"Memories On The Road" Bud Becker's Phone Calls on 1973 Badfinger Tour Dates

Memories On The Road

Used with permission from Bud Becker. This tape contains phone calls between booking agents from December 1972 discussing Badfinger concert dates for February 9th and 10th, 1973. The argument centers around whether Badfinger agreed to play 2 shows on February 9th at Frostberg State College in Cumberland, Maryland. A very revealing moment occurs when it is revealed that Badfinger's manager, manager, Stan Polley, changed the arrangements. Badfinger did play the show on February 9, 1973.

These recordings offer a glimpse of the mess behind Badfinger's business dealings, and more broadly, reveal a powerful lesson in the music business and a behind-the-scenes look at the dynamic between artists, managers, and promoters. I purchased these discs off ebay many years ago from Bud Becker and thought they were worth sharing with the world.

LOT #16012 Badfinger's Management Contract with Stan Polley

A document of dramatic importance to the unfortunate history of Badfinger, presented here is the band's original May 5th, 1970 management contract in which they hire Stan Polley as their manager. A brief but effective one page agreement, reading in part, "Dear Mr. Polley, Irrevokable permission is herein granted to Five Arts Management, Inc., to exclusively negotiate and consummate any and all contracts pertaining to the entertainment industry, both verbal and written... In addition, this letter is intended to serve as irrefutable power of attorney throughout the world." Signed at the conclusion by Pete Ham, Tom Evans, Joe Molland, Mike Gibbons and Bill Collins in a rich blue fountain pen ink. Polley would serve as the key figure in Badfinger's financial catastrophe that ultimately drove lead singer Pete Ham to take his own life in 1975. From The Tom Fontaine Music Memorabilia Collection.
