With the benefit of a half century s hindsight, it can be argued that despite massive creativity and talent, Badfinger was star-crossed nearly from its start. Badfinger s music especially its lyrics, written variously by all its members reflects much of that turmoil, and at least from an artistic perspective, it s more the better for it.

Badfinger – Magic Christian Music
LINEUP: Pete Ham, Tom Evans, Ron Griffiths, Mike Gibbins. A little help from Nicky Hopkins and Paul McCartney.
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT: Semi ‘soundtrack’ to The Magic Christian adds several other tracks, including some older ones from a pulled album, to the three recorded for the movie. It’s as disjointed as it sounds.
SOME WORDS, PHRASES AND CLAUSES ABOUT THIS RECORD: The Iveys were one of the first bands singed to Apple, and they released a record in three countries before it was halted. In a few short months, they were commissioned for tracks for Ringo’s new movie, and changed their name to Badfinger. The single from the film, “Come and Get It”, written by Sir Paul McCartney, was a big hit.
Due to some legal shenanigans, the official soundtrack wasn’t readily available, so Apple dug out some Iveys tracks, and some other unreleased songs and, viola, an album was produced.
There’s some good tracks around, such as “Crimson Ship” and “Midnight Sun”. But some tracks are too derivative, or don’t really go anywhere. It does sound like the work of two or three sessions with different motives stuck together. Plus, the songs as the Iveys really are a step behind the others.
NOTES & MINUTIAE: Original guitarist Ron Griffiths left after the sessions, but before this was released.
IS THERE A DELUXE VERSION: Yes, with a lot of the tracks from the original Iveys album. Nothing earth shaking but a couple tracks could have been swapped out with the official album tracks.
GRADE: B: Not really a great introduction to the band, but there’s some good tracks here.
In the years that followed, the members of Badfinger endured a series of hardships that compounded one another dramatically. Apple’s financial meltdown had weighed heavily on the band and at one time, the members of Badfinger shared an apartment with no furniture. Pete Ham had trouble providing for his wife and their newly born child. His songs and the songs of his bandmates, meanwhile, lit up the radio. After the release of their second record, “No Dice,” the infamous Stan Polley was brought on as manager. Polley, later implicated as a mob extortionist, almost immediately began siphoning copious amounts of money into his own pockets. Two albums later, the band signed a new contract with Warner Brothers. Polley extorted $250,000 within the first year. In perhaps the saddest twist, though this shadowy embezzlement was happening unbeknownst to the band, it led to a lawsuit against not Stan Polley, but against Stan Polley and Badfinger. This legal battle with their own label instantly nullified their recording contract and Badfinger’s career was essentially destroyed. In April of 1975, a 27 year old Pete Ham was found hanged in his garage. He left a note that read, “Stan Polley is a soulless bastard. I will take him with me.” It is known that Tom Evans was called to the house, where he is said to have stared at his friend’s body. Eight years later, broke and defeated, Evans also hung himself, in what was perhaps the final note of harmony performed by the two of them.
For those seeking a thrill, there is a snow tubing hill where visitors can slide down the snow-covered hillside on inflatable tubes. This exhilarating activity is a hit among both children and adults alike. To warm up after all the outdoor fun, Millcreek Magic Ice offers a cozy lodge where visitors can enjoy hot chocolate, warm comfort food, and a crackling fire. The lodge also hosts live music performances, adding to the festive atmosphere. Millcreek Magic Ice is not only a fun-filled event but also an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the beauty of winter. The event attracts both locals and tourists, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere. In conclusion, Millcreek Magic Ice is a winter event that combines skating, snow tubing, ice sculptures, and live music to create a magical and memorable experience. Whether you are a local or a tourist, it is an event worth attending to embrace the spirit of the winter season and create lasting memories..
Reviews for "Chasing the Northern Lights at Millcreek's Magic Ice Spectacle"
- Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with Millcreek magic ice. The flavor was bland and artificial tasting, and it melted way too quickly. The texture was also strange and chalky. Definitely not worth the price. I won't be buying it again.
- Mike - 2 stars - Millcreek magic ice was just okay. The flavors were decent, but nothing special, and the texture was a bit too icy for my liking. It also left a weird aftertaste in my mouth. I've had better ice creams for a similar price, so I won't be repurchasing.
- Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Millcreek magic ice, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The flavors were ho-hum, and there wasn't enough variety to choose from. The ice cream was also quite hard and difficult to scoop, even after letting it soften for a while. Overall, I wasn't impressed and won't be buying it again.
- David - 3 stars - Millcreek magic ice was just average for me. The flavors were decent, but nothing extraordinary. The texture was smooth, but it melted quickly, which was a bit annoying. It's not a bad ice cream, but there are definitely better options out there.
