In early 1967, Barry (20 years old), Maurice and Robin (17 year old twins) walked around London looking for a recording contract.
They brought with them a collection of songs recorded in Australia.
The Gibb brothers finally aligned with Robert Stigwood.
By the end of 1967, The Bee Gees had 3 big international hits ("NY Mining Disaster", "To love somebody" and "Holiday") and a best selling album.
What caught Robert Stigwood's fancy about the singing brothers?
It had to be those songs that the guys recorded in Australia.
A few years ago, a CD of early Bee Gees' tunes was released. It was the CD version of a couple of LPs released years before.
What's significant about these tunes? The answer is that you can hear the wonderful Gibb harmonies and songwriting skills.
