Album Description

The individual voices of the legendary Brothers Gibb—Maurice, Barry, and Robin—are each wonderfully distinctive in their own right. In combination, they lock together for extraordinary harmonies, perfectly blending and magically complementing each other. This vocal wizardry is at the heart of their phenomenal success, which spanned five decades and transcended multiple genres with chart-busting glory. From their Beatles-esque `60s roots and the subsequent flowering of their own progressive pop-rock songwriting and performance style through their blue-eyed R&B superstardom and Saturday Night Fever disco-era domination, the Bee Gees constantly evolved and never stopped delivering timeless hits. The trio's beautifully crafted, sonically enchanting work is one of the cornerstones of contemporary popular music, and this hit-packed compilation spotlights their career-spanning best.

Bee Gees greatest hits CD review.......2007-07-27

Whether a Bee Gees fan, a fan of lively "pick-me-up" music, or easy listening sounds - you will not be disappointed with this 2 CD pack - which is priced very well. Over 20 songs that start with their beginnings into the music scene, throught the disco era, and up to 2000. Their own renditions of several songs made famous by other artists are a surprise bonus.

well worth the money.......2007-07-24

these cd's cover the very best of the Bee Gees over the past 4 decades

The 70s... The Bee Gees... There's no one without the other.......2007-07-05

I cannot imagine my life as teenager in the 70s, without a reference to the Bee Gees music. These guys are great composers and surely, one of the best vocal groups of that era!
This collection has (almost) all of their greatest hits... The most romantic and even the "Disco" ones (how can you mend your broken heart, without dancing 'Stayin' Alive' once again? Come on...!!!)
I suggest you to get this one, unless you're so lucky to get that wonderful 4-CD box collection issued some years ago...

Complete BeeGees.......2007-07-03

Love this CD, it has all of the tunes that I've loved throughout the years. Just what I've been looking for.

Bee Gees.......2007-06-29

Awesome Cd!! Recieved it in record time and has lots of great songs on it!
Thank you!

Great.......2007-04-10

When I watched the Movie ther were Two songs I just had to have. So it was right up my alley when I found this Sountrack for the movie. with the 2 trcks that I've always wanted. I'm happy and relaxed.

Staying Alive DVD.......2006-03-21

I really like this movie....the dancing AND the music. Cynthia Rhodes is so talented. The story line is good; the ending is good. I will watch this movie again and again.

bee gees rock.......2005-09-01

Stayin alive is a great 70s song by the bee gees. John travolta worked in quite a few movie with the bee gees Like Grease and Saturday night fever. Those are all great movies. FROM ADAM

Little Know Fact, The Bee Gees were Staying Alive in the 80s.......2004-09-14

I admit I was one of those people who thought The Bee Gees came and went with disco. Naturally the brothers didn't, and the 1983 soundtrack Staying Alive is proof they still had their touch, whether the populous was ready to admit it or not.

Only six songs from the soundtrack are penned by the boys, and you'll have to forgive me for skipping over the other six songs by Frank Stallone, Cynthia Rhodes, and Tommy Faragher. (The last guy I don't even know who he is!) I don't care, I don't think you care. The movie is guilty pleasure cheese directed by Sly Stallone. Enough on that, let's move on.

I downloaded a few of these songs, and then I found the soundtrack on cassette. Oddly enough, the day I started this review I snagged the LP! Both formats present The Gibb tunes on Side A and the rest on Side B. The Woman In You leads off with a harsh edge to it. It's well put together but it doesn't sound like The Bee Gees from Living Eyes. Perhaps a tad too far in the rough and tumble direction.

I Love You Too Much, however, has that easy eighties vibe too it. It has some great lyrics and a recognizable Gibb sound. This might be the best song here. Lyrical balladry with a speedy track of music. The lyric of `under me is where you should be' then turned around as `under you is where I should be' symbolizes this either way style. Good stuff!
Breakout returns to this odd and rough vibe. The music overtakes Barry's vocals, which I think are about the same old surviving the city et al, but the lyrics and lack of harmony here are a miss.

Although this soundtrack didn't do as well as Fever for a number of reasons, one naturally being the song quality is a tad lower, but also, the movie and the music aren't as perfectly matched. Can anyone tell me where Someone Belonging To Someone is in the film? Granted It's been awhile, but the song is at least on par with How Deep Is Your Love, yet this ballad does not stick in my mind the way the How Deep sequence from Fever does. Someone's got a great hook and a sweet blended vocal sound to it and is worthy of much more than its second rate obscurity.
Life Goes On makes it into the plus column, and not just to give the album a split vote either, ;0) It's not comparable to More Than A Woman in quality, but similiar in style. The easy dance song with some good lyrics. Lyrics and Harmony that you can always hear and understand is a good thing.

And naturally we come to Staying Alive. I must admit this is a very symbolic and penne ultimate song that represents so much, that must be why it's been played to death! This is the one memorable part of the film, at the end where Travolta says he's feels like 'strutting' and does so into the credits. The song definitely has its place, and has indeed immortalized The Brothers Gibb. Just over and over I can't take all that clichéd Ah Ah Hah Hah Staying Alive Staying Alive. ARGH! People have come to think this is all The Bee Gees are about, and that is wrong.
Their contribution to this soundtrack may not exactly show why the Brothers are in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but its an integral part in the transition of the boys' move from Fever to producing for others, working solo, and progressing themselves. An easy find to complete your collection.

