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

Album Description
The individual voices of the legendary Brothers Gibb—Maurice, Barry, and Robin—are each wonderfully distinctive in their own right. In combination, they lock together for extraordinary harmonies, perfectly blending and magically complementing each other. This vocal wizardry is at the heart of their phenomenal success, which spanned five decades and transcended multiple genres with chart-busting glory. From their Beatles-esque `60s roots and the subsequent flowering of their own progressive pop-rock songwriting and performance style through their blue-eyed R&B superstardom and Saturday Night Fever disco-era domination, the Bee Gees constantly evolved and never stopped delivering timeless hits. The trio's beautifully crafted, sonically enchanting work is one of the cornerstones of contemporary popular music, and this hit-packed compilation spotlights their career-spanning best.Customer Reviews:
well worth the money.......2007-07-24
The 70s... The Bee Gees... There's no one without the other.......2007-07-05
This collection has (almost) all of their greatest hits... The most romantic and even the "Disco" ones (how can you mend your broken heart, without dancing 'Stayin' Alive' once again? Come on...!!!)
I suggest you to get this one, unless you're so lucky to get that wonderful 4-CD box collection issued some years ago...

don't forget to rememeber these songs.......2007-07-20
The Greatest Hits Bee Gees album: The Record.......2007-06-16
The best inclusions in this are: "Spicks & Specks", "Immortality", "Heartbreaker", as well as all the "Saturday Night Fever" classics like "How Deep is Your Love" and "Night Fever". For the hopeless romantics there's even "Guilty", the duet with Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb. Who could ask for anything more? Not me. This album is great and you should buy it, put it on and you should be dancing.
The BEST of the BeeGees.......2007-04-11
Great value for your money, 42 hits on two disks. Better than buying the sound track from Saturday Night Fever, as if.. this is the group that defined that movie.
Ok, so I'm not some sophisticated music critic but I grew up humming this stuff and now I use it to cut out the noise at work. Feel good, get up and get working music. What's not to like?
Shows Why The Bee Gees Were So Successful.......2007-03-12
I read a reviewer who suggested they put the older songs on one disc and the disco on the other. One problem is that this is chronological for the most part (though the final track, "Spicks and Specks", was actually an older song), so they needed to do it the way they did to have room for the newer songs.
It includes several covered songs, and most of them were better by the covered artist ("Love Me" and "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman and "Emotion" by Samantha Sang are examples). One missing song is "Come On Over", which was a hit by Olivia Newton-John and sang by the Bee Gees on their live album.
My favorite Bee Gee hits were "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" and "Tragedy", with "Words", "Lonely Days", "Run To Me", "Jive Talkin'", "Stayin' Alive", :One", and "Spicks & Specks" also being tracks I like.
THE BEE GEES AND ALL THEIR GLORY HITS........2007-03-10
I will be writing a review on the legendary Two-CD compilation album entitled "THE BEE GEES, THEIR GREATEST HITS, THE RECORD" by one of Rock's greatest legendary bands. I give you one of Australia's many pride and joy's, the one and only, THE BEE GEES. This legendary compilation album was originally released in 2001 on Compact Disc on the Polydor Records label in association with Universal Records, a division of UMG Recordings Inc. and UTV Records. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.
Australia would give Rock n' Roll some of its greatest acts. You have the legendary and beautiful OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN and the hard a*s kicking Rock n' Roll Band AC/DC. But before them, you would have THE BEE GEES to begin the Australian Invasion of the whole world. THE BEE GEES have been in the music business now for well over forty years with worldwide record sales exceeding well over 180 million and still counting. And get this, THE BEE GEES are officially in the TOP 5 MOST SUCCESSFUL RECORDING ARTISTS OF ALL-TIME. THE BEE GEES will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for kicking Disco into high gear and recording some of the greatest Disco songs for the extremely successful groundbreaking movie soundtrack landmark album "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" in 1977. To this very day, the "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" soundtrack album remains in the Top 3 as the all-time most successful album ever released of its kind. This legendary soundtrack album also remains as one of Rock's greatest achievements and contributions in Rock n' Roll history. What can I say about the Gibb brothers that hasn't already been said. When brothers Barry Gibb on vocals and guitar , Robin Gibb on vocals and the late great Maurice Gibb on vocals, bass, guitar and keyboards joined forces in the 60's, a Rock n' Roll revolution and Corporation was about to be born and take Rock n' Roll by storm. Who would have believed that THE BEE GEES would have been as big and as successful as they became in the 1970's and beyond that would be felt to this very day. You can almost truly say that THE BEE GEES were almost as big as life itself. With that in mind, you can say that THE BEE GEES and MICHAEL JACKSON are the only acts that would ever come close in comparison to the screaming lungs of BEATLEMANIA. Even the youngest brother, the late great ANDY GIBB would enjoy a very successful solo career as one of the greatest teen idols of not just the 70's, but of all-time. ANDY GIBB would record successful hit songs in the 70's such as the incredible "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" and the breathtaking "Shadow Dancing." If that wasn't enough, ANDY would also co-host one of TV's most popular shows in the 70's with MARILYN MCCOO called SOLID GOLD. However, it would be ANDY GIBB'S older brothers that would forever strike gold and give Rock n' Roll some of its greatest hits of all-time. THE BEE GEES have recorded many great albums and have released many great hit singles to back their albums up through the years between the period of 1967 to 2001. This Two-CD set compilation album highlights all of THE BEE GEES great hit singles from that period. In my opinion, this legendary compilation album is a true testament of three extremely talented brothers who dared to change the sound of Rock n' Roll forever and a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary band that was indeed, far ahead of their time.
