+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| Originally released on LP in 1979, this is a digitally re-mastered |
| re-issue of 'Spirits Having Flown' by the brothers Barry, Maurice, and |
| Robin Gibb. |
| |
| Spirits Having Flown is regarded today as something of a letdown, |
| representing the tail-end of the Bee Gees' period of greatest success, |
| perhaps because it preceded a two-year layoff that, in turn, heralded a |
| decline in their fortunes. At the time, however, no one heard anything |
| less than what they expected ù beautiful slow dance numbers ("Too Much |
| Heaven," "Love You Inside Out"), achingly gorgeous romantic numbers |
| ("Reaching Out"), soaring ballads ("Spirits (Having Flown)"), and |
| pounding dance-rock numbers ("Tragedy"). If a few songs on the LP's |
| second side, like "Stop (Think Again)" or "Search, Find," weren't quite |
| up to that high standard, even the latter song displayed dazzling |
| interwoven vocals on the choruses (which were pretty infectious) that |
| made the trip worthwhile. The record showcased the usual superb singing, |
| and featured the most delicate and ambitious production and arrangements |
| in their history. It may have lacked the spirit of freedom and |
| experimentation found on Main Course or Children of the World, but in |
| its place was a boldness that manifested itself not only in the singing, |
| but also the most intricate and ambitious production and arrangements of |
| the group's entire history. This was also the first Bee Gees album to |
| get serious airplay on black radio stations, a major breakthrough for |
| the trio and one of the last bits of unfinished business in the group's |
| move into soul music, which also likely helped ù along with three |
| chart-topping singles, the major tour that followed, and the network |
| television special in the wake of the tour ù in propelling Spirits |
| Having Flown to 35 million sales. |
