BADFINGER
TOM EVANS,MIKE GIBBINS, RON GRIFFITHS, PETE HAM
There are few bands in the annals of rock music as star-crossed in their history as Badfinger.
Pegged as one of the most promising British groups of the late '60s and the one world-class talent
ever signed to the Beatles' Apple Records label that remained with the label,
Badfinger enjoyed the kind of success in England and America that most other bands could only envy.
Yet a string of memorable hit singles -- "Come and Get It," "No Matter What,"
"Day After Day," and "Baby Blue" -- saw almost no reward from that success

On Back Sleeve:
"Badfinger" are four - Tom playing bass and Joey playing guitar, both from Liverpool,
Pete on lead guitar with Mike on drums both of them born in Swansea, South Wales.
"Badfinger" are very close to each other, living together, their life is playing together.
On this album featuring the three numbers they recorded for "The Magic Christian" film soundtrack,
they offer you themselves and their music, so listen as I have done,
enjoy it - and feel close to "Badfinger". Mal.

...Since their breakthrough hit "Come and Get It" was written by Paul McCartney, Badfinger was dogged
by comparisons to the Beatles but they were hardly copyists. Elements of the Hollies, the Kinks,
and very mild psychedelia are discernable throughout Magic Christian Music,
all part of the band's search for their own voice. Magic Christian Music, with its appealing melodies,
lite psychedelic flourishes and, yes, Beatlesque harmonies, it's an enjoyable artifact of its time...(AllMusic)
