2024/06/05 Tom Evans / I Am Myself
Y&T Music is proud to announce a limited-edition CD release of "I Am Myself," a new album of rare home demos by an original member of the legendary band, Badfinger, Tom Evans. Evans was also a guitarist for The Iveys, when they were signed to Apple Records in 1968, before they changed their name to Badfinger. "I Am Myself" is being released with the full support of the Evans Estate and is the first time that these historic recordings have been released to the public. This a very limited edition of 1,000 copies that also comes with a beautiful art print of a rare early photo of Tom. Evans wrote and sang lead on The Iveys' first single for Apple Records in 1969, "Maybe Tomorrow," which was a minor worldwide hit. When The Iveys became Badfinger at the end of 1969, Tom also sang lead on their first major hit single written by Paul McCartney, "Come And Get It." On Badfinger's 2nd album, for Apple, "No Dice," he co-wrote the song, "Without You" with Pete Ham, which singer Harry Nilsson covered and made into a successful worldwide #1 single in 1972. These rare recordings were compiled and edited by Tom Brennan and carefully restored and mastered by Kevin McElligott. The recordings were originally transferred digitally by Badfinger historian Dan Matovina.
