Spicks and Specks is the second studio album by the Bee Gees.^[1] It was released in November 1966, on Spin. Primarily written by Barry Gibb, the album includes the first Robin Gibb composition "I Don't Know Why I Bother With Myself" and a Maurice Gibb composition "Where Are You".

Unlike the previous album The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs, which had only contained three songs that had not previously appeared on singles and thus functioned more as a compilation, Spicks and Specks was an album of original songs.

In 1968, US ATCO and UK Polydor, under contract from Festival, reissued this album, re-sequenced, as Rare, Precious and Beautiful.
