Bee Gees' 1st
''Bee Gees' 1st'' is the third studio album by the Bee Gees, released 14 July 1967 in the United Kingdom, and 9 August 1967 in the United States. Despite the album's title, it was not their first full-length recording; the first was ''The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs'' (1965). It was, however, their first album to be released 'internationally', as their first two LPs were only available in Australia and New Zealand. ''Bee Gees' 1st'' was the group's debut album for the UK Polydor label, and for the US Atco label.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bee Gees Discography )〕 ''Bee Gees 1st'' was released on 14 July 1967 in the UK. On 9 August it entered the UK charts, on that same day, the album was released in the US, and it entered the US charts in 26 August. After its release, the band became more self-sufficient, producing and mixing many of their own releases.〔
Reflecting the group's early style, ''Bee Gees' 1st'' was a psychedelic pop album. The album cover was designed by Klaus Voormann who had previously done the cover for ''Revolver'' by the Beatles. ''Bee Gees 1st'' peaked at No. 7 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart and at No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart. In 2006, Reprise Records (sister label to Atco under Warner Music Group) reissued the album with both stereo and mono mixes on one disc and a bonus disc of unreleased songs and alternate takes. (This 2-CD set on Reprise corrected the fluttering on the lead-off stereo track "Turn of the Century". The mono version never had this problem.)
==History==
Drummer Colin Petersen and lead guitarist Vince Melouney, both Australians, were hired to make the Bee Gees into a full band. Both played on the first English album and became official members of the group between its completion and release. Petersen had played with the Bee Gees at St. Clair studio in 1966 on the ''Spicks and Specks'' sessions and was officially added first, accounting for some early photos with him and not Melouney, such as the one later used on the cover of ''Best of Bee Gees''. Melouney had worked with the Gibbs in 1966 in Australia when he recorded his first solo single "Mystery Train" as the brothers provided backing vocals on the song. He had been lead guitarist in top Australian band, Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs, later led his own group The Vince Melouney Sect and had most recently been in Melbourne-based outfit The Blue Jays.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gibb Songs: 1967 )〕 Melouney, who had recently relocated to London heard that the Gibb brothers were in town and made contact. He was asked to join them, with Petersen, in the studio and after this album was completed, Melouney became the fifth official member of the band.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The two lives of Colin Petersen )〕
Most of the band's recording for the next five years took place at IBC Studios. Robert Stigwood had booked his artists into IBC for years, most recently Cream. The Who, Small Faces and Jimi Hendrix had also recently recorded there. IBC had a four-track recording facility, the standard in Britain at the time. The Bee Gees also recorded at various other studios during this first year in England.〔
