Best of the Bee Gees
I am glad that I purchased it new. Everything arrived in good condition. The music by the Bee Gees is the best. .


First Brothers Of Pop
Moving back to England from Oz, they got to swinging London, just in time. When The Bee Gees, first burst through radio in this country in 1967, they were already ten-year veterans in the music business. When the wonderful magic of: "New York Mining Disaster 1941" was heard on our radios, word quickly spread that this was some kind of Beatles, spin-off band. Barry, Robin and Maurice, were of course real people, but they were aware that this type of rumor, was the best marketing device of all, being compared to the Kings of the Hill!

The mothers of America, were tickled pink that these clean, good looking boys would be singing to their little boys and girls, and now would save them, from that dirty rock music from London and San Francisco, and R & B from Motown. The brothers Gibb, would smoke and drink, have sex with amazing girls and discover mind-expanding drugs. And they would be very low-key about all of that. When Jimi, was scaring our parents, The Bee Gees were plastered across all the girlie music mags like: "Sixteen" because it is all about: IMAGE ~ IMAGE ~ IMAGE.

If that was the only thing going for The Bee Gees, I would not be posting any thoughts about them forty years on, they would be in that: "Where are they now file. " The Bee Gees wrote and performed some amazing pop music, that was as good or better than almost everybody else of that time.

With the hits: "I Started A Joke", "World", "Massachusetts", "Holiday", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" "Words" and "New York Mining Disaster 1941" all being from 1967-1968, the brothers had a lifetime of hit music in barely two years. You COULD listen to Cream or Iron Butterfly, then play: "Odessa" in 1969, this was allowed, it didn't break any rules of cool.


The real deal here is that these songs hold their water as great pop tunes, still today. These brothers are more than great teeth and hair, they have the songs, and the talent to perform them perfectly.

This is a faithful {with the subsitution of: "Spicks & Specks" with: "Tomorrow, Tomorrow" for copyright reasons} duplicate of the 1969 LP, that I played to death. This is good music, and The Bee Gees, do have a place in music along with Deep Purple and The Flying Burrito Brothers.

Good, will always hold up and will stay alive. . . The Bee Gees, were just starting up here, there was lot's more to come.
Four Stars !!!.


A great easy listener collection
I like this CD. . pre-Disco era though I have been known to boogie to "Stayin' Alive". . . it is a soft collection of the Bee Gees first greatest hits. My personal favorites are "I've Gotta Get a Message To You", "Massachusetts" and "Words", but the whole album is good.

Quick question for you Bee Gees fans. . . who is the fourth face on the cover of this album? We all know Barry, Robin and Maurice, but there is a fourth member shown here and I've always wondered.


Proof that Bee Gees are much more than a disco dynamo

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. The early Bee Gee's are so good, it's a shame their career is judged by the disco days only.
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"

The "hook," if you want to call it that, is "Holiday," and "I started a joke. Delicately recorded and mournfully sung, these choice cuts from the early years of the Bee Gees belong in any serious record collector's stash. " 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.
