Spirits Having Flown

Spirits Having Flown is the fifteenth album by the Bee Gees, released in 5 February 1979, by RSO Records. It was the group's first album after their collaboration on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. The album's first three tracks were released as singles and all reached No. 1 in the US, giving the Bee Gees an unbroken run of six US chart-toppers in a one-year period and equaling a feat shared by Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles. The album's title track was also released as a single in the UK and other European countries.

It was the first Bee Gees album to make the UK top 40 in ten years (not counting the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack album), as well as being their first and only UK No. 1 album. The album also topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden and the US. It has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.

Spirits Having Flown marked the end of the band's most successful era, prior to a severe downturn in the early 1980s when they were subject to a near-total radio blackout (particularly in America) that Robin Gibb would refer to as "censorship" and "evil" in interviews.

Reprise Records remastered and re-released the album on CD in 2006, although it did not include any additional bonus tracks, demos or outtakes. Following its acquisition of the Bee Gees catalog in 2016, Universal Music Group reissued the album in 2020 on vinyl through Capitol Records.
