My comments:

This new Badfinger compilation contains both Apple and Warner tracks. Undoubtedly this album will be a good appetizer and a good place for "newcomers" to start, All the hits are represented and most of the immediately catchy songs are here. Good to see Pete so well-represented and also great that "I'll Be The One" , the great lost single, is included. Obviously there will always be great songs that have been left out. Personally I would like to have seen "Blind Owl", "Shine On", "Know One Knows" and some of the great "Head First"-tracks included ( "Keep Believing", "Lay Me Down", Mr Manager", "Moonshine" etc, ) . Also a bit disappointing that that none of the great still unreleased Apple tracks have not been included as bonus-tracks. ( e.g. "Sing For The Song" and "Baby Please")

My favourites:

Come And Get It, No Matter What, Midnight Caller, Without You, The Name of The Game, Day After Day, Baby Blue, When I Say, Midnight Caller, We're For The Dark, I'll Be The One, Lonely You, Dennis and Meanwhile Back at The Ranch

Other very good songs: I'd Die Babe and Love Time

Of 10 possible stars I would give this album: 9
