One of my favorite bands. So talented. They should have stsyef with Apple Records. Such a tragic history.

The Iveys e Badfinger são duas bandas, assim como seus músicos, que guardo no meu coração ❤️ tanto pela qualidade das canções e dos músicos, quanto pelas pessoas maravilhosas que são e eram e o trágico fim de dois deles, que não mereciam, assim como Badfinger acabar desse jeito tão cruel! Talentosos e jovens ingênuos em questões contratuais, e não tiveram ajuda de ninguém da classe artística, sempre tão alienada politicamente quanto egocêntricas por força do sucesso e da armadilha do glamour e do estrelado que o capitalismo estimula e amaldiçoa!

Anything from Badfinger I’m definitely going to give it a listen to.😊

Does anyone know from what time period this group is from? Judging from the hairstyles probably late 60’s to mid 70’s. I’m from that time period and even though I never heard of these guys, but I know what the music 🎼 sounds like from that era. This particular group has my approval and that’s why I thank Y-Tube for sharing these rare gems 💎 with us. Thanks for sharing this song 🎶 with us and…Keep Rocking!!!😊

All my repect and love for all of you. Badfinger is my template for music. Makes me happy! What a band! ✌

I am laughing because this is soooo good. Their incredible groove is like osmosis to my brain & body. I hope whoever is releasing this wonderful material will know how much we appreciate you! Can you believe it...BAD FINGER still freaks me out how great they were and still are to this day! Shooting stars in an understatement! How we miss them but yet...they are so alive! No worries. 😊

What a treasure to hear, thanks so much.

Wow! Hearing these beautiful demos it hit me hard... To me, the magic combo was Ham and Evans. Then later you throw in Joey Molland and boom! I completely get the genius of Badfinger now. The real CD's (and a pair of headphones) of all things Badfinger and beyond. Plus a real stereo is even better! :)

Just beautiful! ❤Tommy! ❤

Beautiful, it should be on another Tom CD. he had an amazing voice..

True talent even in the raw stages still FREAKS ME OUT! What breath of fresh air after all these years. Thankyou Bad Finger Boogie Boys! Top shelf musicians and songwriters to this day. My hats off to you forever. 😊

Rough mix?! Could have fooled me lol!! AMAZING🥰

와우~좋은 자료 감사합니다~구독 꾸욱!~

This is beautiful!

Very interesting. I'm loving all of these Tommy tracks coming along. I'm intrigued ad to who's putting them out. Got to be something to do with Marianna I would think. Wouldn't it be great if all we old Badfinger heads could convene somewhere for a weekend bash!

AMAZING!!! Tom was ahead of his time in composing certain demos.

Thanks for this. It's brilliant having all of these previously unheard Tommy/Badfinger tracks popping up.

What a beautiful early recording!

Wonderful to see the progression from this demo to the finished version. What talented writers Pete & Tom were. Such a loss💔💔

Whoa!! a different vibe from Tom!! Love the pic of Tom & Marianne at the end❤❤

One of the most breathtakingly beautiful songs ever put to record. Thank you for sharing.

Great vocal performance! Tom had the versatility to sing so many styles

Great version of this wonderful song!!!

Jeez these guys were good!

Sounds like he's tuned to A=450. Was this recorded at a time before he hit puberty? 🤣🤣🤣

Wow, what an excellent alternate version. It feels like hearing another brand new Straight Up song for the very first time! Makes me even greedier of wanting to hear any other Straight Up outtakes or alternates - I really hope they are out there somewhere...

Although it’s a rough, bordering on unpleasant recording, I loved hearing it. Pete and Tom could have made it a potential hit.

That was as heavy as it got back then. Cool picture-I’m relatively sure that’s the Cavern Club. 2 SGs, two Marshall Stacks and a Fender P? Glorious!

That is a catchy song.

I didn’t know they carried on after Pete’s suicide. That sounded great and I agree with @iconoclassicrecords

Nice to hear this. I think the Airways version of this is the best post Pete Ham so-called Badfinger track. Pete would have loved this one from Tommy and it's such a shame that they never got to record it together. How this wasn't a hit I'll never know.

It’s good to hear his voice. I’ve been listening to a ton of Badfinger lately, which is a statement about Tom’s talent in and of itself.

Simple, heartfelt beauty. An artist at work.

Badfinger had that impossible to define element all bands are searching for-99.99% fruitlessly. Tom was a huge part of their “magic.”

Even as a Demo this recording shows the Top talent these guys had!! Cruelly abused by the music industry??😡❤

And, such a talented writer.

What a voice Tommy had!!😘😘😘

Bless Tommy😘

Smokin'! They were on fire

❤ Tommy!!! ❤

Love that until now unheard intro, thx!

Such a thrill to hear these! Please keep 'em coming!!!

I really love this version. It makes me so happy. Thank you for sharing.

ok

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great recording!! Just shows you that Tom & the guys could sing & play better than a lot of bands today, who mime!!

Thank god. Steel Drum? WTF.

I love this song! ❤Tommy's voice was always fantastic, I'd listen to him sing the phone book!

If only we could turn back time.

Love it !!!!
