Album Notes:
Love Songs was the third Bee Gees  compilation album in four years, though the first to cover a specific musical style. A proposed album of love songs was in the works around 1995 when the Bee Gees recorded old hits like “Heartbreaker” and “Emotion” from the late ’60s, but that project was soon shelved and those recordings remained unavailable until 2001.
Following the success of the Number Ones compilation in 2004, Universal once again tried to mine the Bee Gees catalog, this time focusing on their ballads. Spanning their entire career, Love Songs features many of the group’s big hits, but also includes some lesser known tracks such as “Secret Love” and “For Whom The Bell Tolls”, which were both big hits in Europe. Also, included is the live version of “Islands In The Stream”, which many consider the superior Bee Gees version as compared with the techo-version found on 2001’s Their Greatest Hits: The Record.
The U.S. and the UK versions differed slightly in song selection and running time. Included in the UK version were 1993’s “Heart Like Mine” and a song the Gibb Brothers wrote for Ronan Keating in 1999 called “Lovers And Friends” in which The Bee Gees sing backup. This irked many fans as this was not a true Bee Gees song in that it prevented other classic Bee Gees tracks from making the album. Another anomaly was the inclusion of the Robin Gibb solo hit “Juliet” from 1983, which was a big hit in many countries, except in the UK and the U.S.
By the time “Love Songs” was released, there had been several Bee Gees compilations on the market as well as their entire back catalog, so this release seemed somewhat redundant. In the U.S. it did chart but only managed to reach #166. In the UK it climbed to #51, but its best showing was in France where it went Top 20, peaking at #18.

The Album Notes
Trafalgar is the Bee Gees’ seventh album, released in September 1971. The album was a moderate hit in the United States, and peaked at #34. The lead single “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?” was the first Bee Gees’ #1 single in the United States. “Review by Bruce Eder
The Bee Gees had entered the early ’70s with a roaring success in the guise of “Lonely Days” and its accompanying album, which established their sound as a softer pop variant on the Moody Blues’ brand of progressive rock. Trafalgar, which followed, carried the process further on what was their longest single LP release, clocking in at 47 minutes. The music all sounded meaningful, much of it displaying the same kind of faux-grandeur that the Moody Blues affected on their music of this era, the core group (playing pretty hard) acompanied by either Mellotron – generated orchestra or the real thing, with the group’s soaring harmonies and Robin Gibb’s quavaring lead vocals all over the place. As with 2 Years On’s “Man for All Seasons,” there was also one title (“Lion in Winter,” featuring a startling falsetto performance) lifted from a recently popular film and play having to do with English history. It was all very beautifully produced and, propelled into record – store racks by the presence of “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” the group’s first No. 1 single, Trafalgar shipped very well initially. Nothing else on the record was remotely as memorable as the single, however, and its sales were limited.
Trafalgar was also the handsomest and most elaborately designed of their albums, its cover reprinting Pocock’s painting “The Battle of Trafalgar” and the interior gatefold containing a shot of the brothers enacting the scene of the death of Lord Nelson. It all imparted the sense of a concept album, though nothing in the music said so, except perhaps the finale, “Walking Back to Waterloo.” Despite the hit single, the album showed the limits of the Bee Gees’ talents as songwriters and of their appeal as album artists. ”
