Maybe TomorrowThe Iveys' legendary lone album released only in Germany, Italy and Japan. Featuring their #67 hit, "Maybe Tomorrow" and the psychedelic killer "I've Been Waiting". The album easily sells for $400 today.
Magic Christian MusicThree songs from Peter Sellers' film, "The Magic Christian", "Maybe Tomorrow" and unreleased (in the US) songs from the Iveys' album. "Carry on till Tomorrow" is a haunting ballad. Last album with Ron Griffith's.
No DiceA Classic! This album boasts "No Matter What" and "Without You". Pete Ham belts out "I Can't Take It" and sympathizes with a friend in "Midnight Caller". Joey Molland joins the band and offers "Better Days".
Straight UpGeorge Harrison and Todd Rundgren produced. Pete Ham offers the soulful "Take it All". Joey's stinging guitar licks animate "Suitcase".Before it was issued on CD, "Straight Up" sold for over $100.
AssApple delayed this album for a year which hurt its sales, but its a strong album dominated by Joey Molland. Pete Ham contributed the stunning "Timeless" which is reminiscent of the Iveys' early psychedelic numbers.
For Love or MoneyWarner brothers issued this at the same time as "Ass", so Badfinger was competing with themselves. Pete's "Lonely You" is simply lovely, while Joey's "Give It Up" is as loud and raw as "Helter Skelter".
Wish You Were HereOne of Badfinger's best. Weeks after it was released, the band's manager removed funds an escrow account; Warner Brothers retaliated by yanking the album from stores. Pete Ham took his life soon after.
AirwavesIt was exciting to hear this in 1979, after years without anything new. Tom rocks out on "Look Out California", and Joey is optimistic with "Love is Gonna Come at Last. The songs are upbeat and harmonic.
Say No MoreJoey's influence gives their final album a harder edge throughout. Tom's "Rock 'n' Roll Contract" is a venomous slap at their former manager.
