5.0 out of 5 stars to those disco freaks that love cheesy films!, April 18, 2007

Yes, I'm a HUGE fan of Peter Frampton and the Brothers Gibb and I'm an even BIGGER fan of cheesy films. I've been hunting down this soundtrack on CD since wearing out the VHS I checked out from the library. After having the DVD fall on my foot at my local Walgreen's (and watching it 7 times over 3 days), I'm now starting my search again for the awesome soundtrack. I'm a bit miffed that the tracks are out of order, but it's no big deal. If you love Frampton's guitar work, the BeeGee's vocals, and a cheesy film from '78 to boot, then by all means, get it. For those haters that don't like disco-fied Beatles covers, well, all I can say to them is pfft (oh, and not buy it if they're going to just fuss and cuss about how it's not 'right').

4.0 out of 5 stars Admirable Effort From Frampton and The Bee Gees, August 12, 1999

Since its release in 1978 both critics and the general public have ruthlessly slammed this album, my guess is out of a sense of fanatic loyalty to the Beatles opus and I've never understood why; I've always been of the opinion that Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees did a rather admirable job on this album and they never set out to do a note for note re-make. I like the melancholy feeling Frampton injects into "The Long And Winding Road" and personally think that his version stands toe to toe with Paul McCartney's. Robin Gibb puts a nice, bluesy spin on "Oh Darling", and I love the harmonies of the Brothers Gibb on "I Want You/She's So Heavy". Their voices blend together seamlessly and effortlessly.

Sandy Farina sounds especially vulnerable and touching on "Strawberry Fields Forever", offering a new perspective on the song from a woman's point of view. I also like Diane Steinberg and Stargard's (whatever happened to that group?) sexy delivery of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" as well.

After being out of circulation for at least a good fifteen years, personally I am glad that this album is now finally available on CD and am the proud owner of this great album.

I guess the response was overwhelming for a CD release, but I couldn't wait for the release of this music on CD, so I bought a turntable, cakewalk software, and created my own digital tracks. Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees are great. Back in the 70's, we didn't have CD's, so the whole album had to be great, because there was no way to easily skip to the next song. This CD is definitely worth the money.