At Long Last.......2004-05-27

I watched this film for the first time in the early 80s. I still can remember all the songs and music performed by BeeGees and other artists featured in the film. I don't know why I did not buy the album back then. Curiously, the soundtrack seemed to disappear from the surface of the world ever since. I looked everywhere in Taiwan, and then in England when I worked there. But I did not find it in all the shops I visited. At long last, eureka! it's right here on the Amazon site. I am so happy to be able to order this soundtrack from Amazon. And I am looking forward to receiving it and enjoying the songs that have made this film so memorable. I can hardly wait for the beautiful and romantic scenes to come up in my mind when I play the CD and listen to the lovely songs again, following Laura and Tony's footsteps in the Central Park, in the musical "Satan's Alley".....P.S. This soundtrick is a must for all BeeGees fans, for I don't think you will find the 5 BeeGees songs featured in this soundtrack in other BeeGees albums.

Don't look for a richly illustrated, critical essay-packed hagiography with this 40-track, double-disc overview of the Bee Gees recording career. In typical, telling fashion, the Brothers Gibb have eschewed such exercises in ego inflation and simply let the best of their remarkable body of music speak for itself. Through it all, their familiar voices lock together in the sort of transcendent, seemingly genetic harmony that few singers since the Everly Brothers (early Gibb inspirations) have managed. Beginning with the plaintive 1966 hit "New York Mining Disaster 1941," this set traces the Gibbs' journey from successful Beatles-era balladeers to '70s white R&B gods and the undisputed kings of disco (we're reminded here that their shrewd metamorphosis began with "Nights on Broadway" and "Jive Talkin'"--long before the mega-success of "Saturday Night Fever"). But even as that dance craze faded, again threatening to turn the Bee Gees into pop anachronisms, the Gibbs simply stepped out of the limelight for a while, turning their talents to MOR hit-making for the likes of Samantha Sang, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, and Dionne Warwick. Those hits ("Emotion," "Heartbreaker," "Islands in the Stream") are featured here in modern rerecordings by the band, along with the Streisand-Barry Gibb duet, "Guilty." And if the Gibbs haven't had much of an American chart presence in recent years, they remain superstars throughout the rest of the world, a richly crafted pop music presence that simply won't be denied. --Jerry McCulley

The Greatest Hits Bee Gees album: The Record.......2007-06-16

This is by far THE best compilation of the Bee Gees. It's one of those albums that is a must have of any collection.

The best inclusions in this are: "Spicks & Specks", "Immortality", "Heartbreaker", as well as all the "Saturday Night Fever" classics like "How Deep is Your Love" and "Night Fever". For the hopeless romantics there's even "Guilty", the duet with Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb. Who could ask for anything more? Not me. This album is great and you should buy it, put it on and you should be dancing.

The BEST of the BeeGees.......2007-04-11

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?

Shows Why The Bee Gees Were So Successful.......2007-03-12

Trivia question: Which three artists had the most #1 songs in the '70's? Elton John, Paul McCartney, and the Bee Gees.

I read a reviewer who suggested they put the older songs on one disc and the disco on the other. One problem is that this is chronological for the most part (though the final track, "Spicks and Specks", was actually an older song), so they needed to do it the way they did to have room for the newer songs.

It includes several covered songs, and most of them were better by the covered artist ("Love Me" and "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman and "Emotion" by Samantha Sang are examples). One missing song is "Come On Over", which was a hit by Olivia Newton-John and sang by the Bee Gees on their live album.

My favorite Bee Gee hits were "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" and "Tragedy", with "Words", "Lonely Days", "Run To Me", "Jive Talkin'", "Stayin' Alive", :One", and "Spicks & Specks" also being tracks I like.

THE BEE GEES AND ALL THEIR GLORY HITS........2007-03-10

I was just conversing with my new amazon friend Gary G. about the BEE GEES and that I was contemplating on reviewing the BEE GEES compilation album that I'm about to review for you now. Without further delay, it is time for me to review the ultimate BEE GEES compilation album released in 2001. This one's for you Gary.

I will be writing a review on the legendary Two-CD compilation album entitled "THE BEE GEES, THEIR GREATEST HITS, THE RECORD" by one of Rock's greatest legendary bands. I give you one of Australia's many pride and joy's, the one and only, THE BEE GEES. This legendary compilation album was originally released in 2001 on Compact Disc on the Polydor Records label in association with Universal Records, a division of UMG Recordings Inc. and UTV Records. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

Australia would give Rock n' Roll some of its greatest acts. You have the legendary and beautiful OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN and the hard a*s kicking Rock n' Roll Band AC/DC. But before them, you would have THE BEE GEES to begin the Australian Invasion of the whole world. THE BEE GEES have been in the music business now for well over forty years with worldwide record sales exceeding well over 180 million and still counting. And get this, THE BEE GEES are officially in the TOP 5 MOST SUCCESSFUL RECORDING ARTISTS OF ALL-TIME. THE BEE GEES will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for kicking Disco into high gear and recording some of the greatest Disco songs for the extremely successful groundbreaking movie soundtrack landmark album "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" in 1977. To this very day, the "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" soundtrack album remains in the Top 3 as the all-time most successful album ever released of its kind. This legendary soundtrack album also remains as one of Rock's greatest achievements and contributions in Rock n' Roll history. What can I say about the Gibb brothers that hasn't already been said. When brothers Barry Gibb on vocals and guitar , Robin Gibb on vocals and the late great Maurice Gibb on vocals, bass, guitar and keyboards joined forces in the 60's, a Rock n' Roll revolution and Corporation was about to be born and take Rock n' Roll by storm. Who would have believed that THE BEE GEES would have been as big and as successful as they became in the 1970's and beyond that would be felt to this very day. You can almost truly say that THE BEE GEES were almost as big as life itself. With that in mind, you can say that THE BEE GEES and MICHAEL JACKSON are the only acts that would ever come close in comparison to the screaming lungs of BEATLEMANIA. Even the youngest brother, the late great ANDY GIBB would enjoy a very successful solo career as one of the greatest teen idols of not just the 70's, but of all-time. ANDY GIBB would record successful hit songs in the 70's such as the incredible "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" and the breathtaking "Shadow Dancing." If that wasn't enough, ANDY would also co-host one of TV's most popular shows in the 70's with MARILYN MCCOO called SOLID GOLD. However, it would be ANDY GIBB'S older brothers that would forever strike gold and give Rock n' Roll some of its greatest hits of all-time. THE BEE GEES have recorded many great albums and have released many great hit singles to back their albums up through the years between the period of 1967 to 2001. This Two-CD set compilation album highlights all of THE BEE GEES great hit singles from that period. In my opinion, this legendary compilation album is a true testament of three extremely talented brothers who dared to change the sound of Rock n' Roll forever and a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary band that was indeed, far ahead of their time.

