Pete Ham - Perfection demo (December 1970)
This is the original demo Pete Ham recorded in December 1970 at his brother's shop in Swansea while on Holiday after Badfinger's first U.S. tour. Pete was struck by the political unrest and poverty he saw in the States. Always socially conscious and a humanitarian at heart, he was inspired to write this and lay down the song down on a Revox Sound-On-Sound. He first laid a track singing and playing an acoustic guitar. Then he plugged in an electric guitar direct signal to the recording deck and played a one-take track of lead guitar throughout. A gem was born!
