BADFINGER: STRAIGHT UP (1972), ELECTROLA 1 C 062-93 234, GERMANY, 33 1/3, LP

German edition of the third album by tragic British rock band Badfinger. "Straight Up", which is now regarded as Badfinger's masterpiece, marked a departure from the more rock-oriented sound of their previous releases. Produced by George Harrison and Todd Rundgren, "Straight Up" marks the beginning - and surely one of the high points - of the "power-pop" era in rock music. One critic wrote that it "stands tall against even the Beatles' solo efforts while reaching for [that] band's lofty mid-period gems".

Badfinger are supported by prominent guest musicians here: George Harrison on guitar, Leon Russell on piano and guitar, Klaus Voormann on piano ...

"AllMusic" writes: "... there's absolutely no filler and everybody is in top form... "Baby Blue" is textbook power-pop - irresistibly catchy fuzz riffs and sighing melodies - and with its Harrison-esque slide guitars, "Day After Day" is so gorgeous it practically aches. "Perfection" is an unheralded gem, while "Name of the Game" and "Take It All" are note-perfect pop ballads... This fine songwriting, combined with sharp performances and exquisite studio craft, make "Straight Up" one of the cornerstones of power-pop, a record that proved that it was possible to make classic guitar-pop after its golden era had passed."

Rare original album. The cover has only ring wear, otherwise it is in excellent condition (see pictures) = E
