① is,
"Magic Christian Music, released in 1970, was the first album under the name Badfinger, and it was actually recorded during the Ivies' time, with most of the songs included in the previous album. The recordings from the Ivies' time were also remixed so that they didn't feel out of place with the new songs, giving it a simpler impression than the previous album, and making it easier to understand the quality of the songs. -Omitted-"
② is,
"The direction of the band was becoming clear with the previous album, but No Dice, released in the same year, was a masterpiece that showed their true abilities, following the official joining of Joey Molland and the huge success of the previously released single "Stormy Love". Pete Ham emerged as a songwriter, and with Joey's joining the band, the sound became more solid, and it can be said that this is a must-listen album that records the moment when they transformed from a pop band to a rock band. 』
③
『After a one-year interval, their next album, Straight Up (1972), which included the clean hit "Day After Day," is a masterpiece comparable to the previous one. Pete's songs are deeper, but Joey's personality has a big influence on the album. There was a commotion when producer George Harrison was replaced by Todd Rundgren, but the fact that it had almost no effect on the quality of the work is a sign of their confidence and ability. It is also nice that most of the tracks from the album that was abandoned between this one and the previous one are added.』
From the liner notes of Isao Inubuse in the May 2005 issue of Record Collectors
After this, Badfinger released their fourth album, ASS, and left Apple, but these three albums, which they left close to the Beatles, play melancholy melodies and the sounds of the era. Alan Clarke, vocalist of The Hollies, who was active at the same time, covered "BABY BLUE" in his solo album. It was a pretty good song, and Alan must have respected Badfinger. Also, "ROCK'N ROLL DOOL", which Hamao wrote for Karasuma Setsuko in 1981, was probably inspired by "Arashi no Koi = No Matter What".
