Better still if the Eaten Alive song was cut altogether and another Gibb song [[eg Islands in The Stream - originally written with Diana in mind I think) had replaced it. The album could have been renamed 'Experience'
She made so many terrible career choices in the 80's. Imagine turning down Islands in the stream and then accepting a way inferior song like Eaten alive just 3 years or so later.
