Bee Gees 1st is the debut album for the Polydor (USA: ATCO) label by the Bee Gees, released in July of 1967. Contrary to the group's later disco-oriented releases, Bee Gees 1st was a psychedelic rock album. The song New York Mining Disaster 1941 was later covered by Chumbawamba on their WYSIWYG album, by Martin Carthy on Signs of Life, and as a B-side by the Levellers. "Every Christian Lion-Hearted Man Will Show You" has also been covered by The Flaming Lips as an intro to early live versions of "Shine On Sweet Jesus" as documented on the compilation 20 Years of Weird: Flaming Lips 1986-2006.
