With Over 110 Million Albums Sold, Seven Grammy Awards, 11 Lifetime Achievement Awards and the Only Group to have Five Songs in the Us Top 10 Simultaneously, the Bee Gees Are Undisputedly One of the Greatest Pop Groups of all Time. Here Are 38 of their Biggest Hits on a Double CD that Includes New Studio Recordings of 'islands in the Stream', 'emotion', 'immortality' and 'heartbreaker', Hits They Wrote for Other Artists. This Edition also Adds 'jumbo' and 'my World', Not Found on the USA Version. Review: Wonderful compilation. - If you like the BeeGees, like I do, you can't go wrong. Review: Look no further...this is definitely the collection you want - If you grew up in the 1970's you probably bought a lot of Bee Gees records. Just about everyone did. In fact, I could be wrong but as far as I can tell their string of 6 consecutive #1 hits in the late 70's is unprecedented. Elvis never did it. Neither did the Beatles, Elton John, Springsteen, Michael Jackson or for that matter Frank Sinatra. It was truly a remarkable run. If you grew up in the 1960's you also probably bought a lot of Bee Gees records. In those days they were a phenonenon on both sides of the Atlantic and in Australia as well. They have left us an incredible body of work. And without a doubt the finest collection of the Bee Gees is "The Record". Released by Universal in 2001, this 2 CD collection contains 40 of the groups biggest hits from their debut 1966 Australian single "Spicks and Specks" to the groups very final single release in 2001. Of course you will also find each and every one of the groups major chart hits including memorable tunes like "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", "Night Fever", "Nights on Broadway" and oh so many more. Aside from their obvious vocal skills, Barry Robin and Maurice Gibb were also very gifted and prolific songwriters. In fact, for all practical purposes the group only sang songs they themselves wrote. In fact, as far as I can tell the Gibbs penned every one of the tunes on these discs. Amazing! I would also like to recommend a few of my personal favorites including "I Started A Joke", "Fanny (Be Tender WIth My Love)" and the groups last Top Ten Hit "One" from 1989. "The Record" comes complete with a nicely done 12 page booklet recalling the glory days of this remarkable group. Sadly, we lost Maurice Gibb altogether too soon in 2003 at the age of 53. But "The Record" will allow us to celebrate rhe music of the Bee Gees for many years to come. Highly recommended!

Excellent 2 disc compilation
I read a review that described this item as the best compilation of the BeeGees, that contains their hit songs from the sixties through the nineties. Also included are some songs I never heard before, a nice surprise, especially the older ones. The melodic harmonies of their voices is most evident on the sixties songs, really stunning and unique. Included in the CD insert is info on each song, release dates and the author(s). Song words are not included so I bought a BeeGees songbook for guitar that mostly fills that bill. Excellent sound. Very happy that I read that Amazon review because I am very happy with this item.

Love this cd set!
I used to have this cd set when I was younger but lost both cds during a move. It made me sad because I’ve always been a fan of The Bee Gees. One day I looked it up and I found it on here so I had to order it. It came two days later and I played it in my car. Good old memories, I’m glad I ordered it! If you’re a Bee Gee’s fan order it!

The BEST of the BeeGees
If you love Disco go for it. This is the sound of that age. What is of course amazing is that you can still hear their music on the pop radio stations and not just in the elevator and grocery store. Great value for your money, 42 hits on two disks. Better than buying the sound track from Saturday Night Fever, as if.. this is the group that defined that movie. Ok, so I'm not some sophisticated music critic but I grew up humming this stuff and now I use it to cut out the noise at work. Feel good, get up and get working music. What's not to like?

Was mich am meisten ärgert im Zusammenhang mit dieser CD ist; das ich sie nicht früher gekauft habe! Fantastische Songs die mich an die 60er, 70er und 80er Jahre zurückblicken lassen. Und noch besser, jede Seite ca. 78 Minuten und alles Originalaufnahmen! Für den Preis die absolute Empfehlung!
