Three-disc expanded Deluxe Edition of Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb's 1969 double-LP pop masterpiece, presented in deluxe packaging that reproduces the original release's red-flocked cover, including a poster and sticker. Disc one features the original stereo mixes of the title's 17 song sequence. Disc two marks the U.S. recording debut of the original mono mixes of the same 17 songs. Bonus disc 3 boasts 22 previously unreleased recordings, including 20 alternate takes and demos plus two songs not featured on the original album-'Pity' and 'Nobody's Someone.'

A colorful account of the transformation of one of Europe's foremost Jewish cities, told through the stories of its geniuses and villains.

Italian merchants, Greek freedom fighters, and Turkish seamen; a Russian empress and her favorite soldier-bureaucrats; Jewish tavern keepers, traders, and journalists—these and many others seeking fortune and adventure rubbed shoulders in Odessa, the greatest port on the Black Sea.

Here a dream of cosmopolitan freedom inspired geniuses and innovators, from Alexander Pushkin and Isaac Babel to Zionist activist Vladimir Jabotinsky and immunologist Ilya Mechnikov. Yet here too was death on a staggering scale: not only the insidious plagues common to seaports but also the mass murder of Jews carried out by the Romanian occupation during World War II. Drawing on a wealth of original source material, Odessa is an elegy for the vibrant, multicultural tapestry of which a thriving Jewish population formed an essential part, as well as a celebration of the survival of Odessa's dream in a diaspora reaching all the way to Brighton Beach. 25 black-and-white illustrations

Reprise's reissue of the Bee Gees' legendary late 60s pop masterpiece
is an important milestone in the ongoing restoration of the group's
catalog. This deluxe vinyl edition of ODESSA authentically and painstakingly reproduces the original 1969 double-LP album release, complete with distinctive red-flocked cover, metallic gold lettering, and gatefold packaging. Introduced four decades ago, ODESSA marked an early creative peak for the Brothers Gibb, and drew comparisons to The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in its depth and vision. Remastered from the original British stereo flat master tapes, the album's 17 selections ranging from simple acoustic songs to orchestral overtures sound brilliant on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, sequenced over the set's four LP sides.
