 It went to #1 in other cities including Melbourne, and reached #1 on the newly-established national Top 40 in "Go-Set" magazine, which also named it "Best Record of the Year".The Bee Gees had originally signed to Festival's subsidiary Leedon Records, established by promoter Lee Gordon in the 1950s, and which Festival had acquired after Gordon's untimely death.According to Bee Gees historian Joseph Brennan, Festival was on the verge of dropping The Bee Gees from Leedon in late 1965, after eleven successive chart failures, although the band, and their manager and father Hugh Gibb, felt that much of the blame lay with Festival itself, and that the company had done little to promote their recordings.
