming the band's first and only gold single. The single reached #10 on Billboard's Easy Listening survey.
Because of all of the overdubs, Badfinger was hesitant to play this song live for years, since it was impossible for a four-piece group to reproduce the single production. However, the song was included in the setlist for Badfinger's 1974 tour.
Lyrics:
Day After Day (Ham/Evans/Molland)
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
[dual slide guitar solo (Pete Ham and George Harrison)]
Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you...

Klein was busted for this scam later on. Though he did some good deals for people, he was a crook at heart and who knows all that he got away with.

Badfinger were a British rock band that originally consisted of Pete Ham, Mike Gibbins, Tom Evans and Joey Molland. The band evolved from an earlier group called The Iveys that was formed in 1961 by Ham, Ron Griffiths and David "Dai" Jenkins in Swansea, Wales. They were signed by the Beatles' Apple label in 1968 as The Iveys. In 1969 Griffiths left and was replaced by Molland, and the band renamed itself Badfinger.
Badfinger had four consecutive worldwide hits from 1970 to 1972: "Come and Get It" (written and produced by Paul McCartney), "No Matter What", "Day After Day", and "Baby Blue". Their song "Without You" has been covered many times, including a Billboard number one hit for Harry Nilsson.
In 1970, the band engaged American businessman Stan Polley to manage their commercial affairs. Over the next five years the band recorded several albums for Apple and toured extensively, but became embroiled in the chaos of Apple Records' dissolution. They signed to Warner Bros., but Polley's financial machinations resulted in a lawsuit by Warner over missing escrow account money. Warner's consequent withdrawal from market of the 1974 album, Wish You Were Here (seven weeks after its release), cut off the band's income. Three days before his 28th birthday, on 24 April 1975, Ham committed suicide by hanging himself, leaving a note that included damning comments about Polley.
Over the next three years, surviving members struggled to rebuild their personal and professional lives against a backdrop of lawsuits. The albums Airwaves (1978) and Say No More (1981) floundered, as Molland and Evans see-sawed between cooperation and struggle in attempts to revive and capitalise on the Badfinger legacy. Having seen Ham's body after Ham's wife had called him, Evans reportedly never got over his friend's suicide, and was quoted as saying in darker moments, "I wanna be where he is." On 19 November 1983, Evans also took his own life by hanging.
After receiving an invitation from Collins, Beatles' roadie/assistant Mal Evans and Apple Records' A&R; head Peter Asher saw them perform at the Marquee Club, London, on 25 January 1968. Afterward, Evans consistently pushed their demo tapes to every Beatle until he gained approval from all four to sign the group. The demos were accomplished using a mono "sound-on-sound" tape recorder: two individual tracks bouncing each overdub on top of the last. Mal Evans' support ultimately led to their signing with Apple on 23 July 1968 -- the first non-Beatle recording artists on the label. Each of The Iveys' members were also signed to Apple Corps' publishing contracts.
The group's first single, "Maybe Tomorrow", was released worldwide on 15 November 1968. It reached the Top Ten in several European countries and Japan, but only number 67 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and failed to chart in the UK. The US manager of Apple Records, Ken Mansfield, ordered 400,000 copies of the single—considered to be a bold move at the time in the music business—and pushed for automatic airplay and reviews from newspapers, which he secured. Nevertheless, Mansfield remembered the problems: "We had a great group. We had a great record. We were missing just one thing ... the ability to go out and pick up people, and convince them to put their money on the counter" A second Tom Evans composition, "Storm in a Teacup", was included on an Apple EP promoting Wall's Ice Cream, along with songs by Apple artists such as James Taylor, Mary Hopkin and Jackie Lomax. The chart success of "Maybe Tomorrow" in Europe and Japan led to a follow-up single release in those markets in July 1969: Griffiths' "Dear Angie". An LP titled Maybe Tomorrow was released only in Italy, Germany and Japan. This was thought to be the work of Apple Corps' president, Allen Klein, as an Apple Corps' press officer, Tony Bramwell, remembered: "He [Klein] was saying, 'We're not going to issue any more records until I sort out this mess'
Ham's suicide and a break-up
With their current album suddenly withdrawn and their follow-up rejected, Badfinger spent the early months of 1975 trying to figure out how to proceed under the unclear legal situation. Salaries were no longer arriving and panic set in, especially for Ham, who had recently bought a £30,000 house in Woking, Surrey, and whose girlfriend was expecting a child. According to Jackson, the band tried to continue without Polley's involvement by contacting booking agents and prospective managers throughout London, but they were routinely declined because of their restrictive contracts with Polley and impending legal actions. Ham reportedly tried on many occasions to contact Polley by telephone during the early months of 1975, but was never able to reach him.

