(1968)Following a string of Top 20 singles on both sides of the Atlantic, The Bee Gees released the odd single "Jumbo" b/w "The Singer Sang His Song". Many, including The Bee Gees themselves have felt that the flip side was the stronger of the two songs and should have been promoted as the "A"-side. "Jumbo" managed to reach the Top 40 in the U.K., but stalled at #57 in America, breaking a streak of 5 straight Top 20 singles. Until the release of the box set Tales of the Brothers Gibb, "Jumbo" was only available on vinyl.
