    Heartbreaker

    In September 1982, Dionne Warwick released 'Heartbreaker', an album produced by the indomitable Gibb-Galuten-Richardson team. With the chart-topping title track, and success with follow-ups 'All The Love In The World' and 'Take The Short Way Home', Dionne Warwick had reasserted herself as a leading artist once again after a career that had already seen many heights since 1962. Stuart and Cristiano delve into this R&B and adult-contempo album, as well as the demos and some leftover songs.

    Living Eyes - Part 1

    Stuart and Cristiano return for the fourth season with 1981's 'Living Eyes'. In the midst of legal affairs with RSO, a disco backlash, and a shake-up to the recording style and personnel which had accompanied the Gibbs over the previous five years, the resulting album, which also had a smash-hit predecessor in 'Spirits Having Flown' to live up to, was always going to suffer. And although the album struggled commercially and critically, and subsequently dismissed by the Brothers Gibb, it has gone on to become a fan favourite. A return to natural voices, orchestral bombast and the triumphant return of Robin and Maurice on lead vocals make this album a special one. In this first part, Stuart and Cristiano discuss the context of the album's recording, and the five songs that comprise side one.

    Guilty

    The vocal prowess of Barbra Streisand with the production and songwriting talents of the Gibb-Galuten team... it's a match made in music heaven. And the results prove it. The album 'Guilty', released September 1980, stormed to number one all over the world, accompanied by chart-topping singles. Closing off Season 3 with style, Stuart and Cristiano discuss this masterful album, comparing the finished product to Barry's demos, whilst also exploring Streisand's earlier work, to understand how this project came to such magical fruition.

    Sunrise

    In May 1980, Jimmy Ruffin released his seventh and final studio album, 'Sunrise'. This often-overlooked album consisted of compositions by Robin Gibb and Blue Weaver (with contributions from Barry, Maurice and Andy), with the pair also producing the album. 'Sunrise' is a fascinating combination of the distinct Robin Gibb lyrics, Weaver's trademark arrangements and Ruffin's motown style. When Marcy Levy's vocals and 1970s soul sounds are added in, the result is a charming and totally unique album in the Gibb catalogue. Stuart and Cristiano delve into 'Sunrise', as well as some surrounding material from Robin. Hold On To My Love - Gulymix: JIMMY RUFFIN feat.

    After Dark

    Stuart and Cristiano delve into Andy Gibb's third and final studio album, 'After Dark', released in early 1980. The discouse which often surrounds this album focuses on the overdubs and input from Barry (who also pens almost all of the material on this album), due to Andy's declining vocal capabilities and his absence from recording sessions. However, there's a whole new side to 'After Dark', as Stuart will explain...

    Spirits Having Flown - Part 1

    Spirits are flying high with this seminal 1979 release from the Bee Gees. Rounding off half a decade of chart topping singles and albums, 'Spirits Having Flown' epitomised the Brothers Gibb at the height of their game. Spotless production and arrangements, pitch-perfect falsettos and a refinement of the disco and ballads styles which had defined their recent material, all culminating in one of the group's best regarded, and best selling, albums. In Part One, Stuart and Cristiano discuss side one of the album, and the context of its recording.