Now it is time to let THE BEE GEES legendary music speak for itself and do all of the talking. On DISC ONE, this legendary compilation album begins with THE BEE GEES first phase from the 1960's with the rare 60's hit single "New York Mining Disaster 1941," the legendary slow beautiful soothing orchestrated "To Love Somebody," the slow beautiful orchestrated "Holiday," the beautiful breathtaking orchestrated mellow "Massachusetts," the slow beautiful loud and mellow "World," the amazing and incredible smooth orchestrated number "Words," the forever beautiful orchestrated mellow number "I've Gotta Get A Message To You," the beautifully crafted mellow number "I Started A Joke," the beautiful tear drops orchestrated mellow number "First Of May," the rare beautiful mellow orchestrated "Saved By The Bell," the mindblowing rare beautiful orchestrated number "Don't Forget To Remember," the forever BEE GEES trademark 60's mellow Rocker "Lonely Days," the forever slow beautiful orchestrated mellow Rocker and one of my most favorite BEE GEES songs ever, "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," the slow groundbreaking mellow Rocker "Run To Me," and the hit single that would forever begin the legendary BEE GEES second phase and 70's Disco sound craze, the funkish "Jive Talkin'," the soulful funkish heartfelt "Nights On Broadway," the beautiful mellow "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)," the forever slow beautiful and mellow and another one of my personal favorites "Love So Right," the original BEE GEES composition that gave Yvonne Elliman her first number one hit, "If I Can't Have You," another one of my personal favorites, the slow beautiful soulful smooth soothing number "Love Me" and the forever BEE GEES trademark Disco classic that would jump start Disco and help contribute in leading John Travolta to unheralded and unmatched stardom, "You Should Be Dancing." END OF DISC ONE.
DISC TWO takes where DISC ONE left off with the lead song that would begin the "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" soundtrack and the film, the mighty and incredible in its original long version, "Stayin' Alive," another one of my most dearest and most favorite BEE GEES slow songs ever, the slow and one of the most beautiful breathtaking songs ever, "How Deep Is Your Love," the killer genuine Disco classic from the 1977 "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" soundtrack with a pinch of Rock n' roll "Night Fever," another one of my personal favorites, the original BEE GEES song that gave TAVARES another hit that is also included on the soundtrack album, the genuine original and beautiful BEE GEES version of "More Than A Woman," the rare and synthesized filled number that became a hit for SAMANTHA SANG, the groundbreaking sizzler "Emotion," the forever beautiful harmonizing BEE GEES trademark soulful number "Too Much Heaven," the synthesizer filled fast paced "Tragedy," the beautiful harmonizing funkish soulful heartfelt "Love You Inside Out," one of the Top 5 best duets of all-time, the slow and beautiful Barry Gibb/Barbara Streisand love song "Guilty," the well recorded danceable synthesized number "Heartbreaker," the BEE GEES composition that became a successful number one hit for KENNY ROGERS AND DOLLY PARTON, the original BEE GEES version of "Islands In The Stream," the incredible synthesized "You Win Again," the danceable and soulful number "One," the uplifting synthesized "Secret Love," the slow beautiful and well sung "From Whom The Bell Tolls," the slow positive atmospheric acoustic number "Alone," the slow beautiful synthesized number "Immortality," the breathtaking acoustic Rocker "This Is Where I Came In" and the rare 1966 early BEE GEES classic song "Spicks & Specks." WOW! This was sure a long collection to review. May I also add that all three BEE GEES band members contributed beautiful harmonizing vocals which complimented and added more raw and crisp soothing sounds that uplifted and boosted the music to another level. I would like to also add that Barry Gibb's gifted falsetto vocal ranges are the only vocals that I would match next to Brian Wilson of THE BEACH BOYS. It is so amazing listening to all of these legendary songs together in one collection. Listening to these songs is like being in a time capsule in bringing back so many memories from my youth. I can't help but describe their slow songs as being beautiful especially since they truly are. I actually got teary eyed listening to all of the BEE GEES hits and I'm sure it will do the same for all of you too.
