Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Very Best Of The Bee Gees collects the brightest spots from one of pop's longest and most singular careers. When The Bee Gees released "New York Mining Disaster 1941", their first single, the easy melodicism and flawless three-part harmony--sung in broad North-of-England accents--sounded so like The Beatles that a rumour went around that it actually was the Fab Four in disguise. A back-handed compliment, but a telling one: from the start, The Bee Gees had real quality, and a feel for commercial pop that at least stood comparison with the greats. Ten years on, their transformation from earnest, tuneful geeks to hirsute, laid-back disco kings (around the time their manager happened to be producing a low-budget pop movie called Saturday Night Fever) didn't just resurrect their career, it made them the biggest group in the world. It's those songs that remain The Bee Gees' crowning glory: instantly appealing, produced and performed with the kind of precision that would shame NASA. --Taylor Parkes

Format:Audio CD
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. If you check out the USA Amazon.com, you will find the newly remastered version which is simply unbelievable!

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!

Best of the Bee Gees does exactly what it says on the label.
My personal opinion of the Bee Gees took a massive up-swing when one of the brothers finally stood up to Clive Anderson on National TV. Read more