Now it is time to let THE BEE GEES legendary music speak for itself and do all of the talking. On DISC ONE, this legendary compilation album begins with THE BEE GEES first phase from the 1960's with the rare 60's hit single "New York Mining Disaster 1941," the legendary slow beautiful soothing orchestrated "To Love Somebody," the slow beautiful orchestrated "Holiday," the beautiful breathtaking orchestrated mellow "Massachusetts," the slow beautiful loud and mellow "World," the amazing and incredible smooth orchestrated number "Words," the forever beautiful orchestrated mellow number "I've Gotta Get A Message To You," the beautifully crafted mellow number "I Started A Joke," the beautiful tear drops orchestrated mellow number "First Of May," the rare beautiful mellow orchestrated "Saved By The Bell," the mindblowing rare beautiful orchestrated number "Don't Forget To Remember," the forever BEE GEES trademark 60's mellow Rocker "Lonely Days," the forever slow beautiful orchestrated mellow Rocker and one of my most favorite BEE GEES songs ever, "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," the slow groundbreaking mellow Rocker "Run To Me," and the hit single that would forever begin the legendary BEE GEES second phase and 70's Disco sound craze, the funkish "Jive Talkin'," the soulful funkish heartfelt "Nights On Broadway," the beautiful mellow "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)," the forever slow beautiful and mellow and another one of my personal favorites "Love So Right," the original BEE GEES composition that gave Yvonne Elliman her first number one hit, "If I Can't Have You," another one of my personal favorites, the slow beautiful soulful smooth soothing number "Love Me" and the forever BEE GEES trademark Disco classic that would jump start Disco and help contribute in leading John Travolta to unheralded and unmatched stardom, "You Should Be Dancing." END OF DISC ONE.

DISC TWO takes where DISC ONE left off with the lead song that would begin the "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" soundtrack and the film, the mighty and incredible in its original long version, "Stayin' Alive," another one of my most dearest and most favorite BEE GEES slow songs ever, the slow and one of the most beautiful breathtaking songs ever, "How Deep Is Your Love," the killer genuine Disco classic from the 1977 "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" soundtrack with a pinch of Rock n' roll "Night Fever," another one of my personal favorites, the original BEE GEES song that gave TAVARES another hit that is also included on the soundtrack album, the genuine original and beautiful BEE GEES version of "More Than A Woman," the rare and synthesized filled number that became a hit for SAMANTHA SANG, the groundbreaking sizzler "Emotion," the forever beautiful harmonizing BEE GEES trademark soulful number "Too Much Heaven," the synthesizer filled fast paced "Tragedy," the beautiful harmonizing funkish soulful heartfelt "Love You Inside Out," one of the Top 5 best duets of all-time, the slow and beautiful Barry Gibb/Barbara Streisand love song "Guilty," the well recorded danceable synthesized number "Heartbreaker," the BEE GEES composition that became a successful number one hit for KENNY ROGERS AND DOLLY PARTON, the original BEE GEES version of "Islands In The Stream," the incredible synthesized "You Win Again," the danceable and soulful number "One," the uplifting synthesized "Secret Love," the slow beautiful and well sung "From Whom The Bell Tolls," the slow positive atmospheric acoustic number "Alone," the slow beautiful synthesized number "Immortality," the breathtaking acoustic Rocker "This Is Where I Came In" and the rare 1966 early BEE GEES classic song "Spicks & Specks." WOW! This was sure a long collection to review. May I also add that all three BEE GEES band members contributed beautiful harmonizing vocals which complimented and added more raw and crisp soothing sounds that uplifted and boosted the music to another level. I would like to also add that Barry Gibb's gifted falsetto vocal ranges are the only vocals that I would match next to Brian Wilson of THE BEACH BOYS. It is so amazing listening to all of these legendary songs together in one collection. Listening to these songs is like being in a time capsule in bringing back so many memories from my youth. I can't help but describe their slow songs as being beautiful especially since they truly are. I actually got teary eyed listening to all of the BEE GEES hits and I'm sure it will do the same for all of you too.

Overall, this is one of the Top 5 greatest compilation albums ever assembled together by anyone. In my opinion, if you want to listen to all of THE BEE GEES greatest hits, get this collection, you will listen for yourself how far THE BEE GEES have come a long way and matured with time and age. Their music only improved and kept getting better as time rolled on as this collection will definitely attest to that.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary compilation album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary compilation album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished by everyone for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one BEE GEES compilation album that all devout music collector's will not want to be without. However, there are other greatest hits packages by this artist that you might want to research further into and purchase other than or besides this compilation album.

