Bee Gees’ legacy includes seven platinum albums, eight GRAMMY®s, induction info the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and over 60 chart singles (including six straight #1s). Thirty years after 1977’s Saturday Night Fever, their sublime harmonies, funky beats, and masterful pop-rock songwriting has proven timeless First out in 1979, this two-disc compilation of their biggest and best from the mid to late ’70s gets a deluxe reissue with remastered sound plus bonuses including previously unreleased new remixes of four Fever classics.

2009-04-04 -- 4/5:: Takes me back........
As I get into my later 40's, I've become more nostalgic and collecting greatest hits CD's of the 70's and 80's. I loved (and still do) the BeeGees (had the biggest crush on Barry, oh that hair). This compilation is a nice mix of their hits, especially those made famous by "Saturday Night Fever". What I really like about the CDs are the extended (and revamped) versions of "Night Fever", "You Should Be Dancing" (great remix) and especially the "crunk" version of "Staying Alive"(cutely called the "Teddybear Remix" by the group). My 14 yr. old, after teasing me about the "old fogey" music, ate his words and now LOVES this latter remix! If you're a BeeGees fan of the more recent songs from the 70's and 80's, this is a great album to own.

Fantastic collection of Bee Gee hits. Played it over and over. One of my favorite albums.

2009-02-24 -- 4/5:: BE WARNED: This is heavy handed "remastering".
While I definitely would rate the collection of songs here as 5 stars, as it covers the disco era of the Bee Gees very nicely (except for the absence of "Emotion" and "I Just Want To Be Your Everything"), I, personally, was disappointed in the remastering on the majority of the songs on this double CD. I know this is a matter of taste, and I am not such a music purist as to discount all remastering efforts (as some of my friends are) on all music from the past.

However, having listened to this same music profusely in the 70's, the songs are ingrained into my both my heart and my mind. And, unfortunately, I found the remastering on the majority of the dance hits on this CD to be heavy-handed enough to significantly change the original recordings, and, not always for the better. Particularly, the first five tracks of the first CD, "Jive Talkin'", "Night Fever" (which at least they labeled a "remix"), "Tragedy", "You Should Be Dancing", and "Stayin' Alive" have a significant increase in the percussion portions of the songs (the underlying "dance beat"), that the vocals tend to get lost in the mix. (Interestingly, the 12" Promo version of "Stayin' Alive" on the first CD has a better quality of remastering than the track number 5 version.)

I think they did a better job on some of the ballads on the CD, most notably "How Deep Is Your Love", and "Love So Right". The remastering effort is much more transparent, and the listener is left with an updated, quality version of the music that is completely true to the original recording.

Both versions of "Night Fever" on this CD are labeled as "remixes", though the first one (Future Funk Squad Remix) comes closer to the original song. And, the packaging is very poor, as it is almost impossible to remove the CD's from the cardboard case without handling the underside of the CD's.

As I mentioned earlier, whether one likes or dislikes a "remastered" version of a favorite song is a matter of taste. I am personally disatisfied enough with this set to look for an alternative CD or CD's to complete my Bee Gee's library. My final rating is closer to 3 and one-half stars than 4. I hope that those who are interested in purchasing this set will at least attempt to seek a way to listen to some of the tracks on these CD's before they buy them, perhaps through a music service on the web or by borrowing them from a friend, especially if the buyer loves and remembers well the original versions of these songs!

Very fun two CDs! I'm disappointed only that they didn't include "Emotion", but the relatively unknown tracks like "Love Me", "Fanny", and "Rest Your Love On Me" made up for the absence by increasing my appreciation of the group.

2009-02-10 -- 5/5:: Bee Gees Greatest Hits - Really the Best
When I saw this collection I thought to myself I had to get it. So I bought it and let me tell you, it is fantastic. I am 33 years old, but I enjoy the music just as much as those who were already adults in the 70's and were probably partying to some of this music.

Great collection!!!
