I absolutely love both Chain Reaction and Secret Love. A&B is just good. The thing I really don't like about it - dare I say it - is Barry's falsetto on the Some love never dies, story of our lives line. The same thing with Overnight. I think Barry's falsetto is too much on the foreground in those 2 songs. Let Maurice sing the song! Michel I think there is some truth in what you're saying (the potential for Barry to overdo his falsetto has been a recurring issue with Bee Gees vocals for years), but A&B and Overnight are songs requiring a certain amount of range that Maurice may not have had. He did a a good job of lead vocals on both, but he did need some help. I like both songs. Exciting tracks.

Instead of selling it at an exorbitant price he should be giving it away to everybody who is a regular contributor on the main Bee Gees newgroups. Just my opinion. Julian Not a bad thought. I can't see how Barry could possibly need the money the sales from Bumrush may generate.