In closing, there are more than 500 cover versions of Gibb songs that have been recorded by other artists. THE BEE GEES would continue to record great albums and release outstanding hit songs throughout their whole glorious career. THE BEE GEES would also play to pack houses with their sold out concerts the world over for many years. With this in mind, all was well in THE BEE GEES world until the unthinkable happened. With the untimely passing of original BEE GEE co-founder and beloved brother Maurice Gibb, THE BEE GEES would lose a very important key role and element in THE BEE GEES sound and music. Listening to their music, it is also very apparent to me that THE BEE GEES music did matter and truly made a difference in my life as well as many other people's lives. In reality, THE BEE GEES will forever live in my heart as those three talented brothers that gave us everything they had and revolutionized the sound of Disco and Rock n' Roll forever in the process. With that, THE BEE GEES will forever leave their mark in Rock n' Roll history and will never be forgotten. So here's to you Barry, Robin and the late great Maurice. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. THE BEE GEES FOREVER. R.I.P. MAURICE ERNEST GIBB, Born 22 December 1949, Died 12 January 2003 at age 54. Also R.I.P. ANDREW ROY GIBB, Born 5 March 1958, Died 10 March 1988 at age 30. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

Love this CD.......2007-07-05

Had this when it came out on LP--didn't even know it was ON cd til just now, and I ordered it. Take it for what it is, a timepiece from the period. The Bee Gees in the mid to late 70's were as dominant as the Beatles were in the 60's. PS- CHICAGO was offered the "Got To Get You" song and passed.

to those disco freaks that love cheesy films!.......2007-04-19

Yes, I'm a HUGE fan of Peter Frampton and the Brothers Gibb and I'm an even BIGGER fan of cheesy films. I've been hunting down this soundtrack on CD since wearing out the VHS I checked out from the library. After having the DVD fall on my foot at my local Walgreen's (and watching it 7 times over 3 days), I'm now starting my search again for the awesome soundtrack. I'm a bit miffed that the tracks are out of order, but it's no big deal. If you love Frampton's guitar work, the BeeGee's vocals, and a cheesy film from '78 to boot, then by all means, get it. For those haters that don't like disco-fied Beatles covers, well, all I can say to them is pfft (oh, and not buy it if they're going to just fuss and cuss about how it's not 'right').

Why would you buy it then?.......2007-03-20

Looking at the previous review I wonder...Did you see the movie? if you did then you heard all the tracks before buying the cd. Yes the movie was corny and campy...and I'm glad it didn't turn out to be like Xanadu (largly due to the fact that no one had to act, they just sang the parts) but it still leads me to wonder why would you buy the soundtrack to a movie you felt like was a flop? I enjoyed the music therefore I will most likely buy this cd. I enjoyed the movie as well (sucker for the Bee Gees)...

This sound track from the movie is a very good remake of the Beatles tunes. I enjoyed the movie back years ago and enjoy the music again now...

Excellent Purchase.......2007-01-10

This item was exactly as advertised. It arrived in perfect condition and in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to do business with this seller again in the future.

Did the Bee Gees get too big too fast on their second run at fame? This compilation suggests the answer is yes; their early self-reinvention as a disco-soul act yielded fabulous singles like "Jive Talkin'" and the unstoppable Saturday Night Fever trilogy of "How Deep Is Your Love," "Stayin' Alive," and "Night Fever," but by the end of the '70s the inspiration was gone. Bland follow-ups like "Too Much Heaven" and "Love You Inside Out" are at a minimum here, though, making Greatest for the most part an honorable alternative to the SNF soundtrack, should you want one. --Rickey Wright

You SHOULD be dancing!.......2007-04-05

The title "Greatest" is a bit misleading since the focus here is the Brothers Gibb's biggest hits during their oft maligned disco era on the RSO label, from 1975's "Jive Talkin" (the leadoff track) to 1979's "Love You Inside Out." There's nothing here from the earlier phase of their career on the Atco label or that post-dates 1979, and only a handful that showcases great album tracks not released as singles like "You Stepped Into My Life," "Wind of Change" and "Children of the World." While the Bee Gees didn't invent disco they certainly were one of its leading proponents and "Greatest" oddly excises two tracks that were Top 40 hits during this era like 1977's "Boogie Child" and "Edge of the Universe." But the big disco hits are all here in all their ear-shattering falsettoed glory. It's easy to stereotype what's here as vapid mindless disco, but if you look deeper "Greatest" showcases some of songwriting's greatest hooks. If you're looking to get your disco on "Greatest" is a great place to start.

TERRIFIC BEE GEES COLLECTION!.......2007-01-27

I sincerely believe that The Bee Gees were one of the most under-rated bands in popular music history! In my mind, "the three B's" of rock and roll are The Beatles, The Beach Boys and the Bee Gees. They were all incredibly talented bands!

I have followed The Bee Gees musical career since 1967 when I first heard them in college. Why haven't they had greater success and popularity in the U.S.? They have achieved much greater fame in the rest of the world. Could it be because of Maurice's falsetto voice and breathtaking range? We may never know.

This album, if you can find it, represents the best of their golden years, 1975-1979. They were the pioneers of disco, blending their distinctive vocal harmony with smooth and brilliant instrumental sounds.

I was very fortunate to find this collection on vinyl at a second hand music store a few years ago and consider it one of my favorite pop albums. If you enjoy dancing to disco or just want to hear one of the best bands ever...get this album!

