UNIQUE AND EXCLUSIVE BEE GEES TRAFALGAR DEMO DISC. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Bee Gees fans to acquire a unique and exclusive Demo Disc of the Bee Gees' ninth album (seven internationally) called TRAFALGAR, released in September 1971. TRAFALGAR is noted in Robert Dimery's book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". Now you can own the original version of this album with it's unique sleeve, art-work designed by Robin and signed with a personal message to his mum, Barbara. The inscription written in red ink reads: "Dedicated generously to my mum and think being the best mum on the other side of any side of London, which leaves open all galaxies. Warm hearts easily clone. Love, Your Son, Rob. XXXX. May 17th 1971. The album, in stereo-sound, carries eleven tracks and was recorded at IBC Sound Recording Studios, 35 Portland Place, London. The Demo Disc is authenticated with an original note written by Margaret Hullis, sister of Robin's first wife Molly. Molly Hullis was Brian Epstein's secretary until his death when she became secretary to Robert Stigwood. Margaret Hullis writes: "The sleeve of the record was decorated by Robin, and he wrote the inscription dedicated to my mother-in-law of whom he was extremely fond." I have two other sales running in close time to this auction. They are (1) An unpublished photograph from the Gibbs family archive showing Robin with brothers, and the singer Lulu, at Robin's wedding to Molly Hullis and; (2) Four unpublished photgraphs showing Robin and his first wife Molly after their marriage in limosine; a photo of Robin, Molly, and Angie at their wedding; Also an unpublished family group at the Christening of Robin's daughter Melissa, and another photgraph of Robin and Molly with Melissa at the Christening on 22 December 1974. Included with the last batch of photgraphs is a copy of the note of authentication by Margaret Hullis.
