Has anyone heard it yet? Three CDs -- a stereo version, a mono version, and outtakes/demos

I'm starting with the mono album, I'm only on track 2 so far, the overall sound is superb... Maurice's Rickenbacker is very rich, clear, and deep sounding.

A wonderful album from a group I never really cared for. Beautiful melodies and lush string arrangements. I still have the original LP with the velvet cover. Nice to see someone here knows of it.

There's an alternate mix of "Never Say Never Again" that features a very nice fuzz guitar part throughout, and it actually sounds like it's a Fender Bass VI being used in the baritone role.

Actually, everything on the bonus disc sounds great, they mixed the demos to make them sound very good, it's all extrememly listenable.

I listened to thin on Spotify a while back. It's completely loopy.
Good though!

Yep, Maurice Gibb.... a very under-rated bass player.
