Re-recordings of Badfinger classics, October 6, 2002
This review is from: Badfinger (Audio CD)
I can't fault Joey Molland for doing this. Despite Badfinger's troubled history and the bad blood between Molland and Mike Gibbins, he's continuing to spread the word about his former band in performances and recordings. That doesn't mean you should buy this CD. These are re-recordings of classic Badfinger tracks. When Joey Molland had originally done these many of these tracks weren't available in any format after Apple Records folded amid multiple lawsuits. Even if you're a fan of Molland's solo work (and his latest album is very good indeed), this is less than essential. Since Straight Up, No Dice, Magic Christian and The Very Best of Badfinger are all available on CD, this is hardly the place to start collecting or listening to Badfinger. There are a number of important Badfinger recordings that have yet to see the light of day (Sing for the Song) and many that have gone out of print ... . If you're a fan write Capitol, Apple and Emi letting them know that you'd like to see these recordings available. What's needed is a comphrensive boxed set. Perhaps a company like NotLame Records could put together something since Capitol/Apple/Emi don't seem so inclinded.

This is NOT Badfinger!, February 8, 2004
This review is from: Badfinger (Audio CD)
This is certainly not Badfinger. Joey Molland gives versions of the hits and a few of his own Badfinger songs. None of these versions come anywhere near the originals in quality. It's really hard to say much positive about these recordings. Buy the original albums instead!!

Joey Molland's Badfinger release, not the original, February 18, 2012
This review is from: Badfinger (Audio CD)
This is another packaging release of the same Cd that must have 5-6 different covers by now. This is not the original band of Badfinger, it is Joey Molland who back in 1994 went to Nashville & re-recorded all of these songs. He sang on all of them, which as you know he did not do on the original Badfinger songs. He is not the singer Tom & Pete were by anymeans. It doesn't list any session players at all. I dont know if the drums are real or not. But alot of folks dont like this release as it is misleading by using the name Badfinger. It is not an expensive Cd, & I've always liked it. The songs are all good that were played, spanning alot of there career. At least on this release the only photo on the cover is of Joey.
