Badfinger singles
Come and Get It is a song composed and produced by Paul McCartney, it was offered to the Badfinger group to serve as a theme for the film The Magic Christian , featuring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr. A demo will be recorded by its author playing all the instruments and will be included on the album of the Beatles Anthology 3 in 1996.
Paul McCartney recorded this solo demo on , when he arrived in advance for a Beatles recording sessions for the album Abbey Road . He sings and played the piano during the first catch, sings again and plays maracas during the first overdub , the battery is recorded in third and the bass was added last. It took less than an hour to finish everything. Compared to the version re -recorded by Badfinger, the biggest differences are a slightly slower tempo, a slightly higher tone on the McCartney demo and the use of three -part harmonies on the group’s single. Even if McCartney was the only beatle to play on the track, after appearing on various bootlegs, she was officially published as Beatles song on the compilation album Anthology 3 in 1996 and in remastered version on the version Super Luxe of the reissue of 50 It is Anniversary of the album Abbey Road In 2019 [ first ] . In his book Revolution in the Head , Ian Macdonald described it as “by far the best new recording of the Beatles”.
The , McCartney presented his demo to the Badfinger group (then called the IVEYS) by saying to them: “OK, it must be exactly like this demo”. Since he had a contract to provide three songs for the film The Magic Christian , he was able to demand this condition by then promising to produce the other two original pieces of the group.
McCartney heard each of the four artists for the main song on Come and Get It . In the end, he chose his compatriot of Liverpool Tom Evans, to the detriment of the three Welsh, Pete Ham, Ron Griffiths and Mike Gibbins.
The single came out on Apple Records on in the United Kingdom, but that the in the USA. Come and Get It was a success for the group, reaching the 7 It is rank in the United States and 4 It is UK. It was the theme of opening of the film and was also heard during the final credits, this time with an additional string arrangement. The British single cover shows a kaleidoscopic montage of the four members of Badfinger that we hear about the song, although bassist Ron Griffiths has already left the group before the single. The song is also found on the film’s album, played by Badfinger, and in a short a cappella version by a choir. The latter and half of the other tracks of the album are musical pieces written or orchestrated by Ken Thorne [ 2 ] , the same one who wrote and arranged the music of the film Help! des Beatles in 1965 [ 3 ] . She also finds herself, with Carry On Till Tomorrow And Rock of All Ages , the other two songs of the group heard in the film, on their album Magic Christian Music (in) [ 4 ] .
In 1978, a new version of the Badfinger group re-recorded the song for the K-TEL label (in) , with Evans once again in the main song. This was used to provide a model to present to Elektra Records which led them to record the album Airwaves In 1979.
