I also listened to 'Warm Ride' and it is a Barry falsetto lead at a slightly faster pace than Andy's version, which I prefer.

"Boogie Child" did reach a respectable #12 on the U.S. chart, but it's probably their most forgettable hit- good thing too, I personally don't like it all. "You Stepped into My Life" as a replacement "Disco" song from the COTW was the right choice since I think it's a better song. As for "Edge of the Universe" the single was the live version, which I don't think captures that wonderful Beatleseque feel of the studio version. Either version didn't really fit the "Greatest" collection of songs. Not that "Rest Your Love On Me" fits, either, but it was never released and it was a quality song that displayed their (Barry' in this case) versaltilty. In the end, the exclusion of those two songs proved that even the extremely chart conscious Bee Gees and RSO weren't going strictly by chart position. >I also listened to 'Warm Ride' and it is a Barry falsetto lead at a slightly faster pace than Andy's version, >which I prefer. >Marty From SF I guess that's just how they did the vocals in those days. Barry on lead, usually in falsetto. I still wonder a little how , and why, Robin virtually gave up singing lead singer at that time.
