THE DODGERS - LOVE ON THE REBOUND (1978)
Bob Jackson was hired by Badfinger in August 1974, the first
time he had joined an established rock act. Although originally secured
as a replacement for one of its members, Pete Ham, Jackson was retained
as an additional member when Ham withdrew his resignation. Badfinger
recorded the album Head First
for Warner Brothers in December. Due to legal entanglements and
mismanagement, Head First was unreleased at the time. Jackson was
finally able to release the recordings on CD in 2000. Badfinger
disbanded following Ham's suicide in 1975. Jackson remained in contact
with Badfinger's bassist Tom Evans, and the two joined The Dodgers in 1975. The group started to record their debut album and a first single of this
line-up was released in early 1977. In April the group's management
decided that Tom Evans did not fit to the group's image and therefore he
was asked to leave. Roger Lomas was hired to be the new member of the
Dodgers. With the new group member on board all bass parts and vocals
that had been recorded by Tom Evans were erased and newly recorded.
In 1978 two more singles and the debut album of the group were
released., The same year Jackson was released by the band due to
management disagreements. Jackson was hired by The Searchers in 1979,
contributing to the group's tours and two subsequent album releases, The Searchers (1979) and Play For Today
(1980). Jackson and Tom Evans reteamed in 1982 and formed a new version
of Badfinger, but after Tom Evans committed suicide in 1983, it was the
end of Jackson's Badfinger. He later teamed with Molland and Mike
Gibbins for a Badfinger outing in 1984.

Thanks Angelo
I LOVE this album. Thank you.
It's amazing the album got out in the first place with all of the inner and management turmoil. Great album though.
Thanks a lot Angelo. Much appreciated
Great job with the artwork Angelo!
Thank you so much! So glad to discover you are back! Had back surgery two months ago and rarely burn CD-R's anymore. Maybe I'll feel more like sitting back in my studio again soon and hearing music through my stereo.
Music sounds pretty good through the PC after my son gave me a computer speaker set-up he didn't want anymore. The control 'knob' is a bit finicky.
Hope you are doing better! Made my day!
