From Badfinger – Magic Christian Music: Blue Vinyl LP [NAD 2025] – The Sound of Vinyl:

Magic Christian Music is the second album released by Welsh rock band, Badfinger, who had previously performed and released one album (Maybe Tomorrow) as The Iveys. Badfinger recorded 5 albums for The Beatles’ label, Apple Records, and were the first non-Beatle recording artists signed to the label.

This would be the first time the 2010 remasters of Magic Christian Music are available on vinyl, and the first time the album has been pressed since 1996.

Magic Christian Music includes the band’s first international hit, ‘Come And Get It’, written and produced for them by Paul McCartney. Of the fourteen tracks, seven were newly recorded for the album while the remaining songs were lifted from Maybe Tomorrow, which had seen only limited release in a handful of international markets. Three of the new tracks were featured in the film The Magic Christian (Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr), which bear the strongest ‘Beatle connection’: ‘Come And Get It’, ‘Rock Of All Ages’ and ‘Carry On Till Tomorrow’. They were produced by Paul McCartney, and the strings on ‘Carry On Till Tomorrow’ were arranged and conducted by Beatles producer George Martin. 6 tracks were produced by Tony Visconti and five by Mal Evans.

Pressed on 180g sky blue vinyl, housed in a single sleeve featuring original artwork, with polylined white inner sleeves.
