Recording
"The Change Is Made" is a rock ballad that was recorded in November 29, 1967 at IBC Studios, London with lead vocals by Barry Gibb. It was also the last song recorded which was included on the album, the others were later included on and the bonus disc of the remastered version of Horizontal in 2007. [1]
Barry has said that "The Change Is Made" was born out of the brothers' love of R&B. According to Robin Gibb: ""Otis Redding, and people like the Stax artists influenced some songs -- "I Can't See Nobody" and "To Love Somebody. I remember that was done at 2 o'clock in the morning. It started out as a writing session which – Barry evolved."[2]
