Seriously, WTH? They need to do THE WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY, at least up through the 70s.
I've been digging the hell out of Main Course lately myself.

I don't know. I can't hear 'Staying Alive' any other way. Not sure I'd want to, either.

A mixed bag of an album, but with a couple of lovely, lovely high points...

What the ..?
'Disco Inferno' is glorious, and among the best tunes on the SNF soundtrack.

One of the great disco tunes full stop. Nothing to do with The Bee Gees of course.

I heard Spirits Having Flown for the first time recently.
It's pretty dismal, apart from the closing track. Any defenders?

I have been playing a lot of this Robin Gibb set recently. he really was a very unusual vocal stylist, and an interesting writer. He was a bit quaint really, but I love his stuff. Very under appreciated.
