Artist: BEE GEES / THE RICHARD HEWSON ORCHESTRA Title : LOVE MELODY Format : stereo LP Label : ATCO, USA (SD 33-363) Year : 1971 Style : Soundtrack, Pop/Rock, Easy Listening Info : Scarce original US pressing LP, featuring the original motion picture soundtrack from the classic film starring Jack Wild, Mark Lester and Tracy Hyde. Showing precisely how much of a golden touch the Bee Gees had in the years 1967-1970, even this soundtrack album on which they participated in only the most limited way is one of the prettiest records of their output. For starters, it marked the first official appearance of Barry Gibb's "Morning of My Life" (In the Morning), a song (credited here as "In the Morning") that he'd written four years earlier which the group had performed regularly in Australia and which had been offered to other artists, but had somehow never been recorded by them until this soundtrack. The Bee Gees weren't too much more involved with Melody than the Beatles had been with Yellow Submarine, but they did provide this one "new" song in a fresh rendition, and it rivals the most beautiful singles they ever cut and caused many reviewers to say that the movie was worth seeing just for the song. There's nothing else here by the Bee Gees that's unique to this album, but coupled with conductor/arranger Richard Hewson's original orchestral material and a pleasant if undistinguished original song called "Working on It Night and Day" (featuring Barry Hewson on vocals) and oddities such as a group of elementary school students performing "Spicks and Specks," the result is a very rewarding Bee Gees curio, and, thanks to "In the Morning," one that is essential to any serious collection of their work. Also featured is "Teach Your Children" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.Comes in original picture sleeve which is still mostly in shrink-wrap, and has original company inner sleeve.14 tracks:- -side 1: BEE GEES - In The MorningTHE RICHARD HEWSON ORCHESTRA - In The Morning (Reprise)BEE GEES - Melody FairTHE RICHARD HEWSON ORCHESTRA - Melody Fair (Reprise)THE RICHARD HEWSON ORCHESTRA with Children from The Carona School - Spicks and SpecksTHE RICHARD HEWSON ORCHESTRA - Romance Theme in FBEE GEES - Give Your Best -side 2: BEE GEES - To Love SomebodyTHE RICHARD HEWSON ORCHESTRA with BARRY HEWSON - Working On It Night And DayBEE GEES - First Of MayTHE RICHARD HEWSON ORCHESTRA - First Of May (Reprise)THE RICHARD HEWSON ORCHESTRA - Seaside BanjoTHE RICHARD HEWSON ORCHESTRA - Teachers ChaseCROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG - Teach Your Children Vinyl has just a bit of light surface scuff/sleeve wear and plays through nicely.
