"The Bee Gees" was the first EP released by the Bee Gees, it was released in September 1963 on Leedon label only in Australia.[1] The songs were recorded in February and June 1963 on Festival Studios in Sydney.[2]

The EP cover features the three brothers identically dressed in white shirts with dark ties, dark trousers, black 'winkle-picker' shoes and tartan waistcoats. The waistcoats are augmented by 'BG' lettering on the left side, which would become a trademark of their television appearances over the next two years.[3]
