"Airwaves" is an album by the British rock band Badfinger, released in 1979. It marked the band's return to recording after a hiatus due to internal issues and business troubles. Notably, the album features the songwriting and singing skills of two founding members: Tom Evans and Joey Molland.
This album was the first one they recorded after their reunion, with Evans and Molland recruiting new band members: Joe Tansin and Peter Clarke, to replace late founding members, Pete Ham and Mike Gibbins. The album includes contributions by the famous Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick who co-produced the "Airwaves" with Badfinger.
Musically, Airwaves carries forward the band's signature power pop sound but also brings in elements of soft rock. The record, while not massively commercially successful, stands as a testimony to the band's enduring musical prowess and passion. It features notable songs such as "Lost Inside Your Love," "Love Is Gonna Come At Last," and "The Winner". The track "Love Is Gonna Come At Last" managed to chart, reaching #69 on Billboard Hot 100 in the USA, becoming the band's final charting single.
Despite the difficult circumstances surrounding its creation, with the album "Airwaves", Badfinger left a piece of work that continues to resonate within rock music history.
