Andrew and Grant join me for the second part of our conversation about their book "Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1970s". We discuss the latter part of the decade, including the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack and the impact of the infamous 'D' word on the Gibbs' career and legacy. We also cover younger brother Andy's extraordinary rise to fame during this period, and ponder which 1970s Bee Gees album is the best.

"Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1970s" is the latest volume in a series of books covering the entire career of the Brothers Gibb and documenting every album and song. Two of the three authors, Andrew and Grant, return to the podcast for the first of a two-part chat about the the early part of that decade and how the Bee Gees found their mojo again after the acrimonious split of the late 1960s.

"Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1960s" is the first volume in a series of books covering the entire career of the Brothers Gibb and documenting every album and song. In this episode, I'm joined by authors Andrew Môn Hughes, Grant Walters and Mark Crohan (from the UK, United States and Australia respectively) for a chat about the book. We discuss the Australian years, the evolution of their sound and songwriting in the 1960s and some of the influential figures in their lives along the way.

The Bee Gees' 1981 album "Living Eyes" was far from a commercial success. Record company issues, lawsuits, personnel changes, studio tensions and the small matter of a disco backlash all played their part. But although it was ignored by radio stations and even dismissed by the Bee Gees themselves, it's now a fan favourite. To mark the 40th anniversary of "Living Eyes", I'm joined from New Zealand by broadcaster and writer Tim Roxborogh (an advisor on the Emmy-winning documentary "The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart") to discuss why the album deserves another hearing.

In 1967, the Bee Gees announced their arrival on the British music scene with "Bee Gees 1st", an album that ranks among the best work produced that year. So why is it rarely mentioned in the same breath as the Beatles' "Sgt Pepper" and other iconic releases of the time? I'm joined by Australia-based youth culture and popular music historian Dr Christine Feldman-Barrett to discuss what makes "Bee Gees 1st" such an important album – and how the Gibb brothers' emigration from the UK to Australia and back again influenced their music so strongly.

In this episode, we're taking a look at quite possibly the most controversial career move the Bee Gees ever made – the infamous Sgt Pepper movie. Critics have dubbed it one of the worst movies ever made. But is it really that bad, and did it actually damage the Gibbs' career? I'm joined by Bee Gees fan David and Beatles fans Jan and Phoebe for an in-depth discussion.
