Stuart and Cristiano lower their spy glasses, switch on X-ray vision and accept their mission of reviewing Robin's 1984 album, 'Secret Agent'. Despite the album brimming with the trademark Robin & Maurice catchy choruses, earworm hooks, and plenty of ooohs and aaahs, this is a divisive album that is often overlooked and dismissed amongst the wider Gibb discography. It's time to go b-b-b-back to this quirky synthpop album and find out how it holds up over forty years after its release.

Stuart and Cristiano follow the evening star and arrive at side two of 'Eyes That See In The Dark'. With the quality demos, plus a leftover song, the Bee Gees once again prove that the albums given away to other artists were as strong (and where these demos are concerned for Stuart and Cristiano, arguably stronger) than the contemporary material released under their own name.

The next artist in the 1980s to receive an album overseen by the Gibbs was Kenny Rogers, with his 1983 album 'Eyes That See In The Dark'. Stuart and Cristiano return to this buried treasure as they discuss side one of the album. As expected from a collaboration with Rogers, country influences are abound, with appearances from Dolly Parton and the Gatlin Brothers. And with Barry and Maurice taking on a majority of the song writing, there is a return to the style of the early 1970s, with the simplicity and refined quality of the compositions, all of which is proven by the astounding set of demos on which this album was founded.
