{"product_id":"bee-gees-main-course-cd","title":"Bee Gees - Main Course [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eMain Course is the album where the Bee Gees found their groove, presented here as a Japanese Super High Material CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1975, it came at a low point in the brothers' fortunes, and they headed to Miami to record with producer Arif Mardin. The change of scene and Mardin's ear for R\u0026amp;B nudged them towards a tighter, more rhythmic sound, laying the groundwork for the disco years ahead. It's the pivot on which their entire later career turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Jive Talkin'\" is the blueprint, a chugging, funk-inflected groove inspired, so the story goes, by the rhythm of a car crossing a bridge. \"Nights on Broadway\" is where Barry first unleashed the falsetto that would become their trademark, and \"Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)\" is a sweet, soulful slow jam. \"Wind of Change\" pushes the funk further still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBallads still have their place, but the drum patterns and basslines are now front and centre, and the band sounds re-energised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who knows the Bee Gees through Saturday Night Fever, this is the crucial first step. It's a confident, joyful record that captures a group rediscovering itself, and this high-quality Japanese CD gives those harmonies plenty of space to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518468792625,"sku":"4988031536728","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Bee_Gees-Main_Course_CD.jpg?v=1794678963","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/bee-gees-main-course-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
