buckeye sent this Great Badfinger Bootleg Compilation Into HRC!
From Wiki:
On August 2, 1969, McCartney presented his demo [of Come And Get It] to Apple band Badfinger (then called The Iveys) telling them, "Okay, it's got to be exactly like this demo." His "carrot" for the band was his offer to produce this song and two other Iveys originals for the movie The Magic Christian, since he had a contract to supply three songs for it. The band followed his instructions.
McCartney auditioned each of the four Iveys to sing lead on "Come and Get It". Ultimately, he picked fellow Liverpudlian Tom Evans over the three Welshmen, Pete Ham, Ron Griffiths, and Mike Gibbins.
The single was released on Apple Records on 5 December 1969. "Come and Get It" was a hit single for the band, peaking at No. 7 in the United States, and No. 4 in the United Kingdom. It was the opening theme for the film The Magic Christian, starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr (it was also repeated during the movie's closing credits, with an additional string arrangement added). The biggest differences between the two versions are a slower tempo on McCartney's original and Badfinger's version featuring the use of three-part harmonies.
The UK picture sleeve for the single shows all four members of Badfinger that appear on the song, although bassist Ron Griffiths departed the band before the single was released.
In 1978 a reformed version of Badfinger re-recorded "Come and Get It" for K-Tel Records, with Evans again singing lead. This served to provide a demo recording to give to Elektra, and resulted in the Airwaves album in 1979.
buckeye said this here about this 2 Disc Set:
"Here's a bunch of Badfinger outtakes & rarities spanning their career. Even though some of the songs were released on the re-issued discs, these are (supposedly) different mixes. As a big fan of Badfinger, I was totally blown away by the outtake version of Day After Day."
AND, I Do Agree With Him!
