Bee Gees - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
The song had been written by Barry and Robin Gibb in August
1970, when the Gibb brothers had reconvened following a period of break-up and
alienation. They said that they originally offered it to Andy Williams, but
ultimately the Bee Gees recorded it themselves and included it on their 1971
album, Trafalgar.

Days
"Lonely Days" is a ballad by the Bee Gees. Written
by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, and featured on their album 2 Years On, in
the US it reached #3, their highest chart up to that point. Atco released it a
few weeks ahead because the Bee Gees were touring the US. The record success
helped establish the band as expert pop stylists. It was their first Top Five
hit in the US, peaking at number three in the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching
number one in the Cashbox and Record World charts.
In many interviews, the Bee Gees have said that they
recorded this song and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" in the same
night that they reunited.

Bee Gees - I.O.I.O.
"I.O.I.O."marked the group's first conscious delving into what is now called 'world music', according to Robin Gibb, it grew out of his brother Barry's visit to Africa. Maurice Gibb described this as "Barry's African jaunt" as the opening has African-type percussion that leads into Barry Gibb singing the verse, joined by Maurice in the chorus. Maurice claimed was never finished properly, and still featured Barry's guide vocal in a place of a finished performance. -wiki
