In the end of 1972 and beginning of 1973 the Bee Gee were hard at work on their latest album “A Kick In The Head Is Worth Eight In The Pants”. But by August it was reported the Bee Gees had reached a decision to junk their album master. Robin, Maurice and Barry wrote these songs for the unreleased album. “Where Is Your Sister”, “Rocky L.A”, “Losers And Lovers”, “A Lonely Violin”, “Life Am I Wasting My Time”, “Jesus In Heaven”, “Home Again Rivers”, “Harry’s Gate”, “Dear Mr Kissinger”, “King And Country” “Castles In The Air” (which Graham Bonnet covered later in 1973) and “Wouldn’t I Be Someone” (which was released as a single on June 1973. With the Robin, Maurice and Barry written “Elisa” as the B side. “Wouldn’t I Be Someone” did appear on the “Best of Bee Gees Vol. 2″ that was released in June 1973).

In August a Robin and Barry written song “You’re My Heaven” was submitted as a single. But turned down. With no new album the Bee Gees needed a boost. Enter: Arif Mardin as producer.
