Album Notes Although AIRWAVES--the 1979 reunion album by original Badfinger members Joey Molland and Tom Evans--is not in the same league as Badfinger's early seventies power pop classics NO DICE and STRAIGHT UP, it is a strong album and perhaps the most pop-oriented record of Badfinger's career. Now reissued with improved sound, five bonus cuts and excellent liner notes, AIRWAVES provides ample proof that Badfinger made plenty of great music after the death of group leader Pete Ham.By the time of the reunion, both Molland and Evans developed into first-rate writers. The album's key track is Molland's "Love Is Gonna Come At Last", a soaring power pop single that was a minor hit for the group in 1979. Featuring a gorgeous melody, shimmering electric guitars and a superb vocal performance from Molland, the tune is arguably one of Badfinger's finest moments. Other tracks like the Evans' rocker "Look Out California" and the McCartneyesque ballad "Lost Inside Your Love" have also aged well and it's great to finally hear these wonderful tracks on CD.
Editorial Reviews ...As evidenced by tracks such as the grand, melodic ballad Lost Inside Your Love and Love Is Gonna Come At Last..., even without the immeasurable songwriting talents of [guitarist Pete] Ham, Badfinger was still capable of writing some memorable songs. CMJ (06/28/1999)
