The Bee Gees, along with their co-producers Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson and band members Dennis Bryon (drums), Alan Kendall (guitar), and Blue Weaver (keyboards), found themselves in Hérouville in early 1977 to mix their forthcoming concert album, Here at Last.Bee Gees.Live, which they'd recorded at The Forum in Los Angeles in December 1976. Uriah Heep, Iggy Pop, Marvin Gaye, Fleetwood Mac, and Cat Stevens would follow suit at different points throughout the decade. Elton John was among the first notable pop musicians who crafted an album there-fittingly dubbed Honky Château. The historic Château d'Hérouville, which was painted by Vincent Van Gogh in the summer of 1890 shortly before his death and was reportedly a residence of Frédéric Chopin, was eventually converted into a recording studio in the early 1970s. It might surprise some that the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack's inception happened rather unassumingly in an eighteenth-century estate in the French countryside, well over three thousand miles away from the Brooklyn streets with which it became synonymous. Happy 45th Anniversary to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, originally released November 15, 1977.
