Best BeeGee’s collection out there. This has got the early stuff right on through to their reinvention as the heart and soul of disco, in that order, which is nice. It’s amazing how many great tunes they had. Unlike many best of collections that put filler music in, these guys had so many genuine hits they are all great songs here. They really needed two discs to present them all.

This is an awesome album of The BeeGees...my fav actually! There are 40 songs on it. If you dont want to collect all of their albums I would choose this one. There are many #1 hits old and new. Unfortunately it does not come in vinyl.

There is no consistency on this album, but don't let that put you off. You'll think you're listening to the Beatles on the first tracks, then we move into elevator music from the early Seventies, disco, middle-of-the-road musak for Streisand and Parton, and finally end up with the digital sound of their more recent hits. Yet there is one thing that holds the album together: phenomenal songwriting. I don't care who you are, it is inescapable that the Bee Gees are great songwriters. Track after track just gives you shivers - not major shivers, we are not talking about Led Zeppelin - but that gentle sense of watching the work of a true craftsman. I kept discovering new songs that I'd vaguely heard somewhere, but was now becoming addicted to. Odd little songs, but they just stay with you. Oh, and get to know "This Is Where I Came In," the penultimate track. It's an absolute classic. A textbook album for songwriters.Read full review
Except for missing "If Only I Had My Mind On Something Else," and the re-do of "Emotion" not having Samantha Sang as lead (likely for legal reasons), an excellent compilation of their early and later periods with several decent newer/less popular ones near the end. Already have some of the songs on old LPs & cassettes, but to have so many hits on a double CD is definitely a worthwhile Bee Gees compendium! The little history booklet included is a fun addition as well.
