Best of Bee Gees

Amazon.com
Long before they reinvented themselves as the kings of Saturday Night Fever, The Bee Gees were an amazing Australian trio singing songs that were more rooted by lilting folk guitar melodies than dance floor beats. The high, almost falsetto, harmonies were in place even in their hits of the mid- and late-1960s. The melodicism of hits like "Holiday" and "I've Gotta Get a Message to You" had a darker, even eerie, quality compared to the more typically melancholy "To Love Somebody." Comparing the music on Best of the Bee Gees, Volume I to the later antics of the Brothers Gibb is the proverbial apples and oranges. It's clear that the boys truly knew how to craft a hit regardless of the genre, but it does beg the question, "Will the real Bee Gees please stand up?" While both periods have their moments, the smart money seems to be on their earlier work. --Steve Gdula

endless great hits.......2007-07-06

Anyone who grew up with the Bee Gees knows that their music will last forever. Beautiful voices, unique harmony, songs that never seem to grow old. Whether you're in your 20's or 90's, they have songs that eveyone seems to enjoy.

Proof that Bee Gees are much more than a disco dynamo.......2007-02-18

The early Bee Gee's are so good, it's a shame their career is judged by the disco days only.
2 songs sold me to early Bee Gee's Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You is just as good as the Moody Blues complete w/mellotron and gregorian chants way before enigma and actually before the moody blues.
New York Mining Disaster- It's so good, it's like a lost Beatles song from Help or something.

Bee Gees album is "but good".......2006-11-03

Delicately recorded and mournfully sung, these choice cuts from the early years of the Bee Gees belong in any serious record collector's stash.
The "hook," if you want to call it that, is "Holiday," and "I started a joke." Both selections ask us to use our heads as to what the lyrics really mean. And somehow, it adds to one's enjoyment. Culled from master tapes before "Saturday Night Fever," the cuts demonstrate musicality that is a departure from their disco peroid -- and they are simply refreshing to hear againn.

Get the DVD Instead.......2006-01-22

If you like these songs, get the DVD "One Night Only" where they peformed most of these with a good band an they sound GREAT.

Bee Gees at their best.......2005-09-01

This is the Bee Gees at their best, during their dark early years.

New York Mining Disaster is about men trapped underground, coming to gripes with their mortality, I've got to get a message to you is about a condemed man on his last mile. the list goes on with wonderful gems. Holiday, I Can't See Nobody Listen Listen and I Started a Joke. There's the classic Words that I think is a perfect song. Massachusetts is a very touching song as well.

This CD was released approximately the same time as the four disc box set, but only in Europe. It covers the years of 1967 to 1979 with only the major hits. It's a nice greatest hits CD if you don't want to be bothered with the extraneous minor hits and album cuts of the Box Set. It was already well mixed at the first printing - but this remastered version is amazing!

Too Much Is Missing.......2006-02-02

The opportunity for a killer single disc Bee Gees greatest hits collection has somehow been missed. Other collections focus only on the early (pre disco) period or only the disco period. "1's" misses too many great hits. Only "The Record" has everything, but it's two discs.

This could have been the elusive single disc that collects the very cream of the crop, but it isn't. I can understand one or even two omissions, but consider the songs omitted here: Holiday, I Started A Joke, Lonely Days, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, My World, Fanny, Love So Right, Love You Inside Out. That's an omission of eight of their biggest hits. Most of these were Billboard Top Tens. Instead we get "hits" that didn't crack the Billboard top 40 (except one at # 37) like World, First Of May, Don't Forget To Remember, Saved By The Bell, You Win Again, and Ordinary Lives. If those titles don't ring a bell, trust me, you won't recognize them when you play the CD either.

By replacing the major hits that were omitted with the minor (or non) hits that were included, this really would have been "The Very Best Of The Bee Gees". Since no such single disc collection exists yet, this isn't bad, there's still a lot of good stuff. But if you want all of the big hits, you're only option currently is to spring for the double disc "The Record".

Great cover, bad price.......2004-12-10

This collection is the third of the Very Best of the Bee Gees, and the songs started from the 1969s till 1989s. All songs are greatest hits, and beloved by millions of people. If you are a collector, this is a buy right now CD, and not recommended for normal listeners. Reason1 - Too expensive Reason2 - Not extensive
Recommendation to this collection is Tales From the Brother Gibbs.

