I managed myself to get copies of 'No Dice' and 'Straight Up'.
They're definitely one of those bands that you probably don't know off hand by name, but would know a tune if you heard one. They're often pitted as a Beatles rip off band - even though they hail from Wales, rather than Liverpool. Additionally, McCartney produced some of their work. So I suppose that overlapping is acceptable in this case.
Even though the band wasn't that incredible. I can give them credit for solid hits, great '70s hair and fabulous album artwork.
I am really impressed by anyone my age who knows this band.

"Come and Get It" (Badfinger, this version is much better!):
"Come and Get It" (Paul McCartney, who composed the song):
"I Can't Live" is a classic for that longing chorus:
