E.S.P. ist das 17. Studioalbum von den Bee Gees, das im September 1987 erschien und nach dem gleichnamigen Song benannt wurde.

Geschichte

Nach der Trennung von Polydor Records war E.S.P. das erste Studioalbum der Bee Gees, das von Warner Bros. herausgebracht wurde. Erstmals seit dem Album Main Course im Jahr 1975 fungierte wieder Arif Mardin als Produzent für ein Bee-Gees-Album. Die Aufnahmen fanden im Middle Ear Studio Miami Beach in den USA statt. Alle Songs wurden von der Band selbst geschrieben.

Von dem Album wurden bisher 4.500.000 Exemplare weltweit verkauft. In Europa war der Verkaufserfolg maßgeblich durch den Hit You Win Again getragen.
