Badfinger Remembers Working With George Harrison

12/01/2001 7:00 AM, LAUNCH
Kastle

(12/1/01, 7 a.m. ET) -- As the news of George Harrison's death on Thursday (November 29) traveled through the music world, friends and fellow musicians of the former Beatle continued to express their loss. The group Badfinger, which owed some of its success to Harrison and the rest of the Beatles, posted a heartfelt message on its website, writing simply: "Words cannot express our feelings...We will never forget you or the impact you made on our lives."


After signing to the Beatles' Apple Records label in 1968, Badfinger came to be friends with all of the members of the Beatles. In 1970, Harrison asked if they would play on his All Things Must Passalbum. Badfinger's Joey Molland told LAUNCH how they came to be a part of the classic album. "We started going to Apple quite a lot, and then we met George and then George wanted us to play on the All Things Must Pass album for him. He needed some guitar players so he asked us. We started to just do a lot of sessions for him."

The following year, Harrison returned the favor and produced several tracks on Badfinger's Straight Up album. Harrison played guitar on the "Day After Day" track, which went on to become one of the group's biggest hits. "After we'd done his stuff, he decided to try his hand at producing the band, he produced the Straight Up album, or like five or six tracks off it, actually. And he did the 'Day After Day' song, that's right--that was one of the ones he did," he said.


Molland told LAUNCH what it was like taking direction from Harrison. "It was easy, very easy," he said. "George was just such a nice guy, a regular kind of person, really. He doesn't come off, like, 'I'm a Beatle.'"

Joey Molland looks a bit like Paul McCartney.

Peter Ham was such a talent!  His was and is still such a sad tale.  He was one of those talents that you always wonder what would have been had he not died.  Their live sound was not as Beatlesque as their studio work.   "We're For the Dark," is on "NO DICE."

BadFinger isn't too bad. I bought one of their albums called The Very Best of BadFinger because that was the only one I could find of that group. But I do like them.  :)

They were a great band. I always thought they should have been allowed one of their songs at 'Bangladesh' instead of being relegated to just playing acoustic guitars that one reviewer said 'were felt, but not heard'. "Day After Day" is probably my favorite song by them.

"Below are two rare Badfinger songs. "Drive My Car" performed by the Iveys live for the BBC. The alternate version of "Come And Get It" was performed by Badfinger in December 1969. These very rare songs are available in Real Audio format.

Iveys - Drive My Car (Live)

Badfinger - Come And Get It (Alternate Version)


Below are rare and unreleased Badfinger songs, available in MP3 format.


Badfinger - Come And Get It (With Strings)

Badfinger - Rock Of All Ages (Live)

Badfinger - My Dark Hour (Live)

Badfinger - Rock N' Roll (Unreleased)

Badfinger - Oh Wow (Unreleased) "

from here: http://badfinger_1968_1975.tripod.com/Badfinger/id1.html


Take a listen to Badfinger - Come And Get It (With Strings) ... it sounds as an Abbey Road LP track with that (awful in this case  :-/) orchestral arrangement ... very George Martin, by the way! (Paul produced it  ::) )

P.S. I've always seen Come And Get It as an Abbey Road album ...
