5.0 out of 5 stars Badfinger Comes To Life, May 31, 2002

Like many, prior to hearing this album I associated Badfinger with "Come and Get It" and in some kind of hazy connection, the Beatles. Well, guess what! Badfinger is much more than a one hit wonder. They were a talented group of musicians who were chewed up by the business machine. There was a good reason why the Beatles brought Badfinger to Apple Records. From the brilliant faithfulness of Rain's "Baby Blue" to the awe inspiring beauty of Bill Scherer's "Without You," it's one of those discs that you'll find yourself blasting again and again as you cruise down the highway. And to think, "Come and Get It" isn't even on it! You can't go wrong with this international labor of love--this tribute will cause you to utter that time-honored line, "I didn't know they did that!" And you'll smile.

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthy tribute for a worthy band, May 29, 2002

Having listened several times to this compilation album, I have to say that if you liked Badfinger at all, this is a great trip to take. Bill Scherer's version of Without You is stunning--and I use that word intentionally. How much talent is one guy supposed to have, anyway? And it isn't the only high point. Does every song work as well as the others? Not really, but every song is still a successful and creative re-imagining of the original tracks, not an easy feat. Thumbs up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Badfinger Good, May 31, 2002

I've been jamming on this CD in my truck every day this week. This is a great and fun record. Some incredible singing and playing here, folks.

Every Badfinger enthusiast should really own this disc. Some of the music here is benchmark quality. Cough up the dough...

I had always sort of written off Badfinger as opportunistic Beatle clones/worshippers. I was only familiar with the hits. This record really shows the depth and quality of this band's legacy. This is quite a tribute to the style and substance of the band. GREAT JOB!
