Remembering Badfinger Great band tragic rock history.

I was driving home from work the other evening and stopped at a convenience store to grab a pack of smokes and something to drink I had a moment before I took off again, I wanted to listen to something I haven’t heard in a long time so I dug out my CD case out of my rear junk storage of my Ford Ranger, (extended cab).
Thumbing through about a hundred or more CD’s I came across my Badfinger collection page, I was and still am a big fan of Badfinger since I was 13, so I pulled there third album out (Straight Up) and popped it in my deck.



I forgot how well produced this album was and how many tasty hooks every song seems to have took me back a bit and remember buying these LP albums in the cut out section at Peaches records in Florida and my buddies and we would think, Wow what a great deal we just got for $1.99!
I still have them in a box someplace after thirty something or more years!
Good stuff to sing to and play along with for cover 70's stuff.
