Great news for fans, legendary British band Badfinger is proud to announce the upcoming release of their long-lost album, Head First, due out in 2024 — exactly 50 years after its initial recording. This historic release contains the final studio recordings of Peter Ham and marks a significant milestone in the band's legacy, offering audiences an album shrouded in mystery for decades. With hits like "Come and Get It," "No Matter What," "Day After Day," and "Baby Blue," Badfinger has long been considered a staple in the power pop and classic rock genres of the 1970s. Initially recorded in 1974 at The Beatles' famous Apple Recording Studio on Savile Row in London, "Head First" encapsulates a transformative era in Badfinger's rich career. The "Head First" sessions took place during a tumultuous period for the band, marked by personal struggles and external challenges that ultimately led to the album's shelving. For years, only a rough mix remained, and the master tapes were believed to be lost. However, the recent rediscovery of the original multitracks has allowed for a meticulous mixing and mastering process, breathing new life into this long-hidden masterpiece. The release promises an authentic glimpse into Badfinger's creative spirit during one of their most artistically fertile periods.
