The Iveys
had been a moderately successful Swansea-based beat group in the mid-sixties performing cover versions of the latest pop and soul records before they engaged Liverpudlian
Bill Collins
as their manager. Collins had known the
Beatles
back in 1962-63 and was chummy with their road manager
Mal Evans
, who came along to an Iveys gig in January 1968. This led to the group being signed by Apple Records for a three-year deal. Tom Evans' composition Maybe Tomorrow was the first single. Although it bombed in the UK and USA, it was an international smash released in 20 countries worldwide. "We felt our original name was too nice. And people kept asking us if we were the old Ivy League." In November 1969, The Iveys changed their name to
Badfinger
to coincide with the release of their recording of the
Paul McCartney
song, "Come And Get It". Side one of this set contains songs recorded by the Iveys for the BBC in 1969, and side two consists of Badfinger sessions from 1970 for the BBC and a couple of tracks for the German TV program,
Beat Club
. Recording quality is excellent throughout except for Birthday and Nobody where unfortunately a better quality source was not available.
