Album content
editThe three new songs: "Time Is Time", "Me (Without You)" and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" were recorded in the middle of 1980 at Criteria Studios. Another song, a cover of Bee Gees' "Morning of My Life" was recorded but was not included. On the album's side one, it features his five US Top 10 singles, while side two features three new songs and two songs from After Dark.
Record World said that "With a teardrop in his voice and cathedral keyboards rising throughout, Gibb sings of heartache" in the single "Me (Without You)."[2]
The CD versions of the songs later appeared on Andy Gibb (Hits Collection) except "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" which appeared on The Millennium Collection.[3]
