LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 12, 2019…ON THIS DAY IN 1970 THE GROUP BADFINGER RELEASED THE SINGLE ‘COME AND GET IT’. THE SONG WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED BY PAUL McCARTNEY AS A SOLO DEMO WHEN HE ARRIVED EARLY FOR AN ABBEY ROAD SESSION. SIR PAUL RECORDED THE LEAD VOCALS, ALL THE HARMONIES, AND PLAYED ALL THE INSTRUMENTS. THE SONG WAS FINISHED IN AN HOUR. McCARTNEY WAS CONTRACTED TO SUPPLY MUSIC FOR THE MOVIE ‘THE MAGIC CHRISTIAN’. HE OFFERED THIS SONG TO BADFINGER WITH THE CARROT HE WOULD PRODUCE IT AND 2 OTHER OF THE BAND’S SONGS FOR THE SOUNDTRACK.
