"Come and Get It" was the record that turned the Iveys into Badfinger: their first release under the new name, a song Paul McCartney wrote for the 1969 film The Magic Christian and then produced for them himself. Apple issued it in Britain on 5 December 1969, with the American release following in January 1970, and it later turned up on Magic Christian Music.
It's a tidy, bright slice of power pop with a salesman's grin, and Badfinger dress the tune in three-part harmonies that make the hand-me-down sound like their own. It cracked the top 10 in both Britain and the States and gave the band their international breakthrough.
