About the Artist
This tribute album incorporates artists from many parts of the world. The artists are listed below in the Band members box. All artists are from the USA except where noted.

Product Description
Three Decades have passed since the band Badfinger signed with Apple Records and scored a number of chart hits that included "Come and Get It," "No Matter What," and "Baby Blue." During the early 70s, they also wrote the timeless mega-hit "Without You," first made famous by Harry Nilsson.

However, for Badfinger, fame and fortune did not last long. In fact, fortune did not come at all. While at the pinnacle of their careers, unscrupulous management sold the band down the river, and in doing so, this economic disaster directly and indirectly contributed to the suiciedal deaths of two band members. The untimely deaths of Pete Ham and Tom Evans - two very talented and prolific song writers - resulted in a great loss to the music world. It is the spirit of this tribute album to capture the essence of the Badfinger genius. We, the artists and supporting cast, dedicate this body of work to this band's gripping saga and to surviving members Mike Gibbins and Joey Molland.

Everyone involved with this tribute has contributed their time and talent without want of compensation in the hope that the Badfinger story will never be forgotten. Any economic gains from the sale of this work will be distributed to musical causes and organizations whose missions are to promote and celebrate music as a work of art and not as a means to profit. To this end, we are inspired to bring you, the listener, the music of Badfinger.

Badfinger Comes To Life.......2002-06-01

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.

Badfinger Good.......2002-05-31

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!

A worthy tribute for a worthy band.......2002-05-29

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.
