The Very Best Of Badfinger gathers the power-pop band that Apple Records pinned its hopes on, presented here as a single CD edition spanning their run from the late 1960s into the mid-1970s.

Signed to The Beatles' own label, Badfinger arrived with a gift most new bands would envy: Come and Get It, a Paul McCartney song he handed to them and which became their breakthrough. What followed proved they did not need borrowed material. Pete Ham, Tom Evans, Joey Molland and Mike Gibbins wrote melodies that sat comfortably beside their mentors while carrying a bruised, earnest quality all their own.

The hits still sound immaculate. No Matter What opens with one of the great crunchy guitar riffs of its era, then softens into close harmonies. Day After Day, produced by George Harrison, floats on sliding guitar and piano with a melancholy that never tips into self-pity. Baby Blue, shaped by Todd Rundgren, turns heartbreak into a chorus that refuses to leave your head.

Their story later turned darker through business troubles and tragedy, which makes the brightness of these songs land harder. This compilation keeps the focus where it belongs, on four musicians who could write a perfect three-minute single.

For anyone who loves the bridge between British Invasion melody and seventies rock, this is where to start.
