*****
NOTE: this lp is already on the tracker in a fine post by Apesrfools (my favorite poster on any given day, btw; you should DEFINITELY check out his ups, you WON'T be disappointed, especially if you're a Beatles/Apple Records fan like me.
Anyway, it appears Apes' post is NOT sourced from the Japanese pressing that I have in my collection. Just to be sure, I pm'd Apes and was kindly given the 'ok' re posting this differently-sourced version of this album.
Oh yes, just to be clear this is from my silver CD, and NOT ripped from vinyl. That has been a source of confusion earlier, it's the fault of my interchangeable terminology between vinyl & CD.
This looks to be the only Badfinger lp that wouldn't violate the "no duplicates" policy, so I'll move on and see if there's any other Apple lp's to post which haven't been already. Anyone got the John Tavener Apple reissues btw? hint, hint...
As always, no artwork due to no working scanner, and take heed of the playing order above; TLH seems to place tracks in alphabetical order no matter what, so see above if you want to have the tracks in their correct running order on the album.
Please enjoy and share losslessly :)
