The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs is the debut studio album by the English pop band the Bee Gees.
 (1967's "Bee Gees' 1st" was the "international" debut album).
 Released under the artist title "Barry Gibb & the Bee Gee's" "[sic]", it was released in November 1965 on the Australian Leedon label.
 It is a compilation of most of the Gibb brothers' singles that had been released over the previous three years in Australia, which accounts for the many different styles of music on it.
Cucumber Castle is the seventh studio album by the Bee Gees, released in April 1970.
 It was produced by Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb, and Robert Stigwood.
 It consists of songs from their television special of the same name, which was named after a song on their 1967 album "Bee Gees' 1st".
 "Cucumber Castle" was the only Bee Gees album not to feature any recorded contributions from Robin Gibb, as he had left the group before the album was recorded.
 (He did receive co-composer credit on one track, which was written before his departure.)
Robin Hugh Gibb (22 December 1949 – 20 May 2012) was a singer, songwriter and record producer, who gained worldwide fame as a member of the pop group the Bee Gees, with his brothers Barry and Maurice Gibb, his fraternal twin.
 Robin Gibb also had his own successful solo career.
The Ultimate Bee Gees is a compilation album released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Bee Gees.
 Although the group did not start recording until 1963 on Festival Records in Australia, they began calling themselves the "Bee Gees" in 1959 after several name changes such as "Wee Johnny Hayes and the Bluecats", "The Rattlesnakes" and "BG's".
 Each disc is themed with the first containing more upbeat songs, called "A Night Out", and the second containing slower songs and ballads, called "A Night In", though the cover art does not distinguish this theme.
 Liner notes were written by Sir Tim Rice.
 This also marks the return of the 1970s era logo on an official Bee Gees release, which was last used on the Bee Gees' 1983 single "Someone Belonging to Someone".
"I Want Home" is a song by the English rock band Bee Gees, written by Barry Gibb and released as a single in Australia in early 1966, backed with "Cherry Red".
 Their last single on Leedon had not been a hit, so the credit "Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees" used on the last several discs now reverted to simply "Bee Gees".
 Neither song appeared on any Bee Gees album until the 1967 compilation album, "Turn Around, Look At Us", but both were featured on "Brilliant From Birth" the 1998 anthology of the group's Australian recordings.
"Stayin' Alive" is a disco song by the Bee Gees from the "Saturday Night Fever" motion picture soundtrack.
 The song was written by the Bee Gees members (Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb) and produced by the Bee Gees, Albhy Galuten, and Karl Richardson.
 It was released on 13 December 1977 as the second single from the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.
 It is one of their signature songs.
 In 2004, "Stayin' Alive" was placed at number 189 on the list of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
 In 2004, it ranked No. 9 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
 In a UK television poll on ITV in December 2011 it was voted fifth in "The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song".
A founder member of Amen Corner and its successor Fair Weather, Weaver replaced Rick Wakeman in Strawbs when he left to join Yes.
 Weaver was with the Strawbs during their most successful and critically acclaimed period where he played some notable mellotron and other keyboard sequences on their albums "Grave New World" and "Bursting at the Seams".
 He left Strawbs in 1973, and toured with Mott the Hoople in the US tour.
 Queen were their support act.
 He also appeared with the Streetwalkers and session work followed, including work with the Pet Shop Boys.
 He also played behind the Bee Gees at the initiation of his former Amen Corner colleague drummer Dennis Bryon, who had joined their backing band a year earlier during their successful 1975-79 period, taking in such highlights as "Jive Talkin'", "You Should Be Dancing" and the band's famous contributions on the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.
 The three-piece backing band of Weaver, Bryon and the perennial Bee Gees sideman, Alan Kendall, played on the Bee Gees' albums, "Main Course", "Children of the World", "Here at Last... Bee Gees... Live" and "Spirits Having Flown".
 Unusually, Weaver featured as a co-composer on "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away", made a hit by the group's younger brother Andy Gibb.
 Weaver also co-composed the songs for Jimmy Ruffin's 1980 album "Sunrise" with Robin Gibb as lyricist, including the hit single, "Hold On (To My Love)".
