2-01. Singles worth finding (Bee Gees)
[1989] One / Wing and A Prayer
This is the only US release of the song "Wing and a Prayer",
a track included on the European "One" CD.
Label: WARNER
[1993] Paying the Price of Love / Decadence
The song "Decadence" was included on the European "Size
Isn't Everything" CD, but in the US could only be found on the
single. It is a remix of "You Should Be Dancing", among other
things. The US single also includes three (!) remixes of "Paying
the Price of Love". Maybe I'm just not into remixes, but I can't
help but wonder what inspired the hyper-marketing of so many of
these, ESPECIALLY when the perfectly listenable songs "855-7019"
and "My Destiny" were languishing in storage.
Label: POLYDOR (US)
[1993] Paying the Price of Love/Paying the Price of Love (KC
Mix)/My Destiny/Paying the Price of Love (The Ocean Drive Mix)
Label: POLYDOR (UK)
Cat #: 859 471-2
[1993] How To Fall in Love, Part 1 (edit)/855-7019/Fallen Angel
(remix)
Label: POLYDOR (UK)
Cat #: 855 647-2
Much thanks to Marty for solving the above mysteries!
[1997] Alone / Closer than Close / Rings Around the Moon
This UK single has rare b-side "Rings Around the Moon".
This song also recently became available on a US maxi-CD single
of "Alone," with "Decadence" and "Stayin' Alive [live version]"
thrown in for good measure.
Label: POLYDOR (UK)
Cat #: 573 527-2
[1997] I Could Not Love You More/Love Never Dies/Brits Medley
This second single from the UK release of "Still Waters" has
the rare b-side "Love Never Dies." The single faded quickly on
the charts, so if you're looking for it, better look now!
Label: POLYDOR (UK)
Cat #: 571 223-2
THE "Let's Parody the Bee Gees and MAKE MONEY FA$T" RECORDINGS:
[1981] Hee Bee Gee Bees - "The Original Hee Bee Gee Bees' 439
Golden Greats"
According to Joe Brennan, this is the work of Phillip Pope,
Mike Stevens and Angus Deayton. This parody album includes
tracks "Meaningless Songs" and "Posing in the Moonlight." In the
interests of justice, let me just mention here that, years later,
the brothers Gibb were given a chance to detonate the Hee Bee Gee
Bees live at a charity telethon in the UK. Ahh, revenge...

LABEL: Hee Bee Gee Bees [RCA] (UK)
