Darling" by Robin was number 15 in USA and didn't chart in UK or Germany. The album was 5th in USA, 38th in UK and 29th in Germany. I know that from "The Ultimate Biography of The Bee Gees" (Da Book) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2002 23:39:03 +0200 From: "Toni Quintana" Subject: Re: DVD Brazil All right, no insert at all..., but the DVD was there (that's the point) ( :-) ) Toni. > > In a message dated 6/28/02 6:01:47 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > > ListMember@brothersgibb.com writes: > > > > > > > > > > I just got my DVDs from Brazil today > > > > Hi Mary: > > > > I got my Sargent Pepper's DVD yesterday.

Pepper's DVD Yes, Robin keeps on singing as he doesn't notice the rest are leaving...., and when they pull him he almost loses his ears to the headphones..., that's a great part of the film.... his version of "Oh Darling" is great..., very well sung. Now I wonder why they did not put Andy in the place of Peter Frampton... I think the movie could had been less bad...., I don't like the way Frampton acts (even sings... doesn't fit into it to me), and with Andy, there had been at least an opportunity to see the four brothers together, apart from that, the soundtrack would have been even better. Well, as for the rest of the movie, it is only for die-heart fans I supose, despite the fact thet the soundtrack is well done, but the film itself is very hard to place.... sometimes I feel like is a Disney-type movie, but the story is not...., I find it very hard to expres, really. I've only seen very little fron their home movies, but yes it can be related to that.
