Bee Gees: "Spirits Having Flown"

Released in 1979,

this was the Bee Gees fifteenth (15th) studio LP,

their first after the mega-sensation

of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Just admit it.

You danced to their music

more than once,

and not just all alone

in your bedroom, either.

in the late 1970s.

All the great songs from "Saturday Night Fever,"

plus "Jive Talkin'"

"Nights On Broadway"

"How Deep Is Your Love"

Admit it.

You love it.

Soundtrack: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

Released in 1978 before the ill-fated film was released, the covers of Beatles tunes on this double LP ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous.  Well, in all fairness, the most "ridiculous" cover was Steve Martin's talking parody of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," but let's face it, even the original was a bit of an odd track.

So, the movie was not all that great, but the soundtrack (and the movie, too, of course) featured headliners The BeeGees and Peter Frampton, supported by the likes of Aerosmith; Earth, Wind and Fire; Billy Preston, Alice Cooper, and George Burns.  My personal favorite?  EWF's take on "Got to Get You Into My Life," but I also truly dig Aerosmith's "Come Together" and Billy Preston's "Get Back."

A collector in New York took this one off my hands.

BeeGees: "Main Course"

OK. I guess one is either a BeeGees fan or not, but I suspect there are more than a few fans out there who just don't confess it publicly. This LP brought us "Jive Talkin'" and "Nights on Broadway" - serious precursors to the whole "Saturday Night Fever" phenom. And for good measure the album art is pretty durn fabulous deco.

This LP found a home in Tennessee.
