Lot 53BEE GEES-SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING-1993-FIRST PRESS UK/EU-POLYDOR-NMINT/NMINT

BEE GEES-SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING-1993-FIRST PRESS UK/EU-POLYDOR-519945-1. A rare British original of the cult album. Size Isn't Everything is the twentieth studio album by the British band Bee Gees, released in September 1993.

The first thing in the form of a separate single was the song "Paying The Price Of Love", which took the 23rd place in the UK chart. The album itself was able to rise only to the 33rd position in the UK chart, and only lasted in the hundred for 16 weeks. The second single, "For Whom The Bell Tolls", was more successful and reached the top five. The third single, "How to Fall in Love, Part 1", was released later than everyone else and did not gain popularity in the UK, managing to rise only to the 30th place. Thus, Size Isn't Everything since Spirits Having Flown became the first Bee Gees disc, three singles from which managed to get into the top thirty of the main chart of the United Kingdom.

The reaction in the United States was less noticeable, the album spent only three weeks on the Billboard 200 and occupied a relatively low 153rd place at the maximum. The single "Paying The Price Of Love" managed to rise to the 74th position during the Christmas holidays. Oddly enough, the publication was expected to be a huge success in Argentina, Latin Americans really liked the song "For Whom the Bell Tolls", where it held the lead of the hit parade for some time. In total, the worldwide sales of the album amounted to about 700 thousand copies. Regarding the song "Blue Island", Barry Gibb noted in an interview that it is "the coolest song they have ever written".

BEE GEES-HIGH CIVILIZATION-1991-FIRST PRESS UK/EU GERMANY-WARNER-7599-26530-1. A rare original of the cult group. High Civilization is the nineteenth studio album by the British pop group the Bee Gees, released on March 25, 1991 in the United Kingdom, and on May 14, 1991 in the United States-their last album recorded for Warner Bros. Records, after a four-year contract (they will return to WB through a subsidiary company Reprise Records in 2006: having obtained the rights to their previously released material, they will reissue each album through Reprise). Perhaps in response to the firm resistance of American radio to the two previous albums-E. S. P. (1987) and One (1989), which proved well in other countries, the American Warner Bros. gave this advertisement one less share and did not release remixes. They recorded this album, and their next album size is not everything with engineer Femi Gia.  In the US, the album was only available on CD and cassette, but the LP version was released in limited quantities in some countries. While it failed to chart in the US, it reached No. 6 in Switzerland, No. 2 in Germany (achieving platinum certification in both countries), No. 24 in the UK. ...more
