i love run of the mill too, very dylanesque.
this poll solidified my belief that ATMP is the strongest single post-Beatles release, especially if you lop off the Apple Jam
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Monday, 4 June 2018 17:56 (six years ago) link
"Look at Me" is a White Album/India leftover - anyone know if there's a demo from '68 floating around? those wonderful Esher demos have "Junk" and "Child of Nature" and "Not Guilty," though iirc no George songs that ended up on ATMP (although it does have "Circles," which I know he recorded later. nice little song).

Hi dere Beatle crew, “Run of the Mill” is my biggest *too low* so far. Had it at #6.

I’m guessing Crackerbox that low means little hope for This Song/Love Comes to Everyone/If You Believe/Faster/All Those Years Ago/Dream Away from you maniacs?

i can't stand "beautiful boy" but i assume it's some lingering trauma from mr. holland's opus
funny contrast there, both released very close to each other
it's not, it's tied

Todd Rundgren claims he rescued the shit out of “Day After Day” despite only getting an engineering credit on it. But it does have the signature George slide guitars so...

yeah, George added a lot beyond the solo:
During their peak, Badfinger enjoyed a fabulous working relationship in the studio with The Beatles’ George Harrison. George took on a ‘big brother’ role of sorts with the band, especially in the studio during the recording of the Straight Up album, including the decision to shelve the first set of tapes from the recording sessions.
“George thought we sounded too much like a ‘beat’ group, and thought we could do better”, says guitarist Joey Molland. “He was really hands-on with the arrangements of songs like ‘Name Of The Game’ and ‘Suitcase’, including having me change the lyrics from “pusher, pusher” to “butcher, butcher”…because in those days, the radio wouldn’t have played anything with a even a slightly negative meaning related to drugs and the like.”

yeah, George added a lot beyond the solo
According to the Badfinger biography, Without You, George bailed in the middle of the album sessions, Rundgren added overdubs to "Day After Day" (and the other songs Harrison worked on) and also mixed the whole album but got no credit for the songs Harrison worked on. Reading between the lines, it doesn't take much of a leap to believe that George got the sole producer's credit on that song because it was chosen as the lead single by their label. Which was, you know, Apple.