Advisory - Will Cause Happiness.......2005-08-16

This is awesome music - the best anti depressant and bad mood buster available. You can not listen to the Bee Gees and not be thrust into a good mood. My favorite time to listen is when I'm cleaning the house. I hate cleaning but the time flies when I'm listening to the Bee Gees. It's also great for dancing in the kitchen with my lover on a Saturday night when we can't find a baby sitter.

Essential Purchase for the Boogie Days of the Bee Gees.......2005-06-25

Without a doubt, the late 1970s were the shining times for the Bee Gees. Their music from 1975-1979 is sweet, timeless, and unforgettable. This 20-song collection is all the casual listener needs, featuring their biggest chart-toppers (Night Fever, Stayin' Alive) and songs the brothers wrote but let other fellow musicians take them to the top (If I Can't Have You, More than a Woman). Essential at best, and highly enjoyable.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM!.......2005-04-29

Album Description

Brothers Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb made musical history for close to four decades with their magnificent vocal harmonies and ever-evolving styles. Masters of orchestral pop, blue-eyed soul and R&B, dazzling dance grooves, and disco fever alike—as well as uniquely blended hybrids of all these genres and more—the Bee Gees delivered album classics and top chart hits throughout their enduring career. On this newly remastered edition, the amazing genetics of their harmonies shine, as does the ongoing artistic evolution that's made them one of contemporary music's most successful and legendary acts.

The Final Amazing Concert!.......2007-07-02

"One Night Only" is a good a masterpiece of live recording as 1977's "Here At Last...Bee Gees...Live" was. All the great songs are here, plus a few odd album cuts that truly make this set shine. Highlights include, "Grease" with a thunderous crowd roaring approval; "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away', a true tearjerker with prerecorded Andy Gibb singing with his brothers and "Immortality", with a wonderful Celine Dion backed by the brothers. The CD is crisp, clean and clear. It is amazing to hear such fantastic producers who's studio recordings sound the same in concert. This is a classic CD!

Extraordinary-One Night Only.......2007-04-10

The previous reviews we read before getting this production fell short to what we got...not only a flashback to our 'Saturday Night Fever' times but also the lasting impression it has left in our 11-yr old kid. He has managed to learn & sing all the selections, particularly "Words", "Lonely Days" and the "New York Mining Disaster". Absolutely EXTRAORDINARY!

Great disco classic.......2007-07-24

This masterpiece has lost none of its appeal after all these years, proving the critics wrong and the BeeGees right. Part of its popularity must be due to the clever mix of fast dance numbers and lovely soaring ballads. The frenetic pace of e.g. Staying Alive and Night Fever is balanced by the serene pace of How Deep Is Your Love.

For fans of the old-style BeeGees ballads, this new direction with the edgy falsetto vocals and the nervous beat came as a shock initially, but those hits like Jive Talkin' and You Should Be Dancing soon enough swept one up in the disco fever. I love Yvonne Elliman's poignant ballad If I Can't Have You, while the tracks by Kool & The Gang, MFSB and KC & The Sunshine Band are great too.

But the real underground classic here is Disco Inferno by Trammps, nine minutes of burbling, bubbling, stomping, storming, gripping funk that is as anthemic as any great rock song by for example Bruce Springsteen. Come to think of it, most of the BeeGees tracks here can also be considered as anthems of the disco generation.

Besides serving as bridges between the classic hits, the filler tracks like A Fifth Of Beethoven and Salsation add authenticity to the overall listening experience and serve to strengthen the ambience. This album and the movie took disco out of the underground and reinvented it as a mainstream phenomenon.

While rock music was going through the convulsions of the punk and new wave revolutions, disco was having the party of the decade. And this album, along with the music of Donna Summer, Grace Jones, Chic, Giorgio Moroder, Boney M, Village People and others, provided the soundtrack to an era.

The music is definitely 5 Star but the rerelease merits a big fat zero!.......2007-07-23

This rerelease has to be the biggest DISAPPOINTMENT of the year!!! Where are the bonus cuts? How about some unreleased demos? How about the limited edition DJ only 12" promotional single versions of "Stayin' Alive" (6:55), "Night Fever" (4:50), "More Than A Woman" (4:43), "If I Can't Have You" (by Yvonne Elliman) (4:00) & "You Should Be Dancin'" (4:47)[RSO catalog # PRO 033]? How about both the live and studio versions of "Jive Taking", each released on various editions of the vinyl soundtrack (studio version on early copies, live on later)? How about the '83 medley (entited "Saturday Night Mix") only released before in Europe [B side of "The Woman in You" UK 12"]? How about the DJ only Ultimix remix of "Staying Alive" or the Hot Tracks remix of "Night Fever", neither ever released commercially? How about the Ben Leibrand remix of Taveres' "More Than A Woman"? How about the songs from the David Shire score that didn't make it on the original album? How about the label doing some research and uncovering these lost gems? How about Rhino blows it AGAIN!!! Sorry, Rhino but YOU HAVE REALLY LOST IT!

Boogie Down.......2007-07-10

With the years of movie musicals arose in recent times around Hollywood and at the movies, the music seems to be just as important as it was years ago. Films like Dreamgirls and the upcoming Hairspray with John Travolta, remind people of just how important the music has to blend into a great film. That also can be said about the classics too in Travolta's dyas back in the 1970's. With Grease and Saturday Night Fever, he was everywhere, and just a darling with the music. However, the musical icons of last year, The Bee Gees have often been overlooked in recent years, in favor of wannabe acts that're more about gloss like Kelly Clarkson, and the irritating Paris Hilton who is just a singer who acts like a jerk. But, their music has received a big overhaul, and one of most popular records has too.

