Interesting outtakes:

I've got to learn:
 

 And also this one: 





These two incomplete songs from the first international Album by the Brothers Gibb (Bee Gees)  stand to showcase the genius song-writing abilities they possessed.  The year was 1967 and as we have seen from the Australian recording of their work; they were not afraid to experiment with different sounds which could be said to sound  a little wacky but still showing their humour. This also demonstrates how they could write songs for different genres of music something that they would return to again and again. one can think of there song To love somebody which is a soul song. 

Now these two songs show case the singing abilities of both Barry and Robin (take the lead on one song each).  These writing and recording session must have been very interesting for other witness. Let me just put up the lyrics of the first one:

There's an old old story about a man I know, hated mash potato and ate everything real slow, 
His got a hole in his pocket and hole in his head; never ever listened to a word he said
I've got to learn x3

While this may not seem profound, and I admit. It does show just how poetic they were-- and this carried on through their lives.  And I do believe this to be one of those unique Robin Gibb lyrics of the time. But this shows why the Alum that it associated with was just a magnificent one to begin with in kicking off their career-- and legacy.
