The Classic Albums: Badfinger's 'Straight Up' (Jan 18, 2010)
Interview by Joe Matera
Do you remember what sort of budget was allocated by Apple for the recording of the album?
Joey Molland:
Parts of our recording deal with Apple Records, was that they paid for all our recording costs – which they never recouped incidentally - so I never saw a recording budget. The deal was that they would pay for all the recording costs and all the coats and never recoup. Instead they would just pay the band something like 5%. The publishing deal we had with Apple was a routine deal, where they got the publishing and we got the writers, a 50/50 deal.
