Disco de Bee Gees: “Number Ones [Bonus Tracks]”

There is no doubt about the music of the 70's. It still has a strong distinctive vibe that ignites your soul, and just gets you up and groove to the dance floor. That was definitely the case with the music of The Bee Gees. Back in the 70's, they've really shown that they were the talk of the town. They've scored hits that really let fans really shake their groove things. Yet, it is so sad that it has been nearly 6 years since the heartbreaking death of Maurice Gibb that hit music love everywhere hard. But, their catalog also had dissapeared from MP3 websites everywhere for awhile, and the CD sheleves. Now that their catalog had moved a few years ago from Universal to Warner Brothers, fans have had a lot to celebrate, and that comes with the re-release of a single pair of words, Number Ones.

The 2008 re-release of The Bee Gees #1's is a single disc reflection of songs that reached the top of the charts for themselves as well as for others. The collection of songs which was originally released back in 2004, now is back and for the first time available for your MP3 player. The collection features nothing but the biggest hits from Barry, Robin and Maurice which are brilliantly restored, and re-introduced with open arms. The album includes a lot of The Bee Gees biggest pleasures including Stayin' Alive, How Deep Is Your Love, Too Much Heaven, and Jive Talkin'. The newly revised collection also includes a few extra tracks that The Bee Gees wrote for others, which they've recorded as their own, Islands In The Stream for Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton and Immortality for Celine Dion. Although the extra tracks are fine, they really are nothing new for anyone who bought the 2001 out of print Bee Gees hits collection, Their Greatest Hits: The Record. While the collection does fare well, I was a bit surprised that there were just a few #1 songs that were overshadowed from the collection, including Nights On Broadway, and Barry's #1 smash duet with Barbara Streisand on Guilty.

Despite a few songs overlooked, while The Bee gees Number Ones doesn't offer anything too fancy, like remixed songs as was the case with 2007's remastered Greatest, it fares beautifully as a straight-forward and simple reintroduction to the biggest hits from one of the greatest guilty pleasure pop acts of all time. If you haven't yet owned a Bee Gees album, or heard any of their biggest hits before, than Number Ones would definitely be a great album to own for your music library.

Product arrived in a timely fashion and was in good condition. Would absolutely buy from this seller again. Absolutely no complaints.

yeah it is 30 years ago and that is hard to believe that it has been 30 years since the Bee Gees truly turned the World upside down with the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack, but the Bee Gees were more than disco, they were songwriters and Artists who truly could craft great pop songs and this collection showcases all of there classics which made them a household Band. there tradermark Harmonys and Grooves are still tight all of these years later. from the 60's through the 70's the Bee Gees made great songs. they are one of my all time favorite musical acts.

it's a nice album. i was lucky to get a limited edition with a DVD disc included.
