Apple Records releases Badfinger’s first single, “Come and Get It” in the UK. The Paul McCartney written tune would climb to #4 on the Official Chart. It would be released in America on January 12th, 1970 and rose to #7, becoming the first of the band’s four Billboard Top 40 hits.

That’s almost worse than teen bands who sucked in by the NYC music mafia in the early 60s, like The Teenagers.
