Composed in 1967 during the sessions for their album “Horizontal”, this track stands as a fascinating anomaly. Unlike the psychedelic flourishes that adorned much of the album, “All My Christmases Came at Once” possesses a certain classic pop sensibility. Think of the early Beatles, with their infectious melodies and layered harmonies.
The song itself remains unreleased by the Bee Gees themselves, a curious fact considering the quality of the music. Perhaps it was deemed a tad too conventional for the direction the band was taking at the time. Nevertheless, the track found a home in 1967 with a group called The Majority, whose version even featured in the film “The Mini Mob”.

Intriguingly, the title itself sparks a sense of delightful bewilderment. “All My Christmases Came at Once” conjures an image of overwhelming joy, a feeling of receiving everything one ever desired in a single, glorious moment. One can’t help but wonder what this “everything” might be – is it a newfound love, a stroke of unexpected luck, or perhaps a culmination of long-held dreams?
