Apple Records releases Badfinger's first single, "Come and Get It" in the UK. The Paul McCartney written tune would climb to #4 on the Official Chart. It would be released in America on January 12th, 1970 and rose to #7, becoming the first of the band's four Billboard Top 40 hits.

Read more about Badfinger today, that band really got shafted. While they were making records for Apple Records, it was breaking up. Then most of the money they made was stolen by their manager. That's almost worse than teen bands who sucked in by the NYC music mafia in the early 60s, like The Teenagers.
