Magic moments on debut from Badfinger
Featuring tracks from their first album(MAYBE TOMORROW recorded as the Iveys) and new tracks recorded for film MAGIC CHRISTIAN, this album is a hodge podge of Mersey beat styled pop("Maybe tomorrow", "Dear Angie") Beatles derived pop(McCartney's "Come and get it" written for the band and produced by Macca himself) and the band's own emerging power pop style. This isn't Badfinger's best album, but a fine introduction to the band.

The sound is very good--Ron Furmanek and the late Mike Jarrat did a terrific job of transferrng this album to cd. Two bonus tracks are included "Storm in a teacup" and the previously unreleased "Arthur". If you're a new fan of the band, or haven't picked this up yet, I'd recommend doing so as Apple/Capitol has been systematically deleting the band's albums("No Dice" and "Straight up" are now only available as DCC gold master discs. While the band's last Apple album "Ass" was never issued in the U. S. It has since been deleted throughout the world).

The deletion of their catalog is another sad example of the poor way the band was treated throughout their brief, but outstanding career.
