The Vinyl Countdown # 8

Bee Gees, Night Fever [Single] (1978)
Maybe this has always been one of my favourite Bee Gees songs? Quite likely. And among the first I would have heard and though I’ve gone back to their pre-disco pop and I like almost everything up to Saturday Night Fever – I still do have love for that record too. That was the introduction to this band for me. I own a few more Bee Gees singles than albums – probably because I simply don’t want to fall down the rabbit-hole of buying up the albums. I have that classic early best-of and a couple of other key 70s releases and then some singles from across their catalogue. Great pop music. Sometimes it’s the very best. Sometimes it isn’t. But there’s more than half a dozen songs by this band that I absolutely adore. And the A-Side here is among them. The B-side is a fine song too and I used to own the live album it’s taken from.

Sample Track 1: (Side A): Night Fever

Sample Track 2: (Side B): Down The Road
The Vinyl Countdown is a document of every LP I listen to, brand new discoveries and old-old favourites; extremely pre-loved, previously abandoned or with the shrink-wrap having just been removed it’s all here at The Vinyl Countdown
