This is by far the Bee Gees best compilation ever released. It first appeared as a double album inside a black box, in Germany, early 1970 (Polydor 2618001), containing 24 highlights from the band's golden years (1967-1969), at a time where they were five: the three Gibb brothers (Barry, Robin and Maurice) plus 2 australian friends, Colin Peterson (drums) and Vince Melouney (guitar). As everybody knows, the group was better known as hit makers, rather than essential albums artisans (the exception being the double "Odessa" from 1969). And this fabulous collection reunites the cream of the cream, between several singles and album's tracks. With the beginning of the new decade the band split (even Robin Gibb has left the other two for a short solo career) and in the mid 70's the brothers went disco, losing forever the inspirational touch. So take good care of all these gems cause they reflects the very best work of one of the greatest bands from the late sixties:
