Bee Gees version



The Bee Gees covered "Every Day I Have to Cry" as teenage recording artists in Australia. This version was recorded at Festival Studios in February 1965 and marked an important first for the group, Maurice Gibb playing organ, which was the first of many times he would contribute keyboards to the group's recordings. The record was backed with "You Wouldn't Know", a Barry Gibb original which was also featured later the same year on the group's first album, 'The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs'.

Both songs were included on the 1998 anthology of the group's Australian recordings 'Brilliant from Birth'.
