This is a fabulous interview with Tom Evans, who, along with Pete Ham, was one of the guiding lights
of the seminal band Badfinger. Evans traces Badfinger's origins -- from the formation of the Iveys
through their Apple Records signing, the success of the Paul McCartney-penned "Come and Get It,"
and their phenomenal Straight Up and No Dice records. The Story of Badfinger is a lot more than
success, however. Mismanagement, the chaotic nature of Apple, and the suicide of Pete Ham
all create a very real drama. Evans covers all of this and more here with honesty, humor, and pathos.
The saddest part is that Evans himself committed suicide just a year after this interview.
