Bee Gees OZ Reissue LP Bee Gees 1st VG+ ’74 Calendar L15086 Psyche Baroque Pop
OZ Reissue LP released in 1974 on Calendar Records. Cat: L15086.
The debut international long-player by the Bee Gees may shock anyone who only remembers them for their mid- to late-'70s disco mega-hits, or their quirky early-'70s romantic balladry. Up until 1966, they'd shown a penchant for melodic songs and rich, high harmonies, in the process becoming Australia's answer to the Everly Brothers. When the Bee Gees arrived in London late in 1966, however, they proved quick studies in absorbing and assimilating the progressive pop and rock sounds around them. In one fell swoop, they became competitors with the likes of veteran rock bands such as the Hollies and the Tremeloes, and this long-player, Bee Gees' 1st, is more of a rock album than the group usually got credit for generating. Parts of it do sound very much like the Beatles circa Revolver, but there was far more to their sound than that. The three hits off of Bee Gees' 1st, "To Love Somebody," "New York Mining Disaster 1941," and "Holiday," were gorgeous but relatively somber, thus giving Bee Gees' 1st a melancholy cast, but much of the rest is relatively upbeat psychedelic pop.
Tracks : Turn of the century/ Holiday/ Red chair, fade away/ One minute woman/ In my own time/ Every christian lionhearted man will show you/ Craise Finton Kirk royal academy of arts/ New York mining disaster 1941/ Cucumber castle/ To love somebody/ Close my eyes/ I can’t see nobody/ Please read me/ Close another door.