Another Greatest Hits Album............2003-04-23

Well worth a listen. All there greatest hits are on this album. All there classic hits. I love Maurice's hit "Don't forget to Remember Me" which is a sad song to hear since Maurice's sudden untimely death. There's not one song of his that I don't like. I will always miss this sweet man. All in all you won't be disappointed if you buy this album. Happy listening.

Of the 2 best-of discs covering the Bee Gees' pre-disco pop hits, it's the first volume that's the definitive collection. But, this 14-song follow-up is a nice companion piece, boasting several prime examples of the Gibb Brothers' emotion-drenched, vintage songcraft. Alongside "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," "Lonely Days," and "Run to Me"--all hits from the tail end of the threesome's original run at the charts--Best of Bee Gees, Vol. 2 features such sumptuous standouts as "Melody Fair," "Morning of My Life," "And the Sun Will Shine," and Robin Gibb's gorgeously melodramatic British solo hit "Saved by the Bell." --Scott Schinder

Don't Judge a book by it's cover.......2007-02-18

Never mind the mid 70's cover with the disco chest hair and open shirts.
THis is the Bee Gees circa 1969-72 way before that disco photo session on the cover of this CD. Inside their is some of the best pop music ever recorded in that era. Highlights are...
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart? - Big hit and the comeback
Melody Fair - from the great red-felt Odessa
Saved by the Bell- Robin solo recorded after he quit the group during Odessa, #1 in the UK
Run to Me - the end of an era, BD before disco.

Excellent Compilation!.......2005-05-04

This is an excellent compilation and and great follow-up to Greatest Hits Vol. 1. The album in CD format is the same as the original vinyl release except for some unknown reason, they left off Wouldn't I Be Someone, a very superb recording. However, it is found on the boxed set. I definately would recommend this to any Bee Gees fan.

Not many big hits but interesting.......2005-04-27

This compilation includes the best of their music from mid-1969 to 1972. This period started with Saved by the bell (a Robin Gibb solo) and Don't forget to remember (perhaps my favorite Bee Gees song), both of which reached number two on the UK charts. They had little success for some time after that. In 1970, I O I O scraped into the top fifty, but Lonely days did better, making the top forty. In 1971, they didn't enter the UK charts at all. 1972 was better with My world making the top twenty and Run to me making the top ten. They had never really established themselves in America with their sixties pop-folk music and the songs from this collection didn't change that.
So this album may be seen by some as the best of a bad period in the careers of the Bee Gees. In fact, there are many good songs in this collection. I particularly like Melody fair and Morning of my life. Are the songs really weaker than those on the earlier volume, or is it just that people were tired of the style and wanted something different from the Bee Gees? It is probably a bit of both.

If you enjoy the earlier Best of Bee Gees, you are likely to also enjoy this - but not quite as much.

Some additional Comments to fellow BGs Fan.......2004-08-27

Agree with most of the comments you see in this review section. Want to add that the most interesting part of this CD is the inclusion of "My World" and "Melody Fair". "My World" topped the chart outside US when it came out and just blew the world away. It's like everywhere you went, you heard it on the radio, street corner cafe shop, taxi cab. The song demonstrated the range of Robin as he carried the tune for most part and the two other brothers provided chorus. "Melody Fair" was really the title track to an English movie of the same name as Barry Gibb wrote the score for the movie. That movie was a major hit worldwide of puppy love theme, in a way the movie made this song more popularly accepted. American fan may be less aware of this song.

Best of Volume 2 is so Mellow, Itýs cool........2004-03-28

Best of Volume 2, while having a hideous cover, superbly collects the best of the Bee Gees mellow sound. 1973 was a down year for the Brothers. United, but almost artistically bankrupt, BV2 stretches back to 1968 for material.
Wouldn't I Be Someone leads off Side One and was the proposed single from the unreleased A Kick In The Head Is Worth Eight In The Pants. Indeed this is probably the best of that bunch, with Barry and Robin alternating this moody tune. And imagine when I discovered the lyrics inside this sleeve! Alone these sounds are so great to cry to, but when you also have the words to actually read along, everything takes on a whole poetic feel. The interlude sung by Robin `Midnight stars are shining on my shoeshine...' almost sounds like a child contemplating his sad fate. This combined with the instrumental arrangement is ingenious.

