| | | | Badfinger - Discography: Encyclopedia II - Badfinger - Warner Brothers Merely six weeks after the Ass sessions were completed, Badfinger entered the studio to begin recording the material for their first Warner Brothers release, Badfinger. Neither Ass nor Badfinger were well-received by music critics, but owing to Badfinger's overwork, their lackluster quality can perhaps be understood in context. Badfinger and its two accompanying singles, "Love Is Easy" and "I Miss You," also did not reach chart positions. Badfinger did manage to consolidate some U.S. fan support in 1 ...

| | | | Badfinger - Discography: Encyclopedia II - Badfinger - The Panthers & The Iveys The band originated with guitarist/keyboardist Pete Ham and a group called The Panthers. Members changed to resemble the first band line-up, with Ron Griffiths on bass guitar and David "Dai" Jenkins on guitar. The trio formed a band called The Iveys, named after a street in Swansea, Wales (and a pun on influential British Invasion group, The Hollies). By 1965, Mike Gibbins had joined as the drummer, and the band began playing locally with such groups as the Spencer Davis Group, the Who, the Moody Blues and the Yardbirds. The fo ...

For years afterward, lawsuits and bankruptcies haunted Badfinger on both sides of the Atlantic. Ham left behind a widow and a daughter, Petera.
Evans and Jackson would form The Dodgers later in 1975 (Jackson also later joined The Fortunes. Molland formed Na ...
