Around about this time thirty years ago, I worked as engineer on Badfinger's first Warner Brothers album. Pete was generally down - there were background management issues, and he readily admitted he'd never really got over not having the successful version of their own song "Without You" - "...nobody thought it was a hit". He really tried with "I Miss You", and put a lot of store by it. Tommy, on the other hand, was more pragmatic, after all, they were earning from the song, he thought. Pete's tragic death (and later, Tommy's) really shook me, as I was relatively new to the music business, and had little awareness of the effect it can have on sensitive souls.
