Cucumber Castle catches the Bee Gees mid-split, a gentle and slightly offbeat pop record from 1970, presented here as a Japanese Super High Material CD.

With Robin Gibb having left to try a solo career, Barry and Maurice carried on as a duo, and drummer Colin Petersen departed during the sessions too. The album was tied to a whimsical television special of the same name, and the music reflects that storybook spirit, mixing orchestral pop, country touches and wistful balladry.

"Don't Forget to Remember" is the standout, a country-tinged lament sung by Barry with heartbreaking sincerity. "I.O.I.O." swings the other way, bright and rhythmic with a chant-along chorus, while "My Thing" gives Maurice a moment in the spotlight. "The Lord" takes a rollicking turn into gospel-flavoured country.

Lush string arrangements wrap around many of the songs, giving even the simpler tunes a gentle sweep that fans of the band's late-1960s sound will recognise.

Often overlooked between the brothers' early hits and their disco reinvention, Cucumber Castle is a charming curiosity that deserves a fresh listen. Heard on this high-quality Japanese CD, Barry and Maurice's harmonies sound as warm and close as ever, a reminder of how much they could do as a pair.
