Day 0147 - Odessa

The Bee Gees "Odessa" (1969)


Wow, so double albums seemed to be fairly popular back in the day. I wonder if it was because there was (I think) a 50 minute limit to how much you could fit on an LP/record, so as soon as bands went over that they just thought "well okay, let's do a double album!"

Apparently this album was released shortly before the band broke up for a while.  It was an attempt at a concept album based around the story of the loss of a fictional ship... I don't have much time for concept albums, unless I like the music.  I don't mind the Beegees, but to be honest, aside from the odd melody that worked its way under my skin, this one didn't really impress me that much.
