Each time he's hired it's because of people he knew who wanted to work with him. It's the best lesson in networking I've read in a long time. Even if you take a two-week job driving a van to bring some money in, do it well and people will talk about you. He's not real fond of Albhy Galuten, for sure. --Joe Brennan PS: I saw a few copies in the local Barnes and Noble (Livingston NJ), but I had ordered mine from Amazon already. I'm on a screen so much of the day, I like to sit with a paper book some of the time. Back to top

After reading Da Book I got the impression Blue Weaver wasn't that crazy about Albhy either, even though Blue did not say anything overtly critical of Albhy. My guess is the band blamed Albhy for their termination. Or at least to It would not surprise me at all that besides Karl and Barry, nobody else from the Bee Gees camp in those days was all that fond of Albhy. You wanna bet Maurice privately resented him?

We completed work on the accompanying booklet (some 60 pages) with sheets of lyrics and translation a few weeks ago. We advised Warner Japan to also include the "bonus" photos from the 1970 Japanese release of "Robin's Reign" and got our own copy scanned for the purpose. We met with Warner JP the other day and were shown the sample photos. They looked glossy and good. There is also an ad on the August issue of Japanese "Record Collectors" magazine. It's the first time in many years that any Gibb-related release gets to be advertised in a Japanese magazine. However, this release is basically considered for the hardcore fan base. That is, Warner Japan is only bringing out a small number of copies in the market this time. So if you are a collector and are interested in getting the Japanese edition, it will be advisable to preorder now. Of course, we are hoping this will be another commercial success for Robin, but we are not actually sure what will happen after the first batch sells out. Although I am sure you already have multiple versions of the stuff, but quite frankly, priced at around $30 (U.S.), the Japanese edition of "Collected Works" is a good buy!

Do you know if the edition has an "obi"? Also, apart from Amazon Japan, where else might one buy this from?
