Robin Gibb : Robin's Reign/ How Old Are You


SAVED BY THE BELL

ON YOUR OWN CAROUSEL

NOW WHO CAN TELL

IF YOU'LL LOVE THAT MAN AS WELL


Robin's Reign

 is the first

 solo album

 by British 

singer 

Robin Gibb

 a member of

 The Bee Gees 

with

 his brothers 

Barry and Maurice.

 Robin had left

 the group

 following a

 disagreement with

 his brother Barry

 over who should 

sing lead vocals. 

The album was not

 a commercial success,

 though it did spawn

 Gibb's solo hit, 

"Saved by the Bell"

 (UK #2). 

The other songs

 in the album

 were produced

 by Gibb, 

and the rest 

was produced 

with his 

(then new) manager, 

Vic Lewis

This album was reissued 

by RSO Records

 in 1978

 and reissued

 in 1991 

on Spectrum Records.

 The album had a

 limited CD release

 in Germany

 and was made 

available digitally 

on Amazon

 and Spotify in 2011

 and iTunes 

the following year. 

Gibb would

 not release 

another 

solo album

 until 1983.

 How Old Are You? 

is the second 

solo album

 released by 

British singer

 Robin Gibb

 in 1983, 

thirteen years 

after his debut 

Robin's Reign 

in 1970. 

The album was not 

a great success

 in America 

and failed

 to chart

 in Britain

 but it did spawn

 an international 

hit in 

"Juliet

which topped the charts

 in Germany.

 The album reached

 No. 6 

in Germany.

 The album was 

produced by

 Robin 

and 

Maurice Gibb 

with

 Dennis Bryon.
