It's hard to discuss British rock band Badfinger and NOT focus on the tragic details of their too-short career. This week's guest, legendary Miami music maven Rich Ulloa (Yesterday & Today Records, Y&T Music), doesn't shy away from the dark parts, but much prefers to focus on the wonderful music these four lads from Swansea gifted the world. Their 1971 release 'Straight Up' is as fine an example of lush, meticulously recorded and thrillingly played power-pop as you're ever likely to find.  Songs featured in this episode: Take It All (Live) - Badfinger; We Can Work It Out - The Beatles; Clowntime Is Over - Elvis Costello; This Broken Heart - The Mavericks; Flagboy - For Squirrels; Thirsty Boots - Bob Dylan; Perfection - Sweet Lizzy Project; Come And Get It, No Matter What, Apple Of My Eye, Take It All - Badfinger; Golden Slumbers - The Beatles; Maybe I'm Amazed (Live) - Paul McCartney and Wings; Baby Blue - Badfinger; Money - The Flying Lizards; Money, Flying, I'd Die Babe - Badfinger; No Matter What - Jellyfish; Name Of The Game - Badfinger; Time Has Come Today - The Chambers Brothers; Suitcase, Sweet Tuesday Morning, Day After Day - Badfinger; No More - Pete Ham; Sometimes - Badfinger; It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference - Todd Rundgren; Perfection, It's Over - Badfinger; Piano Red - Albert Castiglia Band (Featuring Mandy Marylane); No Matter What (World Version) - Stan Lynch; Eyesight To The Blind - Mose Allison; Name Of The Game - Amanda Green
