Editorial Reviews :
Don't look for a richly illustrated, critical essay-packed hagiography with this 40-track, double-disc overview of the Bee Gees recording career. In typical, telling fashion, the Brothers Gibb have eschewed such exercises in ego inflation and simply let the best of their remarkable body of music speak for itself. Through it all, their familiar voices lock together in the sort of transcendent, seemingly genetic harmony that few singers since the Everly Brothers (early Gibb inspirations) have managed. Beginning with the plaintive 1966 hit 'New York Mining Disaster 1941,' this set traces the Gibbs' journey from successful Beatles-era balladeers to '70s white R&B gods and the undisputed kings of disco (we're reminded here that their shrewd metamorphosis began with 'Nights on Broadway' and 'Jive Talkin''--long before the mega-success of 'Saturday Night Fever'). But even as that dance craze faded, again threatening to turn the Bee Gees into pop anachronisms, the Gibbs simply stepped out of the limelight for a while, turning their talents to MOR hit-making for the likes of Samantha Sang, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, and Dionne Warwick. Those hits ('Emotion,' 'Heartbreaker,' 'Islands in the Stream') are featured here in modern rerecordings by the band, along with the Streisand-Barry Gibb duet, 'Guilty.' And if the Gibbs haven't had much of an American chart presence in recent years, they remain superstars throughout the rest of the world, a richly crafted pop music presence that simply won't be denied. --Jerry McCulley
Buyer Reviews :
Aside from the 1991 box set, this is the best Bee Gees' CD you can buy if you want the whole picture.
From their late 60's tunes, to their slight comeback of the early 70's, to the Disco era where they dominated the charts, through to the 80's comeback tracks 'You Win Again' and 'One', up to the 90's tracks that culminated to the decade ending 'This Is Where I Came In'...this is the Ultimate collection of Bee Gees tracks.
All of your favorites are here!
Spicks and Specks, New York Mining Disaster 1941,To Love Somebody, Holiday, Words, I've Gotta Get A Message To You, Lonely Days, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Run To Me, Jive Talkin', You Should Be Dancing, If I Can't Have You, Saturday Night Fever tracks, To Much Heaven, Tragedy, Guilty, One, Alone, plus new recordings of Bee Gee classic recorded by other artists! Plus more! All of them are here!
This CD does not leave my CD player unless I take it out - which I haven't.
Bottom Line: If you are interested in the Bee Gees and don't want to spend the extra cash for either the box set of the 3 Best of packages, then get this. It is the Ultimate Bee Gees Collection!
