Bee Gees - 1st (Remaster)

To my knowledge we never had an Australian recording. So here's the first one and it don't will be the last.
1st is the debut album by the Bee Gees, released in July 1967. Contrary to the group's later disco-oriented releases, 1st was a psychedelic rock album with some folk aspects. The album cover was designed by no other than Klaus Voorman who had previously done the cover for the Beatles Revolver album. Klaus is a German bassist who played sessions with Beatles members and the likes. A really nice guy, I know him myself. This remaster from 2006, reissues both stereo and mono mixes on one disc and a bonus disc of unreleased songs and alternate takes. Bee Gees 1st peaked at #7 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart.

I thought I had all of the Bee Gees' music, but this is an album I didn't even know existed! Great job, and thanks for making me aware of it!
