 After they arrived in Britain, The Bee Gees signed with Stigwood's RSO Records (distributed by Polydor) for the UK, and Atlantic Records in the USA, but Spin (and therefore Festival) retained the exclusive rights to distribute The Bee Gees' recordings in Australia for the better part of a decade.The first Bee Gees single released under that arrangement was their international breakthrough hit "New York Mining Disaster 1941" (1967).Spin released some of the best local and international singles of the late Sixties, including all of The Bee Gees late '60s UK recordings.
