Studio Quality 9.5 – This 2CD set compiles some of the best uncirculating or hard to find Badfinger demos and studio outtakes.
Many other worthy tracks were excluded since they already appear in excellent quality on other collections.
(ie. Apple Demos 1970-1972 and Complete Ass). Highlights include a ‘new’ version of Coppertoone Blues, the speed corrected demo of Without You (I Can’t Live),
the first appearence on CD of an alternate ‘piano version’ of Do You Mind and the rough mixes of several tracks from their classic Apple-era.
In addition the original mix of the 1974 ‘Head First’ album taken from cassette
obtained directly from Mike Gibbins in the late 90’s. These 1974 mixes are different from the 2000 Snapper CD mixes and are a major upgrade from other circulating copies.
