Having not lived in the '60s and '70s when these recordings were first made, this collection is outstanding for me, as it not only combines albums from two different record labels onto one CD, but it also features every song I know by Badfinger.
I saw Joey Molland at Hippiefest in 2007, and his 15-minute set featured four songs: "Baby Blue," "Come and Get It," "Day After Day" and "No Matter What." I know a little about Badfinger, but not so much as what songs come off of what albums, or what songs could've/should've been put on this disc but weren't.
What I can say is, I love a lot of the songs on this CD. In addition to those previously mentioned, I also really enjoyed the Iveys song "Maybe Tomorrow," and the sweet ballad, "Without You." I am not a diehard Badfinger listener. I just like to hear a few of their songs once in a while. So this album suits my needs quite well.

I have slogged thru all the available domestic and import Badfinger discs, including all the Japan mini-sleeves. Without a doubt, the remastered audio on this disc is superior to anything else out there.
It sure would be great if whoever remastered this collection would go back and do the rest of the catalog.
As evident by the other reviews, there are a lot of fabulous tracks that didn't make this compilation. However, the great audio makes this CD certainly worth the purchase.

The biggest advantage of this single disc set is that it brings together the Apple & Warner Bros. recordings together. Like most groups that have been contracted to more than one label in their career, the fan wasn't able to get a best of or greatest hits collection that covered their entire career. It would always be split down the lines of the songs that were recorded for whichever label. In recent years, though, many labels have come together with their competitors to give the fan comprehensive collections that include songs from more than one label. Such is the case here. I would very much like to commend the recording industry for coming together in this manner, I feel, at the very least, that this cooperation had the fan in mind.
I was never a big fan of Badfinger, never owned anything that was issued in their name. Oh, I knew who they were, their early period has some monster hits. Of course, being a big Beatle fan, I knew this group was closely associated to them. It was, in fact, Paul McCartney who suggested that they change their name to Badfinger, it was McCartney who wrote & produced their first major hit "Come and Get It". Badfinger was also signed to the Apple label which was the Beatles own. Even George Harrison served as a producer for them. I remember when they first hit it big, it was discussed how similar Joey Molland & McCartney looked & the slight similarity that Pete Ham & John Lennon shared. In one way it's sad that Badfinger ...

Great but gloomy thinking about how the leader, Hamm, hanged himself and then one of the other members did the same. Joey is the only one that is doing well today. Had this group not had such a horrid manager that would not buy them equipment or repairs nor give them money to live on, they would probably still be around.

Timeless music...there are just no other words. Badfinger is one of the most under-appreciated bands. You know many of their songs, you just don't realize it's them.