IOIO is the complete opposite of Someone It's such an upbeat reggae style song, yet they lyrics are actually very sad. You can be happy and sing along or be sad and sing along and nobody around would know the difference. My World was a previously unreleased cut that found its way here. Despite this odd mix of old and rare, there are several gems here. This is one of them. It's lyrics are plain and simple-mine, yours, ours, what else is there? Yet the three-part harmony is so smart and complex. Great juxtaposition.
Instead of sweeping their prior split under the rug, The Bee Gees embraced it. Saved By The Bell and Don't Forget To Remember are added here to represent Robin, then Barry and Maurice, respectively ;0). With Bell, Robin almost sounds like a bell. The rhyme scheme and orchestral mix showed he could hold his own. Again hearing this on record just sounds so 1970 it's cool. Don't Forget To Remember also has some great lines from Barry and Maurice that just belong on record. There isn't much Maurice on this compilation, which I would normally For Shame! However, the tone here is the one of crying alone in the dark, which who is better for that than Quaver Robin or Breathy Barry?

My word if ever a song was meant for the record player and the record player alone it has to be And The Sun Will Shine! The slight pops and hisses and slight flat tone of the record just put the mellow sound over the top. Never mind those lyrics of trees, skies, love, and life! The song starts off slow, almost with no music. It's almost as if Robin were right here whispering in your ear. Then you look at the vinyl spinning and it sends chills up your spine.
Oh Run To Me is just darling. The guitar and vocal work here is marvelous. The lyric of 'Run to me, whenever you're lonely' is just so fitting. You're feeling down and out, put on The Bee Gees to console you.
I hadn't heard Man For All Seasons before my first listen here. In fact, I need to look up what album it originally came from, but it's pretty good darn good. Again harmony and rhyme, can anybody do it better?

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart leads off Side Two with its monster self. Barry and Robin poured the feelings about their rift into this song and came out with one of life's two biggest questions. (The other being How Deep Is Your Love? 80)=) ) The Boys can't give you the answers, but they make the questions a bit easier to deal with. Like How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Don't Want To Live Inside Myself is also from Trafalgar. Where Heart is more reflective and questioning, Don't Want To Live Inside Myself is almost dark, edgy, angry, yet soft somehow. You almost feel sorry for it, but love it at the same time. Barry's soul delivery and the rock hard music parallel this feeling.
I'm going to be in tears doing this review! Everyone needs a good cry! Melody Fair again moves you by reflecting its lyrics in the music. When Melody sees the rain, the music sounds like raindrops. Maurice's harmonizing here is awesome. It seems to also reflect the story of Melody and the issues she's hiding under the surface. %^&*$% good!

Although they had to stretch for material, 1968's Let There Be Love fits the track list here. The musical and vocal arrangement is very orchestral. When Barry's vocal crescendo comes, you wonder how he can possibly top it, but
Robin joins in and the song rises to a whole nother level. Yes why can't there be love? Let there be love!
Now, ahem, the one rocking testament on Best of Volume 2 is Lonely Days. Written on the same day as How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, the Boys speak of their wives being their only saving graces during the band's split. It's so raw and real, human nature at its high and low described perfectly in song.
Next is In The Morning, or rather as it's entitled here Morning of My Life. This seems to be the version used for the Melody soundtrack. I personally like the original version on the 63-66 compilations better, but the slower rhythm here is ubermellow. Where the original version is more quirky, here however, it feels just like you've stayed up all night. The sunrise and rainbow you see are so beautiful, but somehow bittersweet. Now, anybody who's ever done that and felt that way, did you ever think there would be a song to describe that feeling? I know The Bee Gees rock!

Alive starts out bittersweet like In The Morning, but it quickly picks up with its affirming beat and lyrics. As crazy as this album can make you, Alive turns everything around and tastefully flips the bird at the mellow sound. It's so what! lyrics almost prep the Brothers Gibb for the kick-ass that was to come.
The early seventies were a very slow and mellow period for the Bee Gees, almost too mellow. However, mellow can serve its purpose, and Best Of Volume 2 is indeed a collection of the best. Try and find it on record, then save it for a rainy day. My Mom calls it `tin-e', whatever that means.

