BADFINGER: a 70's Power Pop Rock group. A string of hits including Come And Get It, No Matter What, Day After Day, Baby Blue and Without You. But they were more than just these hit songs. The four principle players were each gifted song craftsmen; they produced nine published albums - three that are considered classics. This group also has a tragic side; the suicide of two of its founding members! Stop by and learn why Badƒinger is still influencing music today.

Joey Molland
There are few bands in the annals of rock music as star-crossed in their history as Badƒinger. Pegged as one of the most promising British groups of the late '60s and the one world-class talent ever signed to the Beatles' Apple Records label that remained with the label, Badƒinger enjoyed the kind of success in England and America that most other bands could only envy. Yet a string of memorable hit singles -- Come and Get It, No Matter What, Day After Day, and Baby Blue -- saw almost no reward from that success. Instead, four years of hit singles and international tours precipitated the suicides of its two creative members and legal proceedings that left lawyers as the only ones enriched by the group's work.

MoviesThe Concert for Bangladesh

Badƒinger is well represented in this re-release. Here Comes The Sun with George Harrison and Pete Ham is a highlight for me. Throughout the video, Mike can be seen quite often back in with the singers, next to Ringo on tambourine. Tom Evans, Pete Ham and Joey Molland are sitting/standing off to the right side of the screen and can be seen from time to time.

George Harrison organized this spectacular concert on August 1, 1971 at New York's Madison Square Garden to help and aid the people from Bangladesh with all the money raised destined to that cause. Along with Harrison the concert features Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Leon Rusell, Klaus Voormann, Badƒinger and an Indian music section by Ravi Shankar and a set by the legendary Bob Dylan.

2 DVDs in a digi-pak in a Presentation Box (or Unibox) containing:

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.
