Synopsis

Album Description
The final studio album by Badfinger before vocalist/guitarist Pete Ham's suicide in April 1975 - is certainly one of the most legendary unreleased albums in rock history.

Fully titled 'Head First-The Last Sessions'. Disc 2 is a bonus CD of rare demos. Double slimline jewel case housed in a slipcase. 2000 release.

Badfinger's best?
D. L. Blair | Katy,Tx. USA | 10/16/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Head First was the last Badfinger album by the orginal group. Joey Molland had left the group prior to its recording and because of the conflict with their manager and Warner Brothers, it was wasnt released until 2000. It is clear that this recording was rushed and some of the songs sound like it. It has its moments, Pete's songs,"Lay Me Down" and "Keep Believing" are what you would expect from him. Bob Jackson replaced Joey in the line up and wrote "Turn Around", an excellent song but not the "Badfinger" sound we were accustom to hearing. Tom's "Rock and Roll Contract" is rough and much better on "Say No More". "Hey Mr. Manager" is one of Tom's best songs in a couple of albums. But his composition with Bob Jackson, "Passed Fast", is without a doubt one of the best Badfinger songs ever and the reason to buy this cd. Mike's songs sound rough and unfinshed other than "Moonshine" with features vocals by Tom, Bob and himself. The recording of "Head First" was marked by the sad situation the group was in and the absense of Joey Molland and it shows. The second cd is rough demos and fragments which us fans might appreciate. The overall package is nice but I wish they could have put more effort in the artwork, maybe pictures of the group or use Tom's original vision of the cover art. All said, it just doesnt move like any other Badfinger or Badfinger reunion album. Certainly not their best."