Sounds GREAT..........2006-11-16

I am going to review many Time-Life items that I have purchased over the years - Sounds of the 70's, Sounds of the 70's (Take Two), Legends of Rock & Roll, numerous 60's CDs & 50's CDs. The recordings are excellent and I know all the tunes - most have at least 18 songs. I would recommend any of Time-Life's compilations to anyone, who is looking for a great CD with alot of songs, we all know. The only complaint I have is that the CDs should have been maximized on the 50's & 60's selections. All in all, a very good purchase...

Mostly the sixties and seventies.......2005-05-25

The Bee Gees began in the sixties and continued making music into the new millennium. Along the way, they had many hits of their own but also (as songwriters) provided plenty of hits for others. This set chronicles their own hits from the sixties to the nineties. It cannot be as comprehensive as the more recent double-CD (Record - Their greatest hits) but it is different from the even more recent compilation of number ones.

The first ten tracks cover their folk-pop period of the sixties and early seventies. Their impact on the American charts in this period was somewhat patchy, but most of these reached the UK top ten, while Massachusetts and I've gotta get a message to you both topped the British charts. My favorites from this period are Don't forget to remember and First of May. Saved by the bell was a Robin Gibb solo. To love somebody was a huge UK hit for Nina Simone as well as being a minor UK hit for the Bee Gees. In some other countries, the Bee Gee Gees had a much bigger hit with their own version of the song. Apparently, they originally offered the song to Otis Redding but he chose not to record it.

The public lost interest in the Bee Gees after a few years, so they got into disco music and this made them bigger UK stars than they had been before, while making them huge stars in America. My favorite tracks from this period (represented by the next nine tracks) are How deep is your love and Too much heaven, while Staying alive, Night fever and Tragedy were also major international hits.

Only two other tracks are included here. The first, You win again, gave them a UK number one hit in 1987. And yes, it is an original song, not to be confused with the similarly titled Hank Williams classic. The final track, Ordinary lives, became a minor UK hit in 1989, a few months before this compilation was originally released. Maybe the record label thought the Bee Gees were finished but they had four UK top five hits during the nineties - not spectacular but better than they achieved during the eighties even though they have (so far) never had another UK number one.

This is an excellent collection of Bee Gees music that will particularly appeal to those who like their early folk-pop music. There are some omissions, but all the essentials of the sixties and seventies (from a UK perspective) are here. Buy the double-CD if you want a more comprehensive collection, otherwise this provides a wonderful introduction to the music of the Bee Gees.

Let me elaborate..........2003-03-27

Let me just say that a little more than a quarter of these exhalted songs have been upgraded to a more qualified sound. This album covers basically the Bee Gees best of the best to their first-shots that led them into glory.

Yes, maybe there may have been a few hits left out, but I'll assure you that this valuable Bee Gees cd cannot be surpassed because of its quality. Songs like Words, World, Massachusetts, NY Mining Disastar 1941, I've Just Gotta Get A Message To You, and a couple others have been thoroughly upgraded with better sound and absolutely no glitches.

Also, a couple of, now and only imported, songs like You Win Again and Ordinary Lives have been added to the masterful complilation to get an idea of the 80s style music of the Bee Gees.

This is truly the cd to get to hear the amazing upgraded Bee Gees compliation of hits that cannot be missed by the die-hard Bee Gees fan!

All of their greatest hits! (except for 3 songs.).......2002-08-17

I don't mean three songs on the cd. I mean three songs that are missing. I Started A Joke, Lonely Days, and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart are very surprisingly missing. But the rest are the BeeGees most greatest and most successful songs up to date. If you don't want to buy an album just for 2 or 3 hits, buy The Very Best of The BeeGees. My favorite songs in here are Nights on Broadway, Tragedy, and Too Much Heaven. I'm sure you'll love them, too!

Poor Man's Version Of The Box Set.......2001-08-27

This CD was released approximately the same time as the four disc box set, but only in Europe. It covers the years of 1967 to 1979 with only the major hits. It's a nice greatest hits CD if you don't want to be bothered with the extraneous minor hits and album cuts of the Box Set. Nicely remixed as well.

A Great Bee Gees CD.......2000-06-16

This CD is great, it has every thing that you could want from the Bee Gees in one nice package.
