The Kid's No Good was to have been the debut solo album by British musician Barry Gibb following his departure from the Bee Gees in December 1969.

On 22 February he recorded "A Child, a Girl, a Woman", "Mando Bay", "Born", "Clyde O'Reilly" and "Peace in My Mind".

"I'll Kiss Your Memory" and its B-side "This Time" from these sessions were released as a single (Polydor in much of the world, Atco in North America) but did not chart.

Atco's initial batch of the follow-up single, featuring a sole song-writing credit for Gibb for both songs, were destroyed although a few copies have survived and are considered collectors items today.

[2] AllMusic's Bruce Eder described "Mando Bay" as 'moody' and "One Bad Thing" as 'Beatlesque' adding "Sounds here are of a piece with the Bee Gees' late sixties output, and they're worth owning by any admirers of the trio who are interested in stretching their legacy as far as possible.
