Tea for two 2022. 1. 5. 18:50

Magic Christian Music, 1970

1. Come And Get It 2:21
2. Crimson Ship 3:42
3. Dear Angie 2:39
4. Fisherman 2:24
5. Midnight Sun 2:46
6. Beautiful And Blue 2:40
7. Rock Of All Ages 3:16
8. Carry On Till Tomorrow 4:47
9. I'm In Love 2:26
10. Walk In The Rain 3:27
11. Angelique 2:28
12. Knocking Down Our Home 3:40
13. Give It A Try 2:31
14. Maybe Tomorrow 2:51

 

보컬, 기타, 키보드 등을 맡았던 재주많은 Pete Ham 의 밴드 Badfinger. Carry On Till Tomorrow 의 기타소리가 참 좋았는데, 아깝다.


No Dice, 1970

1. I Can't Take It 2:54
2. I Don't Mind 3:13
3. Love Me Do 2:57
4. Midnight Caller 2:48
5. No Matter What 2:59
6. Without You 4:42
7. Blodwyn 3:24
8. Better Days 3:59
9. It Had To Be 2:57
10. Watford John 3:21
11. Believe Me 2:58
12. We're For The Dark 3:51

 

No Matter What이 아주 심플하게 좋고, Blodwyn의 기타소리가 아주 좋게 들린다.


Straight Up, 1971

1. Take It All
2. Baby Blue
3. Money
4. Flying
5. I'd Die, Babe
6. Name Of The Game
7. Suitcase
8. Sweet Tuesday Morning
9. Day After Day
10. Sometimes
11. Perfection
12. It's Over

 

비틀즈 닮았다는 평가가 많은데, 실제로 그런 분위기가 느껴진다. 비틀즈가 키우고 있던 밴드라서 아무래도 그랬을 것이다. 확 끌리는 곡은 없지만, 좋은 곡들이 많다.


Ass, 1973

1. Apple Of My Eye
2. Get Away
3. Icicles
4. The Winner
5. Blind Owl
6. Constitution
7. When I Say
8. Cowboy
9. I Can Love You
10. Timeless

 

사이키델릭한 분위기의 Constitution, 예전에 많이 들어서 익숙해 있던 Timeless 등이 좋은 곡이긴 하지만, 지금까지의 앨범들보다는 조금 덜한 앨범이다.


Badfinger, 1974

1. I Miss You 2:35
2. Shine On 2:52
3. Love Is Easy 3:08
4. Song For A Lost Friend 2:52
5. Why Don't We Talk 3:45
6. Island 3:40
7. Matted Spam 3:09
8. Where Do We Go From Here? 3:24
9. My Heart Goes Out 2:16
10. Lonely You 3:47
11. Give It Up 4:34
12. Andy Norris 2:59

 

As Badfinger were completing work on their last album for Apple Records, Ass, the band's manager, Stan Polley, signed them to a three-year, six-album deal with Warner Bros. Records. As a result, shortly after the band and producer Chris Thomas completed recording of Ass, they found themselves back in the studio making a new album for Warner.

 

구슬픈 기타소리가 좋은 Lonely You, 제임스 갱의 Alexis 의 후반부 연주를 떠올리게 하는 Give It Up 등이 괜찮지만, 계약에 쫓겨 발매한 것이라 그런지 함량이 부족하다. 


Wish You Were Here, 1974

1. Just A Chance 2:56
2. Your So Fine 3:02
3. Got To Get Out Of Here 3:02
4. Know One Knows 3:13
5. Dennis 5:17
7. In The Meantime / Some Other Time 6:44
8. Love Time 3:31
9. King Of The Load (T) 3:31
10. Meanwhile Back At The Ranch / Should I Smoke 5:17

 

앙징맞은 기타간주가 있는 Your So Fine, 그리고 앨범 후반부에 있는 곡들은 대체로 좋은데, 잘 알려져 있지 않은 듯 하다. 대형 히트곡은 없지만 밴드의 제일 좋은 앨범이다.


Airwaves, 1979

1. Airwaves 0:30
2. Look Out California 3:27
3. Lost Inside Your Love 2:41
4. Love Is Gonna Come At Last 3:37
5. Sympathy 4:26
6. The Winner 3:25
7. The Dreamer 5:18
8. Come Down Hard 3:46
9. Sail Away 3:30

 

At the behest of Chicago musicians Joe Tansin (guitar/vocals) and Kenny Harck (drums), the then-unemployed Joey Molland formed a new group with the duo in Los Angeles. Molland later enticed his fellow former Badfinger member Tom Evans to also join the unnamed band.

 

After the band shopped demonstration records around the L.A. area, they discovered they would have more marketing power if they revived the Badfinger moniker. Although the name helped the group open doors to potential record labels, it also caused an inequality and friction between old and new Badfinger members within the band.

 

Badfinger 의 두 멤버가 있긴 했지만, Pete Ham 이 없으니 그 음악이 연속성이 있을리 없었다. Lost Inside Your Love 정도는 예전 Badfinger 음악분위기가 나긴 했지만, 다른 곡들은 그냥 평범한 팝송같다.

1. I Got You 3:49
2. Come On 3:26
3. Hold On 3:30
4. Because I Love You 2:58
5. Rock N' Roll Contract 5:45
6. Passin' Time 3:33
7. Three Time Loser 3:31
8. Too Hung Up On You 3:24
9. Crocadillo 3:20
10. No More 4:42
