Nice! Magic Christian Music was their first album and had some cool stuff on it--definitely a decent debut for them. A lot of people don't know that it was actually the soundtrack album for a film called Magic Christian Music (very offbeat movie starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr). One thing I really like about Badfinger is how they developed as artists. By the time of their second and especially third album ("Straight Up" produced by George Harrison and Todd Rundgren) they were unbelievably good. Their last album with the original line-up "Wish You Were Here" (released 6 months prior to the Pink Floyd album of the same name, coincidentally) is a masterpiece IMHO. Wish I could find some good videos from that album. Here's the original version of "No Matter What" from their second l.p. "No Dice"..... (but no Altecs or glamorous dancers in this video)