Badfinger was a British rock-band known worldwide in the 70s for such hits as “Baby Blue” & “Come and Get It.” They were also the most successful band ever signed by the Beatles’ Apple Records. Sadly, due to the financial misdoings of their manager Stan Polley, their money was stolen, their albums and sales were withheld, and the band was unable to play or record due to the financial complications caused by Mr. Polley. This ultimately led to the suicides of two of its members.

wn.com/Badfinger The Tragic Story
Badfinger was a British rock-band known worldwide in the 70s for such hits as “Baby Blue” & “Come and Get It.” They were also the most successful band ever signed by the Beatles’ Apple Records. Sadly, due to the financial misdoings of their manager Stan Polley, their money was stolen, their albums and sales were withheld, and the band was unable to play or record due to the financial complications caused by Mr. Polley. This ultimately led to the suicides of two of its members.

Music: From The Best Of Badfinger Album (2000) Track #3
Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue
All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue
What can I do, what can I say
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me the way
Don't you know the times I've tried?
[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]
Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love you have for me, my Dixie, dear.

Joey Molland is the only surviving member of the original Badfinger. In concert at The Canyon, Agoura Hills, CA April 19, 2014, he performs one of Badfinger's biggest hit No Matter What from the 1970 album No Dice. Written and sung by Pete Ham, the Badfinger single peaked at number 8 on the US singles chart. 'You have no idea what went on': Joey Molland's emotional response to Badfinger critics article by Something Else! 12/31/2013: For Joey Molland, continuing forward under the Badfinger banner has been both a blessing — all of his other classic-era bandmates are dead — and a curse. Questions about where the money goes these days linger.
The controversy heated up when Badfinger, some four decades past the doomed band's brief hey day, returned to the charts after October's finale of Breaking Bad featured the group's 1971 song "Baby Blue." Pete Ham, Badfinger's main songwriter, and collaborator Tom Evans are long dead. Both died by hanging — in 1975 and 1983, respectively — and both were also said to have been distraught over royalty issues, after signing a disastrous deal with a late-period manager. (Ham's suicide note said: "Stan Polley is a soulless bastard.") Mike Gibbins passed in 2005, having suffered an aneurysm.
Which leaves Molland, who teamed with Evans for a post-Ham release called Airwaves in 1979 but then found himself touring opposite Evans with competing versions of Badfinger into the 1980s. That Molland, who replaced Ron Griffiths in time to help Badfinger reel off four consecutive smash hits between 1970-72, has become the keeper of the flame continues to rankle some. After all, he wasn't credited as a songwriter on "Come and Get It" (Paul McCartney), "No Matter What," "Day After Day" or "Baby Blue" — the latter three of which were written by Ham. Ham also collaborated with Evans on "Without You," which became a chart-topping 1970 hit for Harry Nilsson.
Molland — who recently released a long-awaited solo effort — finally responded to critics, many of whom have viciously criticized him for touring as Joey Molland's Badfinger, and for receiving a share of the band's songwriting fees.
"I've been reading some of the blogs about Badfinger and how I f**ked them all over, stole all the money, took credit for stuff I didn't do, caused Tommy and Pete to kill themselves and leave their families to fend for themselves," Molland says. "I don't know where I found the time to be such an asshole and write, gig, get married, have a family, make records, collaborate with Tom, Pete and Mike, try and get Ron G. paid some money (yes, it was me that paid the accountants to see if it could be done), not talk about their lack of courage to face up to Polley, and get to make Airwaves with Tommy even though he hated me — so they say. Now I'm an asshole because I do shows with Joey Molland's Badfinger? Well, I'll tell you what: You can all f**k off. You're a bunch of morons. You have no idea what went on in any band you weren't involved with — and I mean "in" the band. As much as you would like, you can't read minds — and have no idea what someone is thinking about."
By the way, here's how Bloomberg reports that Badfinger royalties are being split: The group's main songwriter or his estate — typically Ham — receives 32 percent of royalties for publishing and 25 percent of songwriting monies for songs released under the Badfinger name, while the other members (including Molland) and the group's original manager share the rest. Album shares, Bloomberg said, were split evenly at 20 percent for each member and Bill Collins, the manager.

