Odessa is the Bee Gees at their most ambitious, a sprawling 1969 album presented here as a Japanese import on SHM-CD, the Super High Material CD format prized by collectors for its clarity.
Originally issued as a double album in a striking red flocked sleeve, Odessa was the brothers Gibb reaching beyond the pop single toward something grander. Orchestral arrangements, country detours and baroque ballads share space across seventeen tracks. The sessions were famously tense, and Robin Gibb left the group soon after its release, which gives the record a bittersweet glow in hindsight. Many fans now hear it as the hidden jewel of their 1960s catalogue.
The opening epic, "Odessa (City On The Black Sea)," unfolds like a short film, a tale of a lost ship carried by sweeping strings and Robin's quivering lead. "Melody Fair" is pure chamber pop, lush and melancholy, while "Lamplight" swells from a delicate verse into a soaring, cinematic chorus. Barry's tender "First Of May" became the album's best-known song, a wistful look back at childhood love.
The SHM-CD format suits this richly arranged music beautifully, letting the strings and harmonies bloom.
For anyone who thinks the Bee Gees story starts with disco, Odessa is a gorgeous, surprising education.
