Not, not - no, I can't say it - not the ones






























from the 70's.

onenitealone said:

Yes, Alice.

No mentions of bonus tracks?

BoraBora said:

Yeah Cloudy....what's the deal? Will there be any bonus tracks?

onenitealone said:

The early 70s albums are quite patchy, although there are at least two or three gems on all of them, imo. I quite like Mr. Natural, I think it was their strongest effort since Odessa in '69. It's interesting 'cos you can hear them moving towards the R&B sound that they perfected on the follow up while at the same time still catering to the fans of their earlier sound.

I'm quite looking forward to a remasterd edition of Odessa. Marley Purt Drive, Melody Fair and Lamplight are overlooked gems.

Funnily enough I got a note from Pandurito asking the same thing.

My reponse was:

Yeah, that was the news I'd heard as well.

Who knows, maybe the additional track information hasn't been issued yet.
Or perhaps they decided against it altogether.

Maybe there'll be an album or a box set of outtakes. It seems that even the B sides haven't been added to the remasters, so there could be a plan to compile all that stuff seperately. I hope so anyway, as there's even a few A sides that weren't on the studio albums and I'd hate it if they weren't also remastered.

Guess we'll have to wait and see, innit.

It's bugging me now but I can't think which song it is that I love off 'Odessa'. It's a ballad, lots of strings, quite melancholy, very beautiful.

onenitealone said:

Most likely Melody Fair.

Cloudbuster said:

Yeah
And funnily enough the note was sent BEFORE this whole thread started

Other than the Saturday Night Fever Sdtk and I think it's called Still Waters from the 80's, I don't own any others. I've always bought the Greatest Hits and variations of those. Is that the one that has "Boogie Child"? Then that's the one that I want.

I'd love to get this again! This album, and Spirits Having Flown were my two favorites Bee Gees albums!

On Children Of The World, my favorites tunes were:


You Should Be Dancing

Love So Right

Lovers

You Stepped Into My Life

Children Of The World




...

My cut is "You Stepped Into My Life"

Melba Moore did a nice job on covering that song back in 1978.

DavidEye said:

I would say yeah and I'm getting ready to run a thread on the song that makes it their best!

LOL! OK B.G..Go to work!! Can't wait to see this one!

Yes,this is the album that features the funky "Boogie Child".Released in 1976,this album also contains the major hits "You Should Be Dancing" and "Love So Right".Two songs from this album were successfully covered by other artists:

"Love Me" covered by Yvonne Elliman
"You Stepped Into My Life" covered by Melba Moore

Other noteworthy tracks include "Subway" and the title track,which is a real gem.

Do it!

You can't beat their 70's output.

DavidEye said:

Ain't a bad song on it.

I miss the old RSO vinyl by the B.Gs

funkpill said:

I have that CD too.If you love their 70s work,that compilation is a must-have.It focuses exclusively on their disco/R&B period.I also have their 4-CD box set "Tales From the Brothers Gibb".

dammme said:

dontcha miss the days of 45 singles? I used to take my allowance and buy several of them at one time.

The first fruit of the Bee Gees' recent deal with Rhino will emerge on June 13, when the label issues remastered versions of six of the group's albums. The titles are
1976's "Children of the World,"
1979's "Spirits Having Flown,"
1993's "Size Isn't Everything,"
1997's "Still Waters,"
1998's live album "One Night Only" and
2001's "This Is Where I Came In."

No bonus tracks are featured on these reissues , but it is understood Rhino is planning to eventually release expanded editions of select Bee Gees albums with rare and unreleased material.
