THE STORY: Inception/Nostalgia was a 1970 compilation of previously unreleased songs recorded by the Bee Gees in 1966. This double album contains a mixture of both self-penned songs and covers. The first LP in the set is titled Inception while the second LP is titled Nostalgia, hence the album title. Supposedly intended as a follow-up to the three volumes of Rare, Precious & Beautiful, this set was first issued by Karussell in Germany and by Triumph in France, both being Polydor budget labels and therefore linked to their licensing deal with Festival Records. The Gibb brothers were unaware of its release until Maurice saw one during a skiing holiday in Switzerland. It did not remain in print for long but it was released by Polydor in Japan in 1972 as Inception and Nostalgia, with a varying selection of these songs appearing on a number of compilations across the world over the next few years.
The original songs, those written by one or more Gibb brother, were all written and recorded during or shortly after the recording of what made up the "Spicks And Specks" album at Ossie Byrne's recording studio in Hurstville. Those twelve songs could have made up the contents of a subsequent Bee Gees album but were ultimately turned over as demos for other artists to record, among them Ronnie Burns who promptly used eight of their songs for his 1967 album "Ronnie", including "All the King's Horses" of which the Bee Gees version remains unreleased. "Lonely Winter" was part of a deal with the band Steve & the Board to each record a song written by a member of the other band, Barry Gibb in turn supplied them with "Little Miss Rhythm & Blues". The brothers also took time to record a number of covers of songs by The Beatles as well as the Lovin' Spoonful but for what purpose is unknown. Two additional songs from this batch, the Walker Brothers' "Another Tear Falls" and The Beatles' "If I Needed Someone", still remain unreleased. At some point during their recording sessions the brothers found some orchestral backing tracks to which they added lead vocals with no intention of releasing them.
