Badfinger-Straight Up (1971)

"Straight Up" is a pop-rock masterpiece that however did not have the success or recognition it should.
It was the Beatle George Harrison who would choose to produce this album initially after Apple Records (owned by The Beatles) initially rejected the album.
Eventually it would be Todd Rundgren who would oversee the production before it was released in 1971.
An album that contains jewels such as "Day After Day" where Harrison himself appears as a guest on guitars and Leon Russell on piano.
A song nowadays so vindicated, that it was a successful single that could have gone much further if it were not for the fact that the record label itself was going through its low hours.
The album also contained very remarkable titles like "Name Of The Game", "Take It All" or "I´d Die Baby" that made up a colossal album that unfortunately (a constant in Badfinger) could not have gone much further.
