Comments and Reviews


Jasper 21st Sep 2015		Actually Neil you are echoing my thoughts Wine and Women would have been a worthwhile addition here - actually Cherry Red, Wine and Women and I Was A Leader showed up on Best Of The Bee Gees Vol.2 Australian release as apposed to Best Of Bee Gees Vol.2 on the later overseas versions. https://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/sel934548



Record Collector 21st Sep 2015		hi neil I think the blue Columbia (columber through EMI) must been a one off as you said it must be a debut for that design from 1970 right up to the late 1980's and as for summit records I have a few of them slim Whitman and Reg Lindsey among others if I go to my local op shop again if I see a few summit records ill get some to add to my summit collection



Neil Forbes 21st Sep 2015		@Jasper, Hi! I was wondering if anyone else was about on this site.. hate to be alone here, my typing echoing through empty internet catacombs...... There are some other good Bee Gees tracks that have turned up on various LPs, only one of them made this set, I Was A Lover A Leader Of Men, Others are Wine & Women and Cherry Red, all three are from about 1965.



Jasper 21st Sep 2015		No Neil definitely not me - actually I didn't even buy the version that I uploaded here, it was originally my sister's copy. Really not a great track list more just historical interest. Spicks and Specks off course the stand out.



Neil Forbes 21st Sep 2015		@Jasper, was it you who forked out that $58.70? Whoever it was, paid a tad too much, even for The Bee Gees' early works. @RC, that Blue Columbia label for 20 Explosive Hits, I can't recall seeing any other issue on Columbia using that label colour, must've been a one-off!



Jasper 18th Sep 2015		Universal record club version "Bee Gees Revisited" sold on ebay for $58.70. I also have both versions of our kinda country - original cover was much classier.



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		The Columbia orange label interesting if you look at 20 explosive hits has q blue background



Neil Forbes 18th Sep 2015		Yep, thought so. I have a cassette issue which uses the original artwork - Columbia TC-SPR-1.



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		Yes they did



Neil Forbes 18th Sep 2015		I think the 1980s Axis issue used the artwork from the mid-70s Drum/Columbia reissue. Landscape Image?



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		Here is something interesting the album was reissued in the mid 1980's on axis records with a different cover



Neil Forbes 18th Sep 2015		@RC, you have the first issue(circa 1967 or 1968) then.



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		The original red label



Neil Forbes 18th Sep 2015		Which cover, RC? The original(brown with a hat sitting on what looks to be a sawhorse) or the newer "Drum" issue(landscape image). Cat.#'s the same, as is the label, Columbia SPR-1 first issued about 1967 or 1968. Red label early design for first issue, second issue, mid-1970s, unified label design(think colour was orange).



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		Our kinda country yep got that album



Neil Forbes 18th Sep 2015		Could've been any colour! EMI would "rehash" an album that had previously been issued and stick it out as a Drum release but do nothing more than add the Drum logo to the original cover artwork(occasionally they'll redesign the cover, as in Neil Diamond's "Shilo" or "Our Kinda Country"[various artists] but the original catalogue number still applied.)



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		The drum series isn't that where the parlophone label on a darkish green label ?



Neil Forbes 18th Sep 2015		@RC, Summit weren't the only ones to do that. EMI did it with their MFP, then Axis(after MFP went independent of EMI for Australia/NZ) and other albums in their budget "Drum" series(issued on regular labels, Columbia, HMV, Parlophone, Stateside etc., but carrying a Drum logo on the cover), as well as Festival with their Calendar and Horizon output. They's all gone an' done it, y'all!



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		These are the sort of albums you see if you go in to Coles (or Coles-New World back in the 1970's) they used to be in a rack as you walk into the entrance



Neil Forbes 18th Sep 2015		@RC, two different albums thrown together to make a double? Yeah, Summit would do something similar, and have done so, particularly with Herb Alpert & TJB albums, but sometimes they get caught out when a track on an album intended as the first of a 2LP set, shows up again on what was intended as the second LP in that set. RC, If you have any Summit doubles, have a look through them, you might find that situation turning up on one or two(or more) of them.



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		This album is worth $7.00 on eBay



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		Example I have a double album called the daddy cool story on the MFP label the green oval one you may come across in fact it's made up of two albums daddy who?....daddy cool and the other sex,dope and rock and roll



Neil Forbes 18th Sep 2015		This album has pulled together a lot of very early Bee Gees recordings up to and including Spicks & Specks. Apart from Universal Record Club and Summit issuing this, I suspect Festival may have also issued it on either of their budget labels, Calendar(SR66-series) or Horizon(SH66-series).



Neil Forbes 18th Sep 2015		Yep, Summit(probably no longer in existence) used to do quite a lot of "recycling" of old albums. Sometimes they'd take the A-side of one album, add the B-side of another different album by the same artist or group, and voila! a new album emerges. Or, they simply reissue the original A-B coupling under a different title, Pickwick did similar, as did MFP.



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		The label usually recycle these records issue them under different title



Jasper 18th Sep 2015		Looking through my old scrapbook cuttings a couple of interesting tidbits - this album was also released in Australia by the Universal Record Club cat no. U977 (mono) SU977 (stereo) same track list different cover design. "Spicks and Specks" was the Bee Gees 11th single and their first hit. Such was the luck of the group that it became a hit while they were on a ship to England . They couldn't get a hit while on Australian soil.
