Notes

Arranged, conducted and produced by Bill Shepherd.

The Robert Stigwood Orchestra was, as stated on the back cover, an ad hoc group of musicians assembled to make this album. Bill Shepherd arranged, conducted, and produced it, taking just three days to record, December 5, 8, and 13, 1967. Robin wrote in his sleeve notes that ‘a life-long ambition has been fulfilled to hear our music played by a full orchestra’. Some of the songs had not been released yet when Bill recorded these versions, and this was the first version of ‘Swan Song’ to be released.
The Bee Gees do not sing or play on the sessions. This album is listed here because of Bill Shepherd’s close association with them. The session tapes are labelled ‘Bee Gees’.

Order of tracks on the released album:

A1 Massachusetts, A2 Birdie Told Me, A3 Words, A4 To Love Somebody, A5 Sinking Ships.

B1 N.Y. Mining Disaster, B2 I Can’t See Nobody, B3 Holiday, B4 World, B5 Swan Song.


This acetate has "End of Gilbert Green" which was not released by the Bee Gees and so was not included in the released album, also the tracks are not in the same order as the released record.

This extract from http://www.columbia.edu/~brennan/beegees/67.html
The first item is ‘Gilbert Green’ including the instrumental finale copyright separately as ‘The End of Gilbert Green’, making the song into quite an epic. With four verses of choice Robin lyrics and a good finish, it could have made an excellent closer for the LP, and an excellent single. The Bill Shepherd orchestration that would have been the finishing touch is lacking on the master tape, so not heard on The Studio Albums 1967-1968, but an arrangement was written and it can be heard on a bootlegged live performance from 1968. During the ending Maurice sings solo some of what would become the instrumental melody. Gerry Marsden’s version was recorded June 27 with Bill Shepherd.
