I played the living crap out of it over last summer, filling my ears with endless replays of "Better Days"<br /><br />What I liked about Straight Up, it was more of a balanced album than the rest. In reality, there really isn't a bad record in the Peter Ham era of Badfinger. (Though I don't have the 1974's self titled release, I do have the rest including Wish You Were Here). <br /><br />It just makes wonder of Badfinger would still be around if wasn't for the financial issues along with the deaths of Ham and Tom Evansdrewzepmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553144737305430009noreply@blogger.com
