[3] The album had a limited CD release in Germany and was made available digitally on Amazon and Spotify in 2011 and iTunes the following year.

[4] It was considered a psychedelic pop masterpiece in some circles as Gibb explained: "Sometimes on the BBC they'll play unreleased tracks from that album that even I haven't got.

The song chosen as the A-side of the single from the Bee Gees' album Odessa was "First of May" which featured only Barry Gibb with an orchestra.

Robin had hoped for the song "Lamplight", a full group performance which featured him on lead vocals, to be the single but in the end it came out on the B-side.

While Gibb was recording Robin's Reign he wrote "Moon Anthem" and "Ghost of Christmas Past" in June 1969.

[6] On 19 March 1969, Gibb announced his solo plans, and the same day when the Bee Gees recorded "Tomorrow Tomorrow", "Sun in My Morning" and "Ping Pong" (unreleased), and Gibb began recording later in March, Maurice participated at least in one session, on which he played piano on "Saved by the Bell" and bass on "Mother and Jack", but later, Barry was not happy to hear about it.

The demo was then sent to Kenny Clayton, who wrote an orchestral arrangement, adding much detail to Robin's layered tracks.

[8] In that same interview, he talks about his inspirations: "Perhaps because I am unduly sensitive, things like the Hither Green rail crash in which I was involved affect me deeply.

"Mother and Jack" is a calypso-flavoured piece that was Gibb's answer to Barry and Maurice's (Bee Gees) "I.O.I.O."

[9] The tracks now appear on the posthumous boxed set Saved by the Bell: The Collected Works of Robin Gibb 1968-1970.
