Living Eyes is the Bee Gees’ sixteenth original album (fourteenth internationally), released in October 1981. The Bee Gees turned away from the disco sound that was prominent on their work in the middle-to-late 1970s with this album. While it did not sell well in either the UK or the US, the album itself was a top 40 hit in the majority of territories in which it saw wide release.
It would be the band’s final album on RSO Records. The label would be absorbed into Polydor and subsequently discontinued.