Overall, this is one of the Top 5 greatest compilation albums ever assembled together by anyone. In my opinion, if you want to listen to all of THE BEE GEES greatest hits, get this collection, you will listen for yourself how far THE BEE GEES have come a long way and matured with time and age. Their music only improved and kept getting better as time rolled on as this collection will definitely attest to that.
I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary compilation album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary compilation album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished by everyone for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one BEE GEES compilation album that all devout music collector's will not want to be without. However, there are other greatest hits packages by this artist that you might want to research further into and purchase other than or besides this compilation album.
In closing, there are more than 500 cover versions of Gibb songs that have been recorded by other artists. THE BEE GEES would continue to record great albums and release outstanding hit songs throughout their whole glorious career. THE BEE GEES would also play to pack houses with their sold out concerts the world over for many years. With this in mind, all was well in THE BEE GEES world until the unthinkable happened. With the untimely passing of original BEE GEE co-founder and beloved brother Maurice Gibb, THE BEE GEES would lose a very important key role and element in THE BEE GEES sound and music. Listening to their music, it is also very apparent to me that THE BEE GEES music did matter and truly made a difference in my life as well as many other people's lives. In reality, THE BEE GEES will forever live in my heart as those three talented brothers that gave us everything they had and revolutionized the sound of Disco and Rock n' Roll forever in the process. With that, THE BEE GEES will forever leave their mark in Rock n' Roll history and will never be forgotten. So here's to you Barry, Robin and the late great Maurice. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. THE BEE GEES FOREVER. R.I.P. MAURICE ERNEST GIBB, Born 22 December 1949, Died 12 January 2003 at age 54. Also R.I.P. ANDREW ROY GIBB, Born 5 March 1958, Died 10 March 1988 at age 30. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

Great Album.......2004-12-23
The sound is so great--every is song is remastered--they all sound better. I have The Best of the Bee Gees CD album that sounds good, but the Bee Gees Record: TGH sounds 10 times better than that.
My World, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, and all the rest have such a better sound to it.....Sharper, clearer, bolder, and just plain elegant.
Heartbreaker, Islands in the Stream, Emotion---all new recordings from 2001. Heartbreaker, I thought, sounded like early 90s but it wasn't---Barry's voice sounds a little bit younger compared to songs from the Still Waters album. Still a great song, though, don't get me wrong---mid-slow paced, Bee Gees type song. Islands in the Stream is a Robin solo, slow paced but more techno-like....good song though. Emotion is a good replica of the 1977 Emotion done with Samantha Sang and the Bee Gees---another good song (both are).
Yeah, like the songs World, Stayin' Alive, More Than a Woman, and many others have slightly extended fades (like when the song ends).
On the Import cd of Bee Gees: Their Greatest Hits, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is the Robin-sung version---I think when I bought this CD, at the time, it was too late for the old version of How Can You Mend a Broken Heart; earlier versions of the import cd had it....but that's ok--this album is plenty good, the music is so much better in terms of the clarity and sharpness. This album dominates all other albums by the Bee Gees--it's that good.
35 Years - The Definitive Collection!.......2004-05-06
In some cases, critics have arguable compared this to the "Beatles I" released last year. It's not far off. Containing no less than (19) #1 hits written by the Bee Gees and (11) of these recorded by them, it is an impressive set. None of the other songs fell below the Top 30 either in the USA or Europe; an excellent gauge to choose the best singles from well over 50 choices.
The Bee Gees own versions of hits recorded by others fare well enough, but lack the exhuberance of the originals. "Emotion" doesn't reach the heights of Samantha Sang's or Destiny's Child's versions and "Immortality", unfortunately sounds like a demo. Only "Islands In The Stream" really kicks in with Robin leading an R&B version of the song that proves it was originally intended as soul, not just Country.
However, if this is the worst one can find in this remarkable set of (40) songs, that is saying a lot. There is no better proof of the incredible songwriting and harmonizing talent the three Brothers exhibit so easily. This is sure to be a historic item in anyone's collection. Who knows. It may even outsell "Saturday Night Fever" (and it really ought to).
Trivia note: This version sometimes has Barry Gibb singing the lead entry vocal on "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" and also includes the singles "My World" and "Jumbo" which were mysteriously omitted from the USA release.
