This is a great compilation of Bee Gees classics together with a nice DVD of videos. If you don't already own the individual CDs, this is a nice way to get the top hits in one shot. And if you like this album, I highly also recommend a just-released Bee Gees tribute album by The Somebodys which features top UK producers and singers delivering R&B/soul covers of 10 Bee Gees hits. You can get the lead track "Inside Out" and the rest of the MP3 album on Amazon here: Inside Out Have a listen!

Format:Audio CD
Bought this double CD for my dad. It is great because the first CD is all the modern stuff while the second is the older stuff - although my dad perfers the older stuff my mum has the chance of listening to the more recent stuff on CD1. Excellent selection of music.

Has it really been 50 years? After `Greatest Hits', `Number 1s', `Love Songs', `Greatest Hits: The Record' and `The Very Best Of' issued in the last decade comes another compilation of Bee Gees songs, this time in celebration of that anniversary, the misnomer triple disc `The Ultimate Bee Gees'. (Okay, the first of the others mentioned was a reissue with some unreleased remixes added, but all bar six of the songs on this current package are available on those previous CDs, and four of those six are 'in concert'.) As with every 'hits' compendium - and let's be honest, this is what this is - there will always be those asking why certain tracks are missing and others included, and `Ultimate' is no different, which is why I believe it has a misleading title.
However, though you can get a two-disc version, this deluxe edition has another disc included. Most people will have the 40 songs on a variety of releases but it's that third disc where things become interesting. Actually, it's a DVD containing eighteen tracks from November 1966 through to 1997 but not, surprisingly, in chronological order, something of which the audio discs are equally culpable. Of those eighteen videos, the final ten are regular promo clips with six regularly shown on a multitude of music channels and the ones for 'Alone', 'Still Waters', 'One' and 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' being less common. But it's the first half of this DVD which proves the most fascinating. `Spicks and Specks' is from Australian television and has a slightly extended middle, `New York Mining Disaster' is a promo that sees Barry wearing a jacket three sizes too big, `Message' is from the Idea TV Special (no, me neither); `Tomorrow Tomorrow' and `Lonely Days' are both promo films but the latter has an entirely different vocal to that found on CD, `How Can You Mend A Broken Heart' is from a Roger Whittaker show called, as it says in the accompanying booklet, Whitaker's World of Music (sic) and has a live vocal, whilst `Run to Me' is a mimed performance from a US TV show, In Sessions. The final video of `Massachusetts' is the one from the Christmas edition of Top of the Pops from 1967 and is something you may have already seen. The quality on the early stuff is a bit scratchy, which is probably as expected, but that in no way distracts from their value. It will be a very short line when those who have actually seen these form a queue.
Yes, there has to be commercial prospects considered with anything but to call something ultimate when it isn't is just silly. Though some of this sounds as if it has been remastered, studio and live tracks have never been attractive bedfellows and the three that are tagged onto the second CD (plus the one on CD1) are out of place. Use the studio versions! There is one caveat with this package. Whatever blurb you may read, this is not a `box set' at all. For those expecting something along the lines of `Tales from the Brothers Gibb', or even `Odessa', be prepared for a disappointment; it's a fold out cardboard sleeve inside a cardboard slipcase.
So, in a nutshell. If you're a diehard Bee Gees fan, get this for the DVD; if you're not, get it anyway. The music is superb!
