The Bee Gees - 1st (1967)

It seems like quite a few pretty/really good psych bands/musicians/producers from the 1960's eventually ended up making disco. As you all know, Curt Boettcher was huge into disco in the decade following his genius sunshine pop productions, The Beach Boys dabbled in disco on LA Light Album (with the help of Curt Boettcher, or uhh... Becher), if you look back a few posts on this blog, you'll see The Flower Pot Men, who were a great sunshine pop band in the 1960's, and eventually partially became First Class, who still kept their sunshine pop sound but implemented tons of disco sounds into their music, and these examples just barely scratch the surface. What you might not know though, is that some of the hugest disco acts of the 1970's, also started as psych bands in the 1960's. The Bee Gees are the perfect example of one of those bands.

Sounds similar to The Hollies, The Tremeloes, and Revolver-era Beatles. Though it sounds like a lot of other psych-pop albums, it's still a good album, and it's interesting to hear pre-disco-love-ballad The Bee Gees.
