Background

In December 2007, Gibb told the BBC radio that he was working on a new studio album to release it in 2008. A new title he mentioned was "Days of Wine and Roses" and later in February 2008, he claimed on Dubai Radio that the song was a possible single. He also recorded a remake of "Avalanche", a 1970 song from his unreleased studio album Sing Slowly Sisters. In March 2008, Gibb revealed that he was working with Peter-John Vettese of Jethro Tull again.[3]

A remake of "I Am the World" from 1966, which was written by him, was rewritten with Vettese. "Alan Freeman Days" was previously released in Songs from the British Academy, Volume 1. The original version of "Instant Love", with son Robin-John Gibb on lead vocals, was released on the soundtrack of Blood Type – The Search, while the newer version of the song that was included on this album features Robin singing the first verse and Robin-John singing the second verse (with both on the chorus).[4] "Sydney" was previously released as a single in 2011 — the last song Gibb recorded.[5]
