Dossier Odessa Italiano

"Odessa" is the 6th studio album by the Bee Gees. Regarded as the most significant of the group's Sixties albums, it was released as a double vinyl record, initially in an opulent red flocked cover with gold lettering. An ambitious project, originally intended as a concept album on the loss of a fictional ship in 1899, it created tension and disagreements in the band regarding the album's direction. The album was not well received by the public or the music press on release, and led to a decline in the group's fortunes until their disco period in the mid 1970s. Odessa would be the final album for the band's original incarnation, and this was the last album to include guitarist Vince Melouney. In 2009, Reprise Records released a Deluxe remaster of the album, as prepared by Rhino Records, with 3 discs containing, respectively, the album in stereo, the album in mono and selected rarities. The 3rd disc, entitled "Sketches for Odessa" featured demos of the songs plus a vocal take of "With All Nations (International Anthem)" and the previously unissued tracks "Nobody's Someone" and "Pity". This edition restored the red flocking originally found on the LP.
