ALBUM OF THE DAY AT THE http://AICPENDBLOG.COM :
Badfinger disbanded after their previous album and then the duo of Tom Evans and Joey Molland reformed to make a comeback album.

However, critics were unkind and their record label made little to no effort to promote the album which saw it die a slow death.
