TRAFALGAR isn't a concept album, but it's certainly more bold and substantial than the Bee Gees' past works, featuring intricate arrangements and a rich, multi-layered production. Standout tracks include "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", "It's Just The Way", "Don't Wanna Live Inside Myself", and "Walking Back To Waterloo". This pressing is flawless, offering a lush soundstage with ample power, yet leaving enough room for those harmonies to flow. My copy plays smoothly, with just a touch of surface noise here and there.
Fantastic time-piece showcasing top-notch performance and recording. Packed with deep bass and lingering reverb, of course, your setup needs to handle the groove's details. A blast to listen to, it's a great throwback to early '70s pop-rock. Highly recommended!
This vinyl sounds phenomenal. I picked it up at a local shop for an amazing price, not knowing any of the songs. It's now one of my go-to records to play and impress people with.
I recently and unfortunately discovered an issue with the ATCO 1971 SD 70003 release of Bee Gees' Trafalgar. After purchasing three copies, I've noticed this problem on two ATCO pressings. Check out the links below for reference. 👇 https://www.discogs.com/release/5541453-Bee-Gees-Trafalgar https://www.discogs.com/release/1480359-Bee-Gees-Trafalgar The flaw is most noticeable on the track 'Don't Want To Live Inside Myself'. It actually starts from the fade-out of 'Trafalgar', where the stereo response drops on the right channel and continues through to the piano intro of 'Don't Want To Live Inside Myself'. Until Barry sings the line, "I got my right hand on the wheel", the full stereo response on both channels returns. I'm curious to know how many other ATCO pressings have this issue. As I've mentioned before, it seems that the Bee Gees' European label, Polydor, had better sound quality during this time, until RSO took over from Atlantic in 1973. It appears that ATCO pressings aren't the best choice when building your Bee Gees collection. The problem is that most American Bee Gees album covers were gatefold editions, unlike the British and European versions which were single-sleeved. These record companies, they don't make it easy, do they. 😊
