Bee Gees 1st by The Bee Gees

Hello Friends! Today we're completing our look at the Bee Gees' catalog* here on the show, with their first international release Bee Gees 1st from 1967. Issued originally in both mono and stereo mixes, I was shocked at how much stronger the stereo mix here was than the rather poor showing on Horizontal, generally being comparable to the mono, with a couple of exceptions. But what are these exceptions, and what makes some of the stereo mixes stand out above their mono mixes? Well send those vocals to the echo chamber and turn up those orchestration overdubs, as we head down to Cucumber Castle for the Turn of the Century.

Happy Listening,

Frederick

*Remember, non-LP tracks such as 'Words' & 'I've Gotta Get a Message to You' can be found on Mixology on 45 over at the Patreon
