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

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Collection!, 25 Feb 2003
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a true disco classic, 16 Nov 1999
By A Customer
For anyone who enjoyed Saturday Night Fever, this is an absolute must have cd. This is another cd that if you are looking at, you (hopefully) already know what you are getting into. If you are having doubts about buying it, wondering if any of the songs will really be familiar to other than Staying Alive, wondering how you can possibly bring this cd home to be laughed at - BUY IT!!! You will not regret owning this cd for an instant. This is one of the rare cd's that virtually anyone can relate to - be it from parties they went to as a youth or from theme parties they attended long after the disco years had ended. More than likely, virtually everyone still falls into the latter category. This cd is absolutely excellent and if you are looking at these reviews that means you are tempted to buy... Just do it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Bee Gees does exactly what it says on the label., 24 Feb 2001
By A Customer
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. Whatever it is: the sweet harmonies or canny knack of always being just ahead of the game, these Mmanchester bandoliers are always just too good for the critics. Whenever the chattering classes think they've finally nailed them into a corner, and that it's finally been proved beyond all reasonable doubt that the Bee Gees are naff, then they come back with one more reinvention that captures the time and the Nation's heart. While the rest of pop officialdom was going hippy on us, these boys were still shopping at Woolworths. When all around you were losing their heads......keep writing songs like New York Mining Disaster and Massachusetts. Inimitable classic ballads about.....er......industrial accidents and somewhere difficult to pronounce in America. Then when you're career's going down the tubes you make a concious effort to go back to your r&b roots in a completely revoloutionary way. Result; Some of the most hypnotic dance tracks ever produced like Night Fever, Stayin' Alive and Tragedy. The Bee Gees are more than a phenomenon, they are a testament to the very human qualities of self belief and persevering hard work, because when it comes down to it there is a market for impressively crafted harmonies and the human soap opera their lives sometimes resemble. The Very Best of.....showcases the two sides of the Band, the moody melodies and the foot tapping seventies disco classics. It also shows why Clive Anderson was so wrong......there is real public affection for the Salford songsmiths for the very real quality of their output and their equally admirable quality of overcoming personal hearttbeak and adversity to carry on delivering great music to us, the great British public.
