Let There Be Love

The song Let There Be Love, born from the pen of Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, was presented to the world as the gateway to the album Idea in 1968. This track, written by the three brothers, encapsulates the essence of their pop era of the late sixties and early seventies. Interestingly, in 1970, after a period of separation from the group, this piece found new life in the Benelux countries, being released as a single. On that occasion, Really and Sincerely, from the album Horizontal, accompanied Let There Be Love on the B-side, managing to reach number 16 on the charts in the Netherlands.

The album Idea, released in August 1968, was a milestone for the Bee Gees, selling over a million copies worldwide. The British edition, released in mono and stereo, featured a cover design by Wolfgang Heilemann with a beehive-shaped neon light bulb and a photo of the group at its base. On the other hand, the North American version, with art by Klaus Voormann, showed a head composed of the faces of each member. This record marked the group's third international release, as their first two works only saw the light of day in the Australian market. Tracks like I've Gotta Get a Message to You and I Started a Joke were singles in North America, while in the United Kingdom, Message was released as a single and I Started a Joke remained an album track.
