- Day After Day (1971) With its unassailable melody, plaintive vocals and lovestruck sentiment, this is Pete Ham at his aching best. Producer George Harrison elevates things further with a wonderful slide solo, while the mighty Leon Russell adds piano.
- Baby Blue (1971) Initially the second single lifted from the Todd Rundgren-produced Straight Up, Baby Blue is Pete Ham’s passionate ode to Dixie Armstrong, whom he became involved with during Badfinger’s final tour of the US.
- Come And Get It (1970) Paul McCartney demo’d this infectious nugget during the sessions for Abbey Road in July 1969. When it came to supplying songs for the soundtrack of The Magic Christian (starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr), the Beatle took the producer’s chair and donated it to Badfinger, who added lustrous three-part harmonies.
- No Matter What (1970) A chunky guitar motif and rich melody form the backbone of one of Badfinger’s most anthemic tunes, a declaration of loyalty and affection with a Beatlesy middle eight and the kind of hook that became synonymous with the soulful power pop of Big Star and The Raspberries.
