| rdfs:comment | - Main Course is the Bee Gees' eleventh album, released in 1975, and their last album to be released by Atlantic Records in the U.S. under its deal with Robert Stigwood. This album marked a change for the Bee Gees as it was their first album to include disco hits. Working with Atlantic producer Arif Mardin, who had also produced their previous album, Mr. Natural, and engineer Karl Richardson at Criteria Studios in Miami, their music became much more R & B influenced. Main Course also featured the debut of Barry Gibb's falsetto. The famous album cover was designed by US artist Drew Struzan.

| abstract | - Main Course is the Bee Gees' eleventh album, released in 1975, and their last album to be released by Atlantic Records in the U.S. under its deal with Robert Stigwood. This album marked a change for the Bee Gees as it was their first album to include disco hits. Working with Atlantic producer Arif Mardin, who had also produced their previous album, Mr. Natural, and engineer Karl Richardson at Criteria Studios in Miami, their music became much more R & B influenced. Main Course also featured the debut of Barry Gibb's falsetto. The famous album cover was designed by US artist Drew Struzan. The sound became more technological with the use of synthesizers and dual bass lines (synthesizer bass by Blue Weaver and bass guitar by Maurice Gibb) on many of the songs, which came about after Weaver overdubbed a synthesizer bass line on the original demo of "Jive Talkin'." Weaver later commented that "nothing new has been invented to make such a tremendous difference to the sound as the synthesizer did, compared to an orchestra." The album peaked at #14 on the U.S. Billboard album chart. Three singles from the album charted on Billboard's single chart: "Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)" at #12, "Nights on Broadway" at #7, and "Jive Talkin'" at #1, and a live version of a fourth song, "Edge of the Universe", reached #26.