The 2007 re-release of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, was in regards to last years overhaul and move of The Bee Gees catalog from Universal and MCA, to Warner Brothers in the U.S. The albums sound great, and the music from the popular 70's film still are just as exciting to listen too, as they were developed 30 years ago. The songs on the soundtrack take you back to a time when everybody went to discos as an escape from everyday life, and the music was full of rhythm and life. The songs here including all of the Bee Gees classics like Night Fever, the soulful How Deep Is Your Love, and the cult favorite Stayin' Alive. Although the soundtrack is mainly about The Bee Gees, there are other great songs here as well including The Tramps Disco Inferno, and Yvonne Elliman's one hit wonder track If I Can't Have You. Although there aren't any new tracks that were added like the original was made, the songs here really sound better than ever, and still are great to whole new dancers everywhere.

All in all, the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever is a great buy for anyone who is into classic movie soundtracks. I absolutely love the songs here, and if you're a fan of John Travolta, or love The Bee Gees, than I definitely recommend this album a whole lot. It still makes you want to feel like you're Stayin' Alive no matter what!

Album Description

BEE GEES' 1st, originally released in 1967, is a harmony-heavy, rock flavored masterpiece that instantly put the group in the forefront of hit music coming out of the U.K. The album reached #7 on BillboardÂ®'s Pop Album chart and delivered a trio of top 20 smashes: "To Love Somebody," "New York Mining Disaster 1941," and "Holiday." Disc 2 features 14 previously unreleased tracks, include alternate versions of most of the album cuts plus the recording debut of "Gilbert Green," "House Of Lords," "All Around The Clock," and other ultra-rarities.

Customer Reviews:

The Debut Album!.......2007-01-28

Wrapped in a snug fold-out digipak, this Rhino re-issue of Bee Gees First is a wonder to behold. Being the first international album by the three brothers, Rhino has beautifully remastered the original into one CD that has all the original fourteen songs in Stereo and Mono. These are different sounding recordings and not simply Stereo condensed into Mono. Classics like, "To Love Somebody", "Holiday" and their first big hit "New York Mining Disaster 1941" are given new life. In fact, the latter song has four different versions included here.

Disc 2 contains fantastic Alternate Versions and preciously unreleased material. Compare Barry's lead vocal of "One Minute woman" to Robin's take. Or compare the orchestral and instrumental differences between originals and Alternate Takes of "I Close My Eyes" and Turn Of The Century". It must have been a tough decision to make regarding songs choices. The Bee Gees show a remarkable sense of humor with "Mr. Wallor's Wailing Wall" and Beatle-esque perfection with "Gilbert Green" and "House Of Lords". With 42 songs and a running time of well over 100 minutes, this is a long awaited release. This album made it to #7 on the Billboard charts in 1967! Also includes a colorful booklet packed with trivia, history, album and single photos as well as comments from Barry and Robin Gibb.

A Wonderful Collection for the Casual Fan.......2006-08-26

I was a fan of the Bee Gees until "Saturday Night Fever" and the era of disco. For a long time after disco became a footnote in music history I refuse to listen to the Bee Gees because of their association with disco; my mistake. The Bee Gees were one of the most successful and creative pop groups in music history. Even if the Bee Gees were less successful in the United States, they are almost assuredly one of the best selling pop groups in history world wide. This collection has some shortcomings, but it is a great selection of songs for a casual fan. The bonus DVD is an excellent extra that may drive you to get a more comprehensive DVD.

These songs were #1 somewhere in the world. Unfortunately, the booklet included with the CD fails to point out where the songs were #1. Many were not #1 in the United States or the United Kingdom, so I have to wonder whether Djibouti, Nepal, or Costa Rica was the pop hotbed where some songs went to #1. Regardless of where the songs went to #1, every one of these songs is excellent. The only problem may be that there are not enough of them; more on that in a moment.

Because the Bee Gees had hits from the 60s to the 90s, every era of their career is represented by the first eighteen songs on the CD. The 19th song on the CD, "Man in the Middle," is not a number one song, but a tribute to departed brother Maurice Gibb. The song is moving and very well done. I think Maurice Gibb would have been proud of his brothers.

I enjoyed the Bee Gees in the era of songs like "Massachusetts," "I've Gotta Get a Message to You," and "I Started a Joke." When the Bee Gees disappeared and "I Started a Joke" disappeared from radio I kept trying to remember who the group was that sang that song.

Though the Bee Gees had outstanding harmonies and catchy pop riffs in the music in the first portion of their career, it was the catchier beats of the disco era that propelled the Bee Gees into superstardom. Songs like "Jive Talkin'" and "You Should Be Dancing" led to the songs of "Saturday Night Fever." From the end of 1977 into 1978 the Gibb brothers had six songs that went to number one in the United States. Brother Andy Gibb recorded two of the six songs and Yvonne Elliman went to number one with "If I Can't Have You." The Bee Gees followed up with the successful album "Spirits Have Flown," which provided three more number ones to the Bee Gees. However, the fall of disco in 1979 generated a backlash in the United States that propelled the Bee Gees from the limelight to the back stage. Fortunately the brothers continued to chart well in the rest of the world.

Perhaps the real flaw with this collection is depth. The Bee Gees have sold more than 180 million albums world wide. The have more than 20 released albums. Even presuming that the nineteen songs on the CD are number one songs, an incredible number of very good songs remain that hit the top ten, the top twenty or the top forty. There are at least two more comprehensive collections available. There is a two disk greatest hits collection and a boxed set with many more songs available. If you already have most of the Bee Gees music this set only gives you a different set to listen to, in addition to the Maurice Gibb tribute song "Man in the Middle." Of course, the more comprehensive collections also tend to be more expensive.

