Badfinger produced the sessions for the Straight Up sequel themselves, abandoning its lush production for a live, hard-rocking sound.
Apple wasn't keen on the record, insisting that it be remixed, then, once it was remixed, refusing to release it, so the band jumped ship to Warner Bros. in the fall of 1973.
Just after Badfinger released their debut single for the label and were prepping a new album, Apple sprung Ass on the world.
As it happened, it would be the last record Apple would release, so it was barely given any support by the label and made little impression on the sales charts.
Still, it certainly hurt the band, since its heavier rock alienated some pop fans and its chart belly-flop tainted plans for a triumphant return on Warner

LABELS: MINT
Immaculate, factory fresh labels - possibly one light spindle trace - doubt it’s ever been played
VINYL Visual: MINT
Both surfaces are unmarked and shine like-new
VINYL Audio: MINT
My one careful play-check found nothing to fault - looks and sounds untouched
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Crisp and sharp - no edge or spine wear to speak of - some light creases to the extremities - nothing really - fine condition
