Badfinger - Ass album cover | |||||||||||||||
Ass is the last album released on Apple Records by power pop band Badfinger. The lead track, "Apple Of My Eye," refers to the band leaving the label to begin its contract with Warner Brothers Records. The cover artwork also alludes to the label change.
Although recordings for the album began as early as 1972, it wasn't released until November 26, 1973 in the United States. Ass was originally delayed because of production quality, as the band attempted to produce the album themselves. Producer Chris Thomas was hired to improve the overall recordings and make new track selections. The album was further delayed when a disagreement surfaced between Apple and Badfinger's management on publishing copyrights. Ass was not released in the UK until May 1974. It peaked at #122 in the Billboard Hot 200. The album did not chart well in any venue, and the single "Apple Of My Eye" only peaked at #102 on Billboard's "Bubbling Under" chart in America. Although for many years it was one of the most commonly found albums released by Badfinger, it is now rare in CD format due to its being re-released in selected countries (UK, Canada and Japan) and only for a limited period.
