Here are the first two single that the Bee Gees release internationally in April and June 1967. Now they had had around a dozen other singles release in Australia; but the two above with their B-side: "I can't see no body" (3:45) and "close another door" (3: 29) (excellent songs with Robin Gibb leads) . Now all of these songs are of different music styles; for example, to love some body is a classic soul song that was written with the intention of Otis Reading doing it-- but it was not to be as he died just before it was to be done, so the brother did their own record.
All of these 4 songs would later be tracks on their forth-coming album "first" which we will consider soon enough. Now one thing that can be said of all these songs is that no matter how complex or non-complex they are; they truly display the Brothers song writing abilities as well as their singing ability as solo vocal as well as their fantastic harmonies.
This begin a great carrer and a great collection of songs that would span their careers.
Cucumber castle-- not the song by this same title from their first album-- but their 7th and final Album before the band final split in 1970 for most of the year (this album was written in 1969 however). And knowing that Robin had already left in mid '69'. Now let us consider the track listing for a moment: A 1 IF ONLY I HAD MY MIND ON SOMETHING ELSE A 2 I O I O A 3 THEN YOU LEFT ME A 4 THE LORD A 5 I WAS THE CHILD A 6 I LAY DOWN AND DIE B 1 SWEETHEART B 2 BURY ME DOWN BY THE RIVER B 3 MY THING B 4 THE CHANCE OF LOVE B 5 TURNING TIDE B 6 DON’T FORGET TO REMEMBER The most important factor concerning this album is that it show cased a love towards a style of music which...
Brilliant from Birth: Released in 1998, this is a compilation album which covers the Australian days, from 1963-66 which contains songs from their first two albums "sing and play" and "spicks and specks" these albums contain 26 songs; 14 on the first and 12 on the later. However, the thing that makes this compilation stand out is that contains another 12 songs which were meant to be their 3rd Australian album but was put aside because they seeked to try their best to crack the international scene; and cracked it they most certainly did. Now the most important point that this collection of songs provides us is the rear in sight into seeing group develop both as singers which would be more profound in years to come; but here we see the seed being planted. And more to the point of them as writers and composer of all the songs from these original albums. While it is safe to say that in later works several songs will be standards and be singled out b...
Life in a tin can/ a kick in the head sessions: Now granted the above picture is not exactly the one from either of these albums; nonetheless, it serves the purpose of this post. The goal that I have in mind is to consider the songs which would form the basis of these two albums from 1972-1973. let us take note of the tracks in question-- album no 1 (their 12th) life in a tin can which had the following songs: A 1 SAW A NEW MORNING A 2 I DON’T WANNA BE THE ONE A 3 SOUTH DAKOTA MORNING A 4 LIVING IN CHICAGO B 1 WHILE I PLAY B 2 MY LIFE HAS BEEN A SONG B 3 COME HOME JOHNNY BRIDE B 4 METHOD TO MY MADNESS Album no. 2 (their 13th) a kick in the head which had the following songs: A 1 ELISA A 2 WOULDN’T I BE SOMEONE A 3 A LONELY VIOLIN A 4 LOSERS AND LOVERS A 5 HOME AGAIN RIVERS B 1 HARRY’S GATE B 2 ROCKY L A B 3 CASTLES IN THE AIR B 4 WHERE IS YOUR SISTER B...
