    Such a Fantastic album. So underrated or under talked about. Track 2 Baby Blue was used for the Final scene in Breaking Bad. I thought that would bring it back into the spotlight for the younger generation but I guess not. I can tell you this!! Every time I put this record on with friends over, they’re All asking me “Holy crap what is this?!” Compliments every time. Fantastic pressing too! Full dynamics, wide soundstage, perfect lows, mids and highs. I feel lucky I have a mint condition original! The cover is worn, but the vinyl is perfect. I love this record

      Found my copy at a record convention and was my favorite purchase
      This record is nice and loud and well mixed. It really is able to shine after all these years.
      If you can find a copy with a clean record pick it up ASAP!

        This pressing seems pretty good, its hard to tell as my copy has a decent amount of scratches, it still sounds very good and the actual music is amazing.

          What an incredible album! What a tragic story Badfinger really is.
          Guitarist Joey Molland said the band name came from John Lennon's poor piano playing on "A Little Help From My Friends." Before the Beatles had a working title, they just called it "Badfinger Boogie" because of Lennon's piano work.
