Badfinger-Straight Up

Straight Up

Poor bastards. Ham and Evans already have a deer-in-the-headlights look about them on the cover, don’t they?

Played this thing to death on 8-track, then bought the lp, then bought the CD with extra tracks, now feel guilty for having not paid for the mp3s. Something’s screwed up somewhere, and three of these guys aren’t with us to not get the money they wouldn’t have gotten from the 4th format of this album that I have or have not owned for 38 years.

Keepers:

Baby Blue
I’d Die Babe
Name Of The Game
Sweet Tuesday Morning
Day After Day

    In a business filled with sad, sad stories, Badfinger’s may be one of the saddest.

    I spent years hunting for this in used-record stores when it was out of print and then bought it (and all the Badfinger albums) again when it finally came out on CD. Sad, beautiful, amazing music.