In an era of Edison's Lighthouse, The Hollies and Blue Mink, The Iveys decided to rename themselves as Badfinger. The name was suggested by Neil Aspinall and referred to the working title of The Beatles' With A Little Help From My Friends, Bad Finger Boogie. It was said John Lennon composed the song's riff on the piano with one finger, as his forefinger was "hurt".But an album of Badfinger's showed the one-finger salute for its cover art.

The album was mixed, but to be reviewed by Apple first, as group left for tour
Singles planned "I'll Be The One" and "Name Of The Game"
George Harrison and Phil Spector remixed an Al Kooper overdubbed "Name Of The Game" but ultimately they killed the singles and the album release.
George started a new album as producer and that was finished by producer Todd Rundgren - in what was to become "Straight Up".
This remaster is from a tape copy - there are some dropouts - but it is made as analog a sound as possible to recreate a feel for what the LP may have come out like.
Orchestral arrangements - George Martin - John Barham has been credited for "Name Of The Game" at times , but Geoff Emerick says it does sound more like George's work, especially he is sure it is George Martin for "Money/Flying." Geoff used three different arrangers during his time producing Badfinger (also Harry Robinson).
I've lobbied for years to get a CD package with this original album and Straight Up packaged with demos, outtakes and rare live performances of the time. But it has never happened, for various reasons. Maybe one day ....

01. Feelin' Alright 8:29 [Traffic/ Dave Mason]
02. Johnny B Goode 5:13 [C. Berry]
03. Only You Know And I Know 7:26 [Dave Mason]
04. I Can't Take It 4:09
05. Day After Day 3:22
06. No Matter What 2:52
07. Medley: 6:17 Love Me Do/Lucille/Rip It Up/Long Tall Sally
08. Roll Over Beethoven 3:44
Lineup:
Pete Ham - guitar
Tom Evans - bass guitar
Joey Molland - guitar
Mike Gibbins - drums
If you want chart success, you've got to learn how to suck. So live, Badfinger were rocking. You can't believe this hard rock band were the same that recorded Come And Get It. Here is an uncirculated show from way back in 1972 during their third American tour. If we were not informed this is an audience recording, we might have mistaken this for soundboard. It's that good. The guitars are really loud and the vocals are captured right there in the centre of the sonic image. The bass and drums rumble nicely too. It was important for street cred back then to be able to play electric guitar like Hendrix. Badfinger chose two Dave Mason numbers to show their metal - Feelin' Alright and Only You Know And I Know.
Two hits grace this brief concert, No Matter What from the No Dice album and the then-freshly minted single, Day After Day, from Straight Up. The rock 'n' roll medley showed how little of their own songs could stand up live in a rock concert.
While much has been written about the group's tragedy, two members committed suicide, financial shenanigans and a bad business manager, it should be mentioned that Badfinger's shows were quite lop-sided. Cover songs, an oldies medley and a couple of self-penned hits to carry a show. Their own material was sorely lacking.
Yet there was something about this band that has earned them loyal fans long after the hits had dried up and the Beatles association sundered. Maybe it was the sadness of their song Without You (I can't live/ I can't give anymore). That Pete Ham/Tom Evans omposition is best remembered by either Nilsson's or Mariah Carey's cover. In 1995, ASCAP gave an award to the songwriters of Without You and this time attributed the song not only to Ham and Evans but to Mike Gibbins, Joey Molland and even former manager Bill Collins. How's that for king-sized tragic?

By March 1965, Mike Gibbins had joined as the drummer and the band graduated to backing locally such UK national groups as the Spencer Davis Group, The Who, The Moody Blues and The Yardbirds.

The album was extremely well-received by Rolling Stone and other periodicals upon its release in October 1974. However, internal friction centering on band management, money and group leadership had been growing within Badfinger. Joey Molland's wife, Kathie, had been taking a more assertive role in the band's politics, which did not endear her to the rest of the group, particularly Ham. Just before the band began rehearsals for an October 1974 United Kingdom tour, Ham suddenly quit the band during a management meeting, sta... -

