Memories.......2007-03-08

It is so good to listen to this group as it matured to become the great writers they are. Having been a listener early on, this two-disc set is essential to gauge the growth in patterns and harmonies they displayed later in their careers. "Brilliant from Birth" may seem a little strong, but, in retrospect, "brilliant" is the word for the Bee Gees.

complete collection........2005-11-15

Three Kisses Of Love, The BeeGees Sing And Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs, Claustrophobia, Spicks and Specks, etc... all early albums/ compliations. And many many more. I had 3 of them before I finally found this, which has every single early recording of the BeeGees before theycame out with First. I Want Home, How Love Was True, You Wouldn't Know, I Was A Lover A Leader Of Men, Claustrophobia, and Big Chance some of my favorites. A couple of the tracks are not theirs. Just One Look and Daydream. Maybe that's why they don't sound that great, knowing it's not theirs. But still, forget about all those other compilations. Save some money and get this. You'll have all of them in one.

Most complete set of early recordings.......2003-02-21

With so many budget albums out there that have the early recordings of The Bee Gees in various combinations, it seemed difficult to get them all without having to many duplicates.
This double album makes it easy. Not all songs are all that great, but you can certainly follow the development of the typical early Bee Gees sound. I also like the cover versions of Lennon & McCartney songs they do on this album.
So if you want the very early stuff, buy this one - you won't need any other then.

Completes your BG collection.......2001-06-26

Well, here it is at last, after years of collecting bootleg cassettes, vinyls and cds and out of print compilations, nothing beats this, the complete collection of their early recordings before 1941 NY Mining Disaster. While this may be for completists and die-hard fans, you'll be surprised at the high quality material found in this package. At the tender age of 17, I think, Barry was a superb tunesmith, much better than Lennon-Mccartney in the early days, though BG sought to produce forgettable boring albums in the early 70s.

You'll find a lot of sweet love tunes here, and some mature and serious songs, And Children Laughing, Secondhand People and In the Morning being my favourites. However, I find it quite an embarrassment in those cover versions of Beatles songs and 50s oldies. Nonetheless, a definite buy for fans

The Latest Release From Festival Records "Down Under".......2001-06-06

Festival Records first released, "Birth Of Brilliance 1963-1966" in 1978 on a double LP. Later, in the mid-90's, it was released and remastered on a Double CD with 32 songs from the Bee Gees early Australian years.

Now Festival has released, "Brilliant From Birth" (Don't get confused) as another Double CD collection. The latter having 31 more songs on it (63 in total).

For the (price)extra, it is worth owning over "Birth Of Brilliance 1963-1966". The additional songs are more overdubs on prerecorded instrumentals, many from stage productions and standards ("Twelth Of Never"), ("You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You"), ("Somewhere"), etc. In themselves, they are unremarkable, save for the maturity and range of the Gibb Brothers vocals.

In all, this set contains mostly Bee Gees originals with Beatle's covers and standard songs from the late '50's and early '60's. The packaging is more appealing than the first collection and the liner notes are more interesting and up to date. The choice would be "Brilliant From Birth" over "Birth Of Brilliance". Confused? I was.