This particular CD also includes a DVD with five performances. I enjoyed the performances immensely. All five performances are live versions of songs represented on the CD. The five performances represent the Bee Gees from their two most popular periods. While the CD alone could have been more comprehensive, the inclusion of the DVD makes this collection very cost-effective if you are looking for a CD representative of the Bee Gees. I warn you that you may become hooked on the Bee Gees and may want to start collecting more, and more, of their music. Enjoy!

Despite the DVD, this collection falls short of other Bee Gees Compilations.......2006-04-26

If one were to assess musical artists in the Pop music era, one may not be off-base by saying that the Bee Gees are one of the Top 10 acts of all time. The Bee Gees established themselves as pop stars in the late 1960s; reinvented themselves in the 1970s as pioneers for the "Disco Era"; became acclaimed songwriters for some of pop's biggest acts in the 1980s; and then successfully made a comeback in the 1990s. This has allowed the Bee Gees to establish a large body of music work throughout their careers. "Bee Gees: Number Ones" marks the first release following the death of Bee Gee Maurice Gibb. It contains 18 hit singles by the Bee Gees spanning their entire career. While "Number Ones" does a good job at providing a snapshot of the Bee Gees career, it is not the strongest greatest hits collection that is available of their work.

The title of "Number Ones: is misleading. The term "Number Ones" is used loosely. In the liner notes, it says that this collection "contains the best-loved number one singles plus classic songs taken from number one albums". The liner notes also mention that "no other band has scored number ones in each of five decades (the argument can be made the Bee Gees had a #1 single or album in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, but I'm still trying to figure out what the fifth decade is). As for the number one singles or albums, the Bee Gees are referring to anywhere in the world where they scored a #1. An example of this is "You Win Again". "You Win Again" was a commercial flop in the United States, but scored as a number one in Europe. It's clear that the album is stretching things as far as what is a "Number One", but one thing is clear - this album contains plenty of hits.

With greatest hits collections, I prefer the songs to be arranged chronologically on the collection. This allows me to see how the artist has progressed over time. Given the fact that the Bee Gees transformed from a 60s Rock Sound to a Disco sound - and eventually to an adult-contemporary sound - it is critical for any Bee Gees collection to be arranged chronologically. "Number Ones" does a very good job at showing this - all of the songs are ordered chronologically and allow the listener to follow hear the transformations made in their career. The collection does a nice job at introducing "forgotten hits" by the Bee Gees such as ""World", "Words", "I've Gotta Get a Message to You", and "Don't Forget to Remember".

As with many greatest hits collections, this one includes a "new song". In this case the "new song" is a moving tribute to the late Maurice Gibb entitled "Man in the Middle". For the most part this song continues the adult-contemporary sound started by the Bee Gees in the 1990s.

Overall there are no problems with the musical content of "Number Ones". However, "Number Ones" falls short when considering this greatest hits collection against several other significant greatest hits collections by the Bee Gees:

"Best of the Bee Gees" is a greatest hits album that covers the early material of the Bee Gees from the 1960s. The songs from this era "Massachusetts", "World", "Words", and "I've Gotta Get a Message to You" are all included here. This album also contains "To Love Somebody" and "New York Mining Disaster" - not included on "Number Ones".

"Best of the Bee Gees Vol. 2" is a follow-on greatest hits album that focuses on the Bee Gees material in the early 1970s - prior to the release of "Main Course" which would mark their transformation into the Disco-based pioneers. Included songs are: "Lonely Days", "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", and "Don't Forget to Remember".

"Bee Gees Greatest": This collection focuses on the Bee Gees material from their "peak period" - 1975 through 1979. All of the songs from "Number Ones" from this time frame are on this CD.

"The Very Best of the Bee Gees" is a mid 90s greatest hits collection with some overlap to "Number Ones". It contains 21 tracks and includes the newer song "Ordinary Lives". It also includes "New York Mining Disaster", "First of May", "Saved by the Bell", "Run to Me", "Nights on Broadway", and "More than a Woman" - all not included on "Number Ones". Songs like "I've Started a Joke", "Lonely Days", "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", "Love So Right", and "Love You Inside Out" are not included on this collection.

"Love Songs" is a greatest hits collection by the Bee Gees focused on ballads and songs with a theme of love.

"The Bee Gees: Their Greatest Hits" is a two disc collection. It is a comprehensive collection that contains every song on "Number Ones" with the exception of the Maurice Gibb tribute.

"Tales From the Brothers Gibb" is the most comprehensive Bee Gees collection out there. It is a four CD boxed set collection. All songs from "Number Ones" are included on this collection with the exception of the Maurice Gibb tribute.

This edition of "Number Ones" contains a bonus DVD featuring five songs performed on a television show. These songs clearly don't have the intensity of many of the live performances the Bee Gees have - namely "One Night Only". However if you are a Bee Gees fan, you may appreciate these videos.

Based on more focused and comprehensive greatest hits offerings available, "Number Ones" really doesn't stand up with many of the other Bee Gees collections out there. In addition, I didn't feel the DVD video added much making this collection worthwhile. Unless you are a fan and/or want the Maurice Gibb tribute song, my advice would be to try to get the two-disc "The Bee Gees: Their Greatest Hits" instead of this collection.

Too Many #1 Hits Already!.......2005-12-21

Not to be excluded from the list of other artists that have released compilations containing only #1 songs, the Bee Gees have no worries. Although some of the hits didn't actually make #1 in the UK or the USA, some may have been #1 in several other countries, prompting it to be thankfully included here. "Number Ones" features 19-tracks, adding cuts such as the country flavored "Don't Forget To Remember" (#34 in USA/#2 in UK) and the immortal "Words" (#15 USA/#8 UK). Although the Bee Gees never had these few songs at #1, other artists have consistently placed these songs at the top of the charts.

