![]() ![]() Brando's Badfinger Covers Radio Brando's Badfinger Covers Radio This page last updated on May 9, 2002 Welcome to BBC Radio. Now the disclaimer: We are not in any way affiliated with the organization using a similar acronym located on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean. Their BBC acronym stands for the the British Broadcasting Corporation (or Company - I'm not exactly sure what their 'C' stands for). Our BBC stands for Brando's Badfinger Covers (BBC) Radio. The goal with our BBC Radio is to play cover versions of classic Badfinger recordings along with songs that are somehow related to Badfinger. Most folks know that I tried Real Audio in the fall of 1999 and it didn't work, then I switched to putting wave files online of Badfinger covers. That was okay, except in March 2000 my internet provider made some changes preventing me from using those. What I'm hoping to do here is to have a song or two online each month in either wave or mp3 form that is somehow related to Badfinger. Some of these tunes may be available in other formats on the net. If your looking for Badfinger bootleg material, I suggest going to my links page and linking over to Darren English's website and check out his Badfinger Radio (puts mine to shame.but hey I'm trying). Short Notes: Earlier this year (2001) Darren English decided to focus on other interests and has (hopefully only temporary) removed his site from the web. Feb 11, 2009 - Hard Rock Nights is a weekly radio program on WMWX in. 0 EMI Music To Reissue Lillian Axe's Poetic Justice and Psychoschizophrenia. Music will reissue as download only releases, the albums: “Poetic Justice”. Also: I'm currently only able to feature a song or two at a time, so if there is a song listed here you are curious about that states 'currently offline' drop me an email and I'll try to work it into a rotation so you can enjoy the track. ********************************************************************** BBC: HERE'S A STORY, ABOUT A BAND NAMED BADFINGER. (March 23, 2002) In late 1971 Apple Records released the classic Badfinger recording, 'Day After Day.' Eager to cash in on the instant classic, the pre-adult portion (minus John Denver look-a-like Oliver) of the Brady Bunch clan went into the studio and recorded the song for their own upcoming LP. The album would be titled Meet the Brady Bunch and would also feature their interpretations of other hit songs including Bread's 'Baby I'm a Want You,' Lobo's 'Me and You and a Dog Named Boo' along with the ultimate 70's song, 'American Pie.' The Badfinger cover song did not feature a lead vocal, it is a choral performance though it is fairly easy to distinguish Maureen McCormick's voice from the rest of the pack. I'm not sure if it is Clapton or Harrison doing the guitar work.on second thought it is probably neither. Sidenote: The mp3 of the Brady Bunch performing the Badfinger song is not the same mp3 I had on the site about 2 years ago. This is a much cleaner version (minus the pops and clicks and early fade) than the earlier mp3. Mac microsoft office. Thus you may want to take a 'new' listen to this improved version of the Brady Bunch performing 'Day After Day.' CURRENTLY OFFLINE: BBC Radio Presents: The Brady Bunch performing Badfinger's 'Day After Day.' ********************************************************************** BBC: WISH YOU WERE HERE (RADIO AD?) (March 16, 2002) A few years ago Ebay had for auction two reel-to-reel tapes that were supposed to be radio spots for the two released Badfinger albums on Warner Brothers. I lost the bidding (I believe the two one-minute radio spots went for about $80, but I'm not sure). Anyway, a year or so ago what appeared to be one of the radio spots showed up on the net. I say 'appeared' because although this sounds like a radio spot for Wish You Were Here, I remember reading someone laying claim to actually creating a 'fake' radio spot on their computer. I'm not sure if this is the 'real' thing or the artificial advertisement. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this recording (is it live or is it Memorex?). Either way, it is available for your listening pleasure. ********************************************************************** BBC: WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT (February 3, 2002) You may be asking what this item is all about.
