I went to the site, clicked and there were NO Bee Gees or Barry Gibb things to buy? Whatever happened when he used to sing songs and post them off his site? What ever happened to Barry Gibb Unplugged, (Barry Gibb Radio)? The Country Album, the song about the lady that killed her boyfriends a million times??? If he really likes to write, write with his kids, then where is it, anything at all? The convert was great, but I REALLY think Barry has one more album in him. Linda kicked him off the couch once, doesnt she have two feet? Time to wind up the other one!

I agree with you, however, what is most sad to me is that I can't hear the music, particularly the unreleased content. I'm selfish. But I am also well aware that they have worked hard all their lives--writing, arranging, producing, touring... being away from their families just to bestow upon us (fans) their greatness/music. They OWE us NOTHING! Not even reissues! But here's a question to the Gibb and any Gibb estate (if applicable) -- why all the whining re: the disco era? "We were writing music years before disco" "We didn't know what disco was" "We had already written the songs before we knew they were going to be in a movie" "We never wore white suits--that was John Revolting" "Come here, put on these suits" And per Robin, "There were only a few songs that were sung in falsetto", or as he has commonly said, "those silly voices" "I'd like to set fire to those white suits" And so on and so on... then the 180 turnabout? Crap, Gibb boys, there may be 1 or 2 fans that would like to hear your back catalog. I'm not asking you to give it to me, hell, I don't even want your cheap teeshirts--just the music--just the music! I'm a paying fan. Probably not a "True Fan", but a fan, nonetheless. Obviously, it's not an issue of releasing, as you've been releasing the same stuff since Moses wore shorts. Sheesh! Can I get an Amen? And no, I'm not drinking, but maybe I'll start. Good day. Back to top

How high did his album make it in the charts? Rumors have floated about possible Robin re releases and there any new rumors? Has Robin John developed any new super skills that we have not heard about? Levitating, drinking mink through his nose? Back to top

One would think he would be willing to through us a bone… (no marijuana reference so don’t get your hopes up… Yea, yea, yea.. I know it’s for your glaucoma) :)) Back to top

Probably to many “family stakeholders” when you really need commercial professionals who care about making some money.

I suspect that, collectively, all off the stakeholders involved simply don't care enough to crack some heads together, pull in the same direction, and get a viable reissue program off the ground.
