- As Good As CD Singles Get!
If you can get a copy of this collector's item, go for it. Besides the great single, "Alone", this CD contains an acoustic live version of "Stayin' Alive" that has to be heard to be believed! "Decadance" is a techo-pop extended remix of "You Should Be Dancing" that rivals the original and "Rings Around The Moon" (not on any album either), is such a beautiful relaxing love song, you wonder why they didn't include it on an album.

- Simply the best
Another brilliant work from the Bee Gees. They are by far one of the best groups of the 70's and have continued their great work in to the next decades. It is unfortunate that some people associate them only with the disco area, because their music goes above and beyond the 70s. If you are a fan, or have liked their music, this is another album you don't want to miss.

- Buy it for the rings around the moon
With the vast output of the Bee Gees there will always be some tracks which get missed and are unjustifiably not better known. 'Rings' is one of these; a beautiful ballad sung in a typical folorn manner by Robin. If there's a pop voice which captures loss and melancholia better than Robin Gibb I'd be extremely surprised, and what is more his voice sounds just as good now as it did twenty and thirty years ago. 'Rings is a fabulous song which has never been officially released other than on this CD single, and this alone is reason enough to get this CD.

- The Rocking Song
Alone is the first song to be on the top 30 in US since the album Spirits Having Flown. This song is not just led by one lead vocal, but two, who were Robin Gibb, and Barry Gibb. With Maurice and Barry on guitar, Steve on drum, Alan on rhythem guitar, Simon on keyboards and a bass guitar, the song sounded better than any other songs.
Stayin' Alive was written before Saturday Night Fever was even out, so you can see how good the Bee Gees can rock. The song in this CD is live, so good to hear how Barry Gibb uses his falsetto voice in the live concert.
The other two songs are also excellent. You Should Be Dancing is Bee Gees' first super-rock song to be US Chart #1. The other song never had been in any other albums, so get a copy and listen to it!
My last word is - A GREAT SINGLE.
