Band Notes
  After Badƒinger disbanded following Pete Ham's suicide in 1975, Bob Jackson remained in contact with Tom Evans. The two joined The Dodgers in 1975.
  The Dodgers released two singles for Island Records. In August of that year, Paul Hooper joined the group. They started to record their debut album and a first single of this line-up was released in early 1977.
  In April the group's management decided that Tom Evans did not fit to the group's image and therefore he was asked to leave. Roger Lomas was hired to be the new member of the Dodgers. With the new group member on board all bass parts and vocals that had been recorded by Tom Evans were scrubbed and re-recorded.
  In 1978 two more singles and the debut album of the group were released. The same year Jackson was released by the band due to management disagreements.

1. Tommy Evans Interview 32:45

Track Notes
  Come inside the world of the late 60s Beatles empire through the acute insights of a young Liverpool musician who saw it all unravel before his eyes.
  Tommy Evans and his cohorts were personally groomed by the Fab Four and for a time, captured their original innocent essence.
  Here Tommy Evans talks about being signed to Apple, recording with Paul McCartney (and acting as a sounding board during his disputes with John Lennon), the Concert for Bangla Desh, Badƒinger's string of hits, the tragic death of Pete Ham, songwriting, his dispair over the Apple legal morass, and much more. Honest and earnest, this interview is an integral part of an essential rock time capsule.

Mike's bio from the booklet:
In the early 70's, under the wing of the Beatles' Apple label, Badƒinger helped to pioneer a musical style that years later would become known as "power pop", laying the groundwork for modern practitoners like the Posies and Matthew Sweet.

With their trademark heavy yet melodic guitars, gorgeous melodies, and superior song writing, it was no accident that Badƒinger stood out like a sore thumb among most of the album oriented, FM rock dreck of the day.

Today, a revived Apple Records has reissued the band's entire back catalogue and artists like Mariah Carey, Aimee Mann and many others continue to record their songs and have hits with them.

So what does all this have to do with Mike Gibbins, you may ask? Well, Mike filled the drummers seat during Badƒinger's entire career. He now lives in Florida where he'd rather look to the future. He has built a studio and is prepairing to record his first solo record. These two tracks are the first demos he put to tape with his new toys and are a hint of great things sure to come.

Come And Get It
a tribute to Badƒinger

Released: September 1996
Label: Copper Discs

Disc Notes - excerpt
  Badƒinger have become one of the most beloved of all post-Beatles pop/rock bands. Originally called The Iveys when they formed in England in the mid-Sixties, Badƒinger was one of the most sought-after unsigned bands on the British scene...

 ...Twenty years later, their music remains timeless, and Copper Discs is proud to present this tribute album featuring some of the finest and most successlul musical decendants of the band's sound as well as some new bands, who have yet to gain their own record deals, performing 22 of Badƒinger's most beloved songs.

  Special thanks to: ...Joey and Kathie Molland, and finally the boys in Badƒinger: Tommy, Joey, Pete and Mike. May your music live on and on.

DVD Notes
Perhaps no other group in rock history has a more tragic story than Badƒinger. Signed by Apple Records, Badƒinger went to score a number of chart hits including Come & Get It, No Matter What, Day After Day, Baby Blue and the mega hit, Without You. Sadly, after leaving Apple, managerial problems which bordered on the sinister, torpedoed this immensely talented band's career which led to the suicides of two of its members. For a long overdue look at one of Rock's most underrated groups, "Badƒinger" is a must see.

- Ken Sharp, co-author "Power Pop"

Track Notes ~ Recording Quality
[S] = Studio ~ Excellent
[R] = Rehearsal ~ Good
[L] = Live ~ Fair

BWR Notes
This was a short lived, rather dubious double CD release orchestrated by Bob Evans. These capture the Badƒinger band, at that time, during rehearsals and several live shows from 1981 thru 1983. Several problems arise with this release: the crediting of the songs, song titles, the use of both Paul and Linda McCartney's name associated with "CancerBACKUP," among other situations. Listed to the right is exactly the way they are credited on the CDs...

This Bob Evans self-released CD set is very hard to locate, because it was pulled soon after its original release. The quality level is [L] fair, [R] good, [S] excellent, with several 'essential' recordings for Badƒinger/Tommy fans. Otherwise, it is an unremarkable item.

The Liner Notes:
Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badƒinger were two of the brighter talents signed to the Beatles' dream empire Apple. The duo composed the majority of the group's successful 45's and received great acclaim for writing Harry Nilsson's #1 hit "Without You." Badƒinger, then called The lveys, had originally been signed to the Fabs' creative conglomerate based on the undeniably strong songwriting skills of its members.

Following their own highly-praised 45 "Maybe Tomorrow," the group exploded with their recording of Paul McCartney's "Come And Get It." The song charted in the Top 10 worldwide throughout the early months of 1970. From there they shone their beacon of harmonious, melodic pop over a storming sea of eclectic radio programming. In an era when teen idols, country-rock, blues, singer-songwriter and progressive all were proliferating, Ham and Evans broke the airwaves standards by penning hit after hit of well-crafted Beatle-influenced songs when rare was the act bold enough to even attempt it. Five consecutive hit singles kicked off Badƒinger's recording career. Outstanding accomplishments were predicted.

Sadly, their run was abruptly cut short through behind-the-scenes corruption, management gaffes and crippling personal demons. Despite the 1974 release of the innovative, well-reviewed album "Wish You Were Here," the group was essentially finished, ending with the tragic suicide deaths of Pete Ham in 1975 and Tom Evans in 1983.

Fortunately, they left behind a wealth of high-caliber material now ready to be aggressively showcased to potential new audiences. This duo's well-respected studio catalog is only partially reflected here. Bug Music, as the new administrator of the domestic publishing rights for the estates and heirs of Pete and Tom, is both honored end eager to promote this music out to the masses. Besides this CD of remastered tracks, nearly the entire Ham/Evans recorded catalog is also available for your licensing consideration, including many songwriting demos which have been released on the CDs "7 Park Avenue," "Golders Green" and "Over You."
