Ill-starred, Badfingerโ€™s final album before guitarist/vocalist Pete Hamโ€™s suicide was designed to annoy. Made in 1975, it finally saw the light of day in 2000. Given the nature of โ€œHey, Mr Managerโ€, โ€œRockโ€™nโ€™Roll Contractโ€ and โ€œSavile Rowโ€, the Welsh power poppers practically signed their own death warrant. Creatively, Head First reeks of insecurity and shifting tastes within, but its archly melodic, cynical elements could strike a chord with Super Furry Animals types. A period piece with added demos, this is the tarnished gilt on the โ€™70s mirror.
