Bee Gees
Bee Gees 1st
(Polydor, 1967)
The Brothers Gibb kick-start their post-Technicolor/pre-glitter pop parade...
British-born brothers, Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb, left their Australian home in January 1967. Before the year’s end, the teenage trio found themselves swapping records and sharing a smoke with The Stones, The Who and The Beatles. Their rapid rise through the ranks was due in no small part to the flawless harmonies and whimsical pop vignettes that made up their UK debut. If you’re unaware of the Bee Gees’ pre-disco delights (and there are many) then this is a great place to start. Stax-grooves sit alongside orchestral pop gems; low-fi acoustic rambles switch to psychedelic timepieces – each track held together by three voices that were always meant to occupy the same space. When it comes to ‘60s pop treasures, 1st is too rarely disinterred. Luckily, the currently available Rhino reissue contains a series of unreleased session tracks and early, alternate recordings that (fingers crossed) should ensure this misstep isn’t made again.
