Just to let you know that the Bee Gees recorded up to 3 versions of "Mrs. Gillespie's Refrigerator"<br /><br />1. 1966 recording - submitted to Stigwood on a demo acetate - never released, presumed lost<br />2. 1967 recording - "Horizontal" outtake - released as a bonus track on the 2006 issue - it's provenance seems unknown so it could be the above version<br />3. 1967 BBC recording - closer to The Sands' version with bass kind of acting as the lead instrument<br /><br />The Bee Gees I find fascinating and severely underrated during their 60s and some of their early 70s period. Pearls hidden in schlock - not a big fan of the OTT orchestral accompaniment and the overuse of vibrato but there is genuine genius often lurking even in their worst excesses.
