Wish You Were Here (Badfinger Album)
''Wish You Were Here'' is the seventh studio album by rock band Badfinger and their third consecutive album produced by Chris Thomas. It was recorded in the spring of 1974 at Colorado's Caribou Ranch and released in November of that year on Warner Bros. Records. ''Wish You Were Here'' was the second and last album the band released on the Warner Bros. label. History Although the album received a favourable review in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine and is sometimes considered to be the band's best work, it was withdrawn from record stores in early 1975, seven weeks after release, because of a lawsuit between Warner music publishing and Badfinger's management. The album's abbreviated manufacturing run and short tenure on the market has made the original LP relatively rare. Before being recalled, ''Wish You Were Here'' had time enough to chart, peaking at number 148 in the United States. In the 1990s it was re-released in CD format in Japan and Germany only. The album was issued on CD ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
