Some clown has a funny sense of humour. Even though the cover states the artist as
Badfinger, and the title as "Timeless", the CD itself is labelled as "Hang Man". LMFAO

This aside, good selections and great performances are selected. The original recording
of the Agora Ballrom show has not been featured in this quality on CD before, albeit in
an edited form.

You get to hear the Agora tracks as they were before Joe Molland's effort in remastering
them for the Rykodisc Badfinger live "Day After Day" CD. On the Rykodisc version, Joe
Molland re-recorded the backing tracks and some of the vocals. To make matters worse he
put his own songs before Pete's on the CD. Joey's tracks stand up well on their own, and
didn't need this type of false presentation. Anyone remember the ill feeling evident when
McCartney changes the credits of the Beatles tunes he released on his live CDs? This
smacks of the same.... and it didn't need to be that way. Anyway, back to the bootleg.....

The Iveys demo tracks sound cleaner than the "Someday We'll Be Known" disk, but you do
not get the fade in reprise that is featured on "Girl Next Door" on "Someday We'll Be
Known". To demonstrate how little work went into this release, the Philadelphia show
contains all the dropouts and tape hiss that is apparent on the master tape used for the
recording. "Feeling Alright" is missing five minutes from the beginning of the song. We
begin well into Pete Ham's solo of this great performance. "Someday" sounds great, as
does "Up On Cripple Creek".

Overall this is an interesting cross-section of Pete Ham era Badfinger. A core collection
disc that still stands up well years after its original release.
