His name might be largely forgotten now, yet at least one song which Jimmy Campbell penned and voiced for THE 23RD TURNOFF, a Liverpool band he used to front – before that they were called THE PANTHERS, and supported THE BEATLES at The Cavern in 1962 under this moniker, and THE KIRKBYS – has remained a firm favorite with psychedelia aficionados. However, this single, “Michael Angelo” from 1967, was a thing of the past by 1970, when Jimmy issued his sophomore solo effort, “Half Baked”: a richly orchestrated album, put out by Vertigo and featuring BADFINGER’s own Joey Molland. It would become a hidden treasure for many – and now it’s being out again, remastered and expaxded with previously unreleased material.
