from 45 single side A - 1969
Badge is a 1969 single by the British rock band Cream. The song was written by Eric Clapton and George Harrison and is included on the album Goodbye. Released as a 45 in March 1969 in the United States and in April in the United Kingdom, Badge peaked at number 18 in the United Kingdom and number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Badge was originally an untitled track. During the final stages of working on the Goodbye album, the original sheet music was used to produce the liner notes and track listing. The only legible word on the page was "bridge" (indicating the song's eponymous section). Harrison's handwriting, however, caused Clapton to read "badge" and the song's title was born. Harrison recalls a slightly different version: "I helped Eric write Badge, you know. We each had to come up with a song for that Cream album Goodbye, and Eric hadn't written his yet. We were working side by side and I was writing the lyrics and I got to the middle section and I wrote "Bridge". Eric read it wrong and laughed and said, "What's BADGE?" Then Ringo [Starr] came in completely drunk and gave us the line about the swans in the park." In the US, Atco Records released the first copies of Goodbye and the Badge single with Eric Clapton crediting the song only. Atco later corrected the credits in 1969 when they released the compilation album Best of Cream, which correctly credited Clapton and George Harrison as the song's co-writers. The UK single of Badge released by Polydor Records is also credited to Clapton & Harrison.
