Badfinger (album)
Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAD : Badfinger (album)
Badfinger is an album by rock band, Badfinger. The album was recorded in the autumn of 1973 and released in 1974 on Warner Brothers Records. It was the first of two albums released by the band on the Warner label.
Although the album is technically untitled, it is referred to as Badfinger as this is its only identification outside its matrix number. The intended title, For Love Or Money, was misplaced at the time of production and not used. The intended title referred to Badfinger's label change from Apple Records to Warner Brothers.
Badfinger was received with weak reviews in music magazine Rolling Stone upon its release. A U.K. single released prior to the album, "Love Is Easy," failed to chart. A subsequent single released in the U.S., "I Miss You," also failed. The album was re-released on CD format in the 1990s in Japan and Germany only. However, many tracks from this album have subsequently been released on various Badfinger compilation records and CDs.
