50 St. Catherine's Drive is the seventh and final album by singer-songwriter Robin Gibb, released on 29 September 2014 in the United Kingdom and 30 September 2014 in the United States on Rhino Records two years after his death in 2012.[1][2] The album was named after the address on the Isle of Man where Gibb and his family lived. The album was also co-produced and remastered by his son Robin-John Gibb (RJ Gibb) who had previously composed the album Titanic Requiem with his father. The album reached No. 70 in the United Kingdom and No. 39 in Germany.
For 50 St. Catherine’s Drive, Robin-John also composed and produced, with his father, the songs ‘Instant Love’ and ‘One Way Love’ the latter song ‘One Way Love’ which Robin and Robin-John both composed and produced along with their long-term family friend, former BBC DJ and host of ‘Top of the Pops’ Mike Read and the former song ‘Instant Love’ features Robin-John singing with his father.[3] The final track ‘Sydney’ is the last song ever recorded by Robin Gibb, a song which he had intended to sing together with Barry, however his health would not permit it, and the duet would never be. So Robin-John (RJ) called Elliot Cohen who owns the famous Red Bus Recording Studios in London, reserved a space for a month, and eventually emerged after finally producing a poignant song worthy of airplay and commercial release, from what was originally a rough iPad GarageBand recorded demo.[4] As well as the production of ‘Sydney’ all the other unreleased tracks were remastered at Red Bus Recording Studios in London.[2]
