The Bee Gees Temptation 1984

       The Brothers Gibb started performing as pre-teens. They had hits in the '60s, '70s and '80s. They played a variety of music but when they got the A-side to the Saturday Night Fever  soundtrack they were practically the face of disco and by that time there was disco backlash in the U.S. They did solo efforts but still wrote songs together. For this 1984 imaginary album I used Barry Gibb's Now Voyager , Robin Gibb's Secret Agent  and the soundtrack Maurice Gibb wrote for the Rutger Hauer movie A Breed Apart . It includes three songs written by all three brothers. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHnLE0OxajGKz-QgUlenWc0ca8y_zKsV&si=SL96-He9lugUOm3Q

Electric Light Orchestra Secret Messages 1984

  Last blog I mentioned turning ELO's Secret Messages into two albums so here is the other one. Kelly Groucutt does not appear on any of the tracks. I wanted to use the songs that had backmasking such as Stranger and Time After Time to fit in with secret messages theme. I used the title song, Loser Gone Wild, Stranger, Danger Ahead and Time After Time from the original CD, After All was a bonus track on the 2001 release, Buildings Have Eyes, Mandalay and Hello My Old Friend were all on Afterglow and the 2018 double album. In fact, the last four songs of this album are coincidently side four of the double album. The front cover was prereleased promo art for the album and the back is the Jodrell Bank radio telescope seen in the Secret Messages video. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHnLE0OxajFpqxBFjpMG4BZYC2hywhh5&si=zg5UeZZo21Ene3BS