The Panthers' featured lineup contained Pete Ham (lead guitar), Ron Griffiths (bass guitar), Roy Anderson (drums), and David 'Dai' Jenkins (guitar). After a handful of moniker changes, in 1964 they settled on The Iveys, named after a street called Ivey Place in Swansea.
By March 1965, Mike Gibbins had joined as the drummer and the band graduated to backing locally such UK national groups as the Spencer Davis Group, The Who, The Moody Blues and The Yardbirds. By June of 1966, the band had been taken on by a manager named Bill Collins, who was renting a home at 7 Park Avenue, Golders Green, London, where the whole band moved in with another UK act called The Mojos. The group performed briefly as a backing band for David Garrick ("Dear Mrs. Applebee") but continued to perform as themselves across the UK throughout the rest of the decade. In 1967, Jenkins was asked to leave the group due to a lack of seriousness. and he was replaced by a Liverpudlian guitarist Tom Evans of Them Calderstones, the band's first non-Welsh member.
As a well-received stage act on the London circuit, performing a wide range of covers from Motown, blues, soul to Top 40, psychedelic pop, and Beatles, The Iveys consistently garnered interest from record labels. Ray Davies of The Kinks auditioned to produce them by recording three of their songs at a demo studio in London. However, it was not until Mal Evans, the longtime "roadie" for The Beatles and an employee of their Apple Records label, took up their cause that they were finally signed to a label -- Apple -- on 23 July 1968, the first artists signed to the label. Griffiths later said in a Mojo magazine interview: "The ultimate goal was to get a recording contract, but to get one from Apple was really exciting. Yet we were still living at Golders Green, getting £8 a week each."[2] Mal Evans had pushed several demo tapes of the group to each of the individual Beatles and got approval for signing them from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon, who couldn't believe they were recorded on a sound-on-sound 2-track tape recorder. Each of The Iveys was also signed to Apple Corps' Apple Publishing.
The Iveys released their first single worldwide, "Maybe Tomorrow" (a Tom Evans song), in late 1968. It reached the Top Ten in a number of European countries and Japan, but only rated #67 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and failed to chart in the UK. Another Evans composition, "Storm in a Teacup", was included in an Apple EP produced to promote Walls Ice Cream, along with songs by other original Apple artists James Taylor, Mary Hopkin and Jackie Lomax.
Due to the chart success of "Maybe Tomorrow" in Europe and Japan, a follow-up Iveys single was released in July of 1969, "Dear Angie" (a Griffiths song), but only in those markets. The Iveys album, entitled Maybe Tomorrow, was issued only in Italy, Germany and Japan in 1969. Plans to release in the UK and U.S. were halted for reasons never made entirely clear by Apple. The most prominent rumor is that Apple Corps president Allen Klein personally stopped the releases due to his desire to re-organize the label and solidify his control over it.
McCartney gave The Iveys a boost when he offered them the chance to record and release "Come And Get It," a song he had written for the soundtrack of the film The Magic Christian. McCartney went on to produce the song for the band, as well as the group's original compositions of "Carry On Till Tomorrow" (commissioned as the main title theme) and "Rock Of All Ages." These three tracks would appear both in the film and soundtrack album. Ron Griffiths became ill midway during the sessions, and Tom Evans had to play bass on "Rock Of All Ages."

