Album

Odessa is the sixth studio album by the Bee Gees, originally released on 30 March 1969. Regarded as the most significant of the group's Sixties albums, it was released as a double vinyl record, initially in an opulent red flocked cover with gold lettering. An ambitious project, originally intended as a concept album on the loss of a fictional ship in 1899, it created tension and disagreements in the band regarding the album's direction finally, a dispute over which song to release as a single led to.

My older sister buying the Bee Gees 45's was my introduction to this amazing and criminally marginalized band. Many highlights here, Robin's lead vocals on Odessa, Black Diamond and Lamplight. Barry sounds amazing on Melody Fair. Sumptuous melodies abound, with plenty of grand piano and orchestral lushness. Rhino's 3xCD reissue of the Bee Gees' ornate and ambitious 1969 album includes mono and stereo mixes and an extra disc of demos and previously unreleased tracks. Less than two years after leaving Australia and scoring their first Anglo-American hit, New York Mining Disaster 1941, the Bee Gees had matured to the point where they they had the confidence to write neo-classical instrumentals with titles like Seven Seas Symphony and With All Nations International Anthem. Odessa is a studio album by the Bee Gees, released in 1969. It is their sixth album, the group's fourth album released internationally, and their first released as a double LP. Odessa is noted in Robert Dimery's book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Odessa would be the final album for the band's original incarnation. Guitarist Vince Melouney would pursue other interests, and Robin Gibb would leave the band over personal and artistic differences with brother Barry Gibb. Barry and Maurice would continue to record with drummer Colin Petersen as the Bee Gees, but disintegra. On the phone from his Florida home, Barry Gibb is racking his brain. I think Odessa was an attempt to do a rock opera, he offers. It sort of turned itself into a bit of a mish mash, but our intentions were honourable. I think we wanted to do something that could be put on stage. There was supposed to be a thematic thing going on, he adds, but it just kind of wandered off into the distance. The eldest Bee Gee rarely speaks to the press these days: a prickly reputation precedes him. Bee Gees remarkable concept album Odessa was sometimes overlooked in the wake of the reinvention of big brother Barry and twins Robin and Maurice Gibb as the kings of disco. However, this wildly ambitious double-album has undergone something of a critical re-evaluation since its original release on 30 March 1969. Robert Stigwood, the man who helped Bee Gees become such a cultural phenomenon in the 70s, was the producer on the album and maintained that the opening track Odessa City On The Black Sea which had been written by the three brothers in 1968 and tells the story of the survivor of a fictitious British ship called Veronica, floating on an iceberg
