Head First is the tenth and final studio album by British rock band Badfinger, released on 14 November 2000. It was recorded over 25 years earlier at the Beatles' Apple Studios in London, but was not released at the time. Originally intended to be Badfinger's third LP under its six-album contract with Warner Bros. Records, the recordings were shelved when legal difficulties erupted between the band and the label.
The version that was finally released in 2000 was a rough mix of the album made in December 1974 by Phil McDonald, one of the recording engineers at Apple Studios. Head First was released again on 13 December 2024, featuring a remix from the rediscovered master tapes by surviving member Bob Jackson and musician Andy Nixon.