The last song is 2001's "Man in the Middle," a polite MOR rocker that is included as a tribute to the late Maurice Gibb. An 'after the fact' trivia is that this song actually went to #2 in Turkey after this album was released!

If you buy this early, you'll get the limited-edition CD/DVD combo which includes rare footage of the Bee Gees performing "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," "How Deep Is Your Love," "Jive Talkin'," "Massachusetts" and "I Started a Joke" (from the U.K. TV show "An Audience With").

Trivia: Dozens of songs went to #1 in Holland, Germany and Italy and elsewhere. Here are some well-known and rare Gibb songs that have made it to #1.

"Spicks & Specks" (Australia)
"My World" (Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore)
"Run To Me" (Hong Kong, Singapore)
"Saw A New Morning" (Hong Kong)
"Wouldn't I Be Someone" (Hong Kong)
"Love So Right" (Brazil)

The songlist goes on and on and will continue to be the legacy of three brothers from Manchester, England.

Fabulous CD!.......2005-06-10

I was lucky enought to stumble on this CD and WOW it is fantastic. I'd forgotten what great songs the BeeGees put out. My teen years floated though my mind as I enjoyed listening to these songs over and over. I especially enjoyed "Man in the Middle" the tribute to brother Maurice Gibb. Great album!

Album Description

They've penned UK #1s in each of four decades. They're the only songwriting team to have written hit singles in each of five decades. They're ranked in the top five most successful recording artists ever, with Barry Gibb being rated as the all-time #3 record producer with the most #1 records (14) to his credit. They're the only recording artists to write and produce six straight #1 singles, and the first composers to have five songs in the Top 10 at the same time. They're also the most covered writers ever with literally thousands of recorded versions of their songs. Add to that seven Grammy Awards and being members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in both the US and Australia and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. This album is a celebration of a lifetime of hits for Robin, Barry, and Maurice.

Customer Reviews:

this is the best Beegees cd!!.......2007-01-02

This is the best of the Beegees records.It has all their number ones.This is my number one cd in my collection Its awesome I love
it!!!

Great Collection + Bonus DVD.......2006-08-25

Are there such beings as Bee Gees afficionados? Whether the answer is yes or no, given all the hits these guys had over the decades, it's ridiculous to nitpick over which songs attained which rankings. To me, the point is fond memories, not re-creating the Billboard charts, and this CD and DVD set succeeds brilliantly at that.

Songs on the CD are a nice combination of 1960s classics like "I Started a Joke," "I've Gotta Get a Message to You," and "Massachusetts" with the '70s dance songs "Stayin' Alive," "Night Fever," and "You Should be Dancing," plus a few from the '80s. Is this the "ultimate" collection? That depends on which Bee Gees songs you like most. To me, these do nicely.

The Bonus DVD is short and a little overly staged for my taste -- it's the boys performing 5 songs live in an English TV studio that reminds me more of the old Dinah Shore Show than a real concert. It's not that the footage is old...it's not...it just looks a little small time for such a world-renowned act. Maybe they were just going for "intimate." In any case, they look and sound good, and it's nice to see them all live without committing a whole evening.

Overall, it's a good collection of 19 pop songs that formed part of the soundtrack to my early teen years. And, especially with the extra DVD, there are far worse ways to spend $13.

Disappointed.......2006-07-29

The second CD was scratched and hence I cannot play it. I would appreciate it if you would send me another one and also include the information needed to return the damaged one sent to me.

Thanks.

Curious compilation of great music.......2006-04-01

It's another year, and therefore there must be another Bee Gees compilation. Just in time for the 2005 Christmas shopping season brought us "Love Songs". Earlier in the year, this release was issued, without much fanfare. As to the claim of all songs being "numnber ones", the liner notes state that all songs made No. 1 somewhere around the world, or were on an album that made No. 1 somwhere around the world, but other than that there are no further details, and we just have to take the label's word for it...

"Number Ones" (19 tracks, 73 min.) brings a chronological selection of the songs. The first third of the collection brings the 1960s songs that, if anything, have gotten better with the years. "World", "Words", "I Started a Joke" etc. have that instant classic feel, and are the best songs on here. After that we get a couple songs of the transition phase of the early 70s, before diving full head into the Bee Gees' most successfull period 1975-1979 centered around the "Saturday Night Fever" songs. The songs are a soundtrack to the era, but for me personally I prefer the 60s Bee Gees. Only one song on the compilation comes from after 1979, the likeable "You Win Again". The album closes with the 2001 Maurice Gibb tribute track, "Man in the Middle", which is touching but musically unremarkable. This limited edition also comes with a 5 song live DVD, which includes an outstanding version of "Massachusetts".

You cannot call this a "greatest hits" album. For that, too many essential songs such as "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "Nights on Broadway", and "More Than a Woman" are missing. While "Number Ones" certainly contains a lot of great music, the better Bee Gees compilation is the 2001 2CD album "Their Greatest Hits: The Record".

Pisati Giamarco "old fashioned man" says it best.......2005-09-09

I couldn't possibly put it any better than Pisati Giamarco "Old fashioned man" who brought a tear to my eye with his moving tribute to the Bee Gees greatest hits collection. "LISTENING OUR MUSIC MY HEART FLIES OVER THE MOUNTAIN, SWIMS IN THE DEEP OF THE OCEAN, DREAMING LOVE IS ALL AROUND". Beautiful.
