(The Lights Went Out In) Massachusetts/ Sir Geoffrey Saved The World

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole, in its original Atco Records factory sleeve. Back in November 1967, this great early Bee Gees single became their biggest hit to date, right after "To Love Somebody" and "Holiday." But they didn't reach the top 10 until the next year, when both "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" and "I Started A Joke" did the trick for this versatile Australian trio. Of course, their later career(s) saw new chart heights with spectacular, record-making success in the 1970s. By the way, don't ignore the relentlessly catchy, uptempo B side despite its "to my ears" silly title. Only an Englishman could write such a title. :-) Still, it's a B-side "throwaway" that demonstrates just how easily catchy melodies flowed from the minds of this trio of brothers over the years, even from the very start. Note: These copies have the original (small, squarish) warehouse price sticker on the sleeve. The drillhole may appear in a different location than shown in the scan. These copies have pristine Mint vinyl and audio.
