This is one of my all time Bee Gees albums and I only heard it for the first time last year. I think the main reason for the failure of this album has something to do with the fact that theyu had lost their target audience. When every band starts out they aim their music at a certain market. The Bee Gees had a very successful late 60's/ early 70's period where as Barry put it "all our fans wanted were ballads". and they had got tired of that, so they had to build on their new found style which they did slowly with Main Course, Children Of The World and Saturday Night Fever. The album would have been a lot more successful had one of the more bands more associated with that kinbd of music released it. I actually prfer this album to Spirits Having Flown, it's fab!!