new Pete Ham CD's - http://www.peteham.net
To part 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NZ5Qw2E550&feature;=channel_page Fr/Wiki: Following the American tours, Badfinger recorded Wish You Were Here at the Caribou Ranch recording studio in Colorado and AIR Studios in London. The album was extremely well-received by Rolling Stone and other periodicals upon its release in October 1974.
However, internal friction centering on band management, money and group leadership had been growing within Badfinger. Joey Molland's wife, Kathie, had been taking a more assertive role in the band's politics, which did not endear her to the rest of the group, particularly Ham. Just before the band began rehearsals for an October 1974 United Kingdom tour, Ham suddenly quit the band during a management meeting, stating that he didn't want to belong to a band managed by Kathie Molland. He was replaced by guitarist/keyboardist Bob Jackson. During Ham's three-week hiatus from the group, Polley began shopping Ham as a solo act. However, just before the tour began, Ham rejoined the group after he was pressured by Warner Brothers' position that it would have little to no interest in promoting Badfinger if Ham was gone. Jackson remained as full-time keyboardist, making the band a quintet. After the United Kingdom tour, the friction within the group continued. After some unsuccessful power plays by Molland to keep Ham out of the band, Molland quit of his own accord to pursue a solo career.
Over the previous year, Warner Brothers' publishing arm had become increasingly troubled by a lack of communication from Stan Polley regarding the status of an escrow account of advance funds. Per their contract, Polley was to put in safe-keeping $100,000 in a mutually-accessible account that both Warner Publishing and the group could potentially access. But Polley had not revealed the account's whereabouts to Warners Publishing, and he reportedly ignored warnings about this. Unbeknownst to the band, threats of litigation had been going on behind the scenes.
With Molland gone and an increasingly unstable situation overall, Polley's next ploy was to press the band to go back into Apple Recording Studios to record its third album under the Warner contract, instead of a U.S. support tour. Within two weeks, tracks were cut for an album entitled Head First, and rough mixes were distributed to the musicians and Warner Brothers Records in America. Before the album was formally accepted by Warners Records, Warners Publishing had already filed a lawsuit against Stan Polley and Badfinger on December 10, 1974 in L.A. Superior Court. Polley had hoped submitting the Head First tapes would secure at least one more album advance prior to the litigation, but Warner Brothers refused to accept the tapes and never paid for the sessions. The legal action led to Warners Records stopping the promotion of Wish You Were Here and they stopped distribution of Wish You Were Here worldwide, thus completely halting Badfinger's career.
Badfinger spent the early months of 1975 trying to figure out how to proceed with the unclear legal situation at hand, including the one withdrawn album and the one rejected album. Years earlier, Polley had established Badfinger Enterprises, Inc., which signed the members to various contracts that dictated that receipts of touring, recording, publishing and even songwriter performance royalties would go into holding companies controlled by Polley. This led to a salary arrangement for the group, which various members had at times complained was inadequate compared to their gross earnings. But by April 1975, salaries were no longer arriving and panic set in, especially for Pete Ham, who had recently acquired a house and whose girlfriend was expecting a child that May.
According to their newest member, Bob Jackson, booking agents and prospective managers routinely turned the band away because of their restrictive contracts with Polley and impending legal actions. Ham tried many times to contact Polley by telephone during the early months of 1975, and was never able to reach him.
On 24 April 1975, Ham hanged himself in his garage studio in Surrey. His suicide note, addressed to his girlfriend and her son, seemed to blame Polley for much of his internal despair and he cited his lost ability to cope with his disappointments in life. The note read: "Anne, I love you. Blair, I love you. I will not be allowed to love and trust everybody. This is better. Pete. P.S. Stan Polley is a soulless bastard. I will take him with me." Ham had shown a growing mental illness over the past months as he burned cigarettes out on his hands and arms. Ham's daughter Petera was born a month after his death.

Lyrics below - click here 00:45 to start at song - Pete is interviewed, then a Badfinger classic from Straight Up. Pete Ham wrote this song. It covered many areas of thought for Pete. The chorus dealt with the his turmoil as he contemplated his relationship with his girlfriend of the time, Beverley Ellis. A baby had been lost of a dear friend and having travelled to America he was taken by the unrest and poverty he witnessed. A man who was a deep thinker with great compassion that just flowed out in his music...
Saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye
Said, "Would you go much faster if you thought that you would die?"
He said, "Not me sir, I could not care, in fact, I would not try.
For protest would not take me far.
It's different, me not being a star."
Locked my feelings in a jar until another day
Oh, comfort me, dear brother, won't you tell me what you know?
For somewhere in this painful world is a place where I can go
Oh, long awaiting mother, is it time to make a show?
And take your babies to your breast
No, we never passed the test
All our sins should be confessed before we carry on
CHORUS:
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game
Got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun
Said, "You can see quite clearly, now, the things that we have done.
We burned your sacred willow and our battles we have won.
But did we get so very far?
It's different, me not being a star."
Lock my feelings in a jar until we go away
CHORUS:
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game
CHORUS:
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game

Tom and his new wife, Marianne celebrate with friends and family after getting married on May 18, 1973
What you are, is what I see
What I see, is what I want it to be
When I say, I love you
What I mean, is I really do
I'm not the one who'll give you everything you need
But what I mean is that I'll try
I can't deny that I've been burning inside
For all the things I'll never see
So come on, be yourself, nothing else
Who could ask for any more
And you know, they all love you
What is more, I really do
I'm not the one who'll give you everything you need
But what I mean is that I'll try
I can't deny that I've been burning inside
For all the things I'll never see

I Can't Believe
I can't believe in some of the stories
Some of the stories they say about you
I can't believe in some of the rumours
Quick growing tumours, they're making me blue
Mother confessor leave me alone
Father depressor you're overgrown
You're on your own, what you're saying now
I can't believe in some of the stories
Some of the stories they say about you
I can't believe in some of the rumours
Quick growing tumours, they're making me blue
Mother confessor leave me alone
