Have seen Danny Kirwin and Bob Welsh in print more than once.

Interesting thoughts about the final three Bob/FM albums on CD back then. Makes sense.

What happened with the Badfinger WB albums was before Pete Ham was dead. Their U.S. guy who negotiated the WB deal took all the money meant to be in escrow after starting some kind of corporation named Badfinger Inc. This somehow forced WB to sue the band adding to their stress on top of not seeing money their U.S. manager promised. Plus there were Apple royalties all in escrow as well they couldn't touch if they even knew it was there. WB pulled the Wish You Were Here LP fairly shortly after release. Despite that the group began recording a third WB album to help fix things (minus a rightly disgruntled Joey Molland who saw no light ever coming). That third album was finally released as Head First and is excellent. It is the worst story I've ever heard about the music biz.
