Bee Gees Main Course (Vinyl LP) * * *

Remastered from the Original Analogue LP Master Tapes at Capitol Studios by Kevin Bartley and Ian Sefchick!

Five remastered albums in the storied catalogue of the Bee Gees will be released on vinyl LP in 2020 courtesy of Capitol/UMe. In chronological order, they are 1969's Best Of Bee Gees, 1975's Main Course, the Children Of The World album of 1976, 1977's double live album Here At Last: Bee Gees Live, and 1979's Spirits Having Flown. All five albums in the collection have been remastered from the original analogue LP master tapes at the world-famous Capitol Studios by Kevin Bartley and Ian Sefchick.

Main Course, one of the most significant albums in the Bee Gees catalog, marked a new direction for the group, and in turn created the model for their output throughout the rest of the '70s by featuring a fresh, R&B-meets-pop sound. Recorded in Miami, FL, and produced by the legendary Arif Mardin, the album's infectious No. 1 hit, "Jive Talkin'," carries a rhythm inspired by the sound the group's car made on the 163rd Street Causeway Bridge as they drove to and from the recording sessions being held at the fabled Criteria Studios. The album's other hit singles include the dramatic "Nights On Broadway" and the always touching "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)."
