Interesting. I'm not familiar with any of the songs from this album. Did any of the singles chart? The title track is great. SO unlike what they would later do!
"First of May" charted around the world, and peaked in the top 20 in several countries. "Melody Fair" wasn't released as a single in the US or UK, but was featured along with other Bee Gees songs in a British film titled "Melody" and did well based on that. It was released as a single in Japan and reached #2.
Many of their songs have been covered by other artists and achieved success that way. The Bee Gees' version of "Sound of Love" is rather delicate overall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jPWpGB8Qjk

Etta James gave it considerably more heft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DMvcr7Galk

This is new to me…thanks for sharing it!
