"Warm Ride" by the Bee Gees---where did this song come from?

On the newly remastered 'Bee Gees Greatest' compilation,there is a previously unreleased song called "Warm Ride"...

http://www.youtube.com/wa...VgJBJHw2p8


Apparently,the liner notes contain no information about when this song was recorded and for what album.I think it sounds like it's from the 'Children Of The World' era,1976.I like it alot music Does anyone know the story behind it?

It was recorded at the same time as the Fever material, spring/summer '77.

All the Fever songs were recorded for the studio album that was to follow Children Of The World until requests for the movie came in.
Warm Ride was probably intended for that album also.

Yeah,I heard about the album they started in early 1977 before being asked to contribute to the SNF soundtrack.Would love to hear any other demos/tracks from that album.

WOW! I always wondered how far they got with that album.Looks like they completed the entire thing.I wonder why the recently released 'SNF' soundtrack doesn't include the outtakes?

I heard that "Stayin Alive" was originally titled "Saturday Night".

No idea. Hopefully some of them will turn up on a bonus disc for one of the remastered mid to late 70s albums.

I always disliked the Bee Gees' own version of "If I Can't Have You" boxed

It pales in comparison to the excellent version by Yvonne Elliman.The producer (Freddie Perren) did an excellent job.

It's not dreadful, I like the piano in it. It's a song that I think was more suitable for Robin's voice.

I think it works better being sung by a female.In the movie,it was sorta like Annette's theme song lol She wanted Tony so bad but he didn't love her.

'Warm Ride' was submitted to Roger Daltrey for one of his solo albums.
