The sole album by The Iveys, which is really the debut album by Badfinger. Once the Beatles label, Apple, discovered them and signed them, they agreed a name change was needed. The fun thing is that I didn't know this when I listened to the album. I just thought, damn, this is a great unknown band! So many good songs, and you can see why McCartney loved them. They have a Tin Pan Alley sensibility, or whatever the British equivalent is, and they are adept at pop/rock. It is a thoroughly enjoyable album, and now I look forward to listening to Badfinger's albums.
