Also entitled "The Name Of The Game" on some recordings, including CD anthologies. This track is my favorite from the Badfinger album, Straight Up, which I own on vinyl
(purchased in 1972) and on CD. I regard Straight Up to be among those most perfect LPs that were released in 1971 and 1972. "Name Of The Game" was to be released as a single, but circumstances left it as a very popular FM radio hit. It is one of the saddest songs I know.
