The Vault: The Bee Gees, Before They Got Really High
You’ve no doubt already included 186 lbs. worth of box sets on your holiday wish-lists, but after listening to Bee Gees: The Studio Albums 1967-1968 non-stop over the holidays, we think you should squeeze in one more. Focusing on the Gibbs’ brothers pre-disco heyday, the six Studio discs veer from hippie-dippy psychedelia to wistful piano balladry to straight-up Brit-pop–and, as you can probably guess, there’s no shortage of stacked harmonies. Three stereo tracks from Horizontal are below, including “Massachusetts,” an Idolator karaoke-club favorite.
UPDATE: We got RIAA’d on the MP3s–the oldest tracks, so far, to result in a cease-and-desist letter landing on the Idolator flophouse’s doorstep. Alas.
