The Bee Gees - The 1st Horizontal Idea (1968)

I love the Bee Gees' early work, and their first three UK albums are among the best pop records of the late 60's. Like a lot of bands of this era they tended to put new songs on the B-sides of their singles and EP's, and the Bee Gees in particular also recorded a lot of completely unused songs which were stored in the vault. It was therefore relatively easy to compile this collection of non-album tracks just from the period 1967-1968, which covered their first thee albums - '1st', 'Idea', and 'Horizontal' (you can now see where the title came from). I added in the hit single 'Words', as this also never appeared on an album until their hits collections.
