Following the deluxe reissues of the Bee Gees' first three albums comes this sterling re-ish of their sumptuous 1969 opus, Odessa. It's a less psychedelic affair than their earlier efforts, as the Brothers Gibb add previously non-existent country and bluegrass twang to their trademark orchestral pop-isms. This three-disc set comes complete with alternative mixes and demos, along with the obligatory mono and stereo mixes of the original album. Throw in informative liner notes, and you've got one classy package befitting the elegance of the Bee Gees' pre-"Jive Talkin'"/funk-disco era.
