"Life in a Tin Can" is the Bee Gees' ninth album, released in January 1973. The Bee Gees moved their base of operations from England, UK to Los Angeles, California, U.S. to record "Life in a Tin Can". However, it was unable to prevent a commercial decline with the album criticized for a lack of innovation. Despite its low sales and poor chart performance, "Life In A Tin Can" was awarded "Album of the Year" by "Record World" magazine. This would also be the first Bee Gees album to bear the RSO label in the US.

The album reached #10 on the Italian charts and sold 175,000 copies worldwide. "Saw a New Morning" was a number one hit in Hong Kong.
