Summary: the 1970's
Comment: love the bee gees. barry gibb is the greatest, mild manner man i've ever met. he bowed to me when i said thank you. i miss maurice & andy. this 2CD set is great but i wish they would add more disco songs (the extended mixes) , more than a woman, boogie child, can keep a good man down, etc. as a matter of fact i'm sure their will be a bee gees disco CD just with remixes in the future. it's a very attractive package. everyone enjoy. those were the greatest years.

Summary: Timepiece.
Comment: I was six years old, almost seven when The Bee Gees released this double album. I had the two records, and I was wondering about the packaging--how would the record company reproduce it for compact disc? I was a bit disappointed. It's the same threefold that the vinyl was, showing Barry, Robin and Maurice in all their 70's glory. However, the glue holding the seams together for the cds made it too snug for removing the cds. In the end, the glue came apart leaving Barry and Maurice open on one side so that the cds could more easily be removed. Oh well. I did like the poster on the inside. I don't recall that being in the original double lp as a kid.
The music speaks for itself--platinum classics. The zenith of Bee Gee heaven. The hits need no comment. "Greatest Hits" introduced me to great lesser known Bee Gees album tracks with some of my all time favorite Bee Gees songs like "Spirits (Having Flown)", "Wind Of Change" and "Children Of The World"--all of which should have been top 10 hits in their own right.
You get bonus tracks here that are of varying quality. And truth be told, I held off on purchasing this double disc because I have everything from The Bee Gees, but nostalgia got the better of me, and as a collector I had to have "Greatest Hits".
As I recall, it seemed that each side of the vinyl album was dedicated to each brother. For example, side one was The Bee Gees, side two was Barry, side three Robin and side four Maurice. Does anyone else remember that?
Four stars because I was not pleased with the poor packaging, and I felt it could have been better. Also, I would have preferred additional tracks and b-sides rather than remixes. Overall, you might as well get "Their Greatest Hits: The Record" as it covers The Bee Gees entire career. But if you just want their biggest 70's hits, plus a few album cuts and extras, then "Greatest Hits" is for you.

Summary: Feels Like Old Times
Comment: Bee Gees Greatest collects 26 songs on 2 CDs. Most are from their platinum albums with a few remixes. I like the selection of songs and it bring back many memories.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Quite satisfied
Comment: I like the selection of songs as well as the newly remixed versions. They are all great. The only downside to mention is the paper three-fold package... one of the CD pockets was not completely glued and the other one is so tight that it is hard to get the CD out. But this is a design matter. I am quite satisfied with the contents of this album!

Summary: Bee Gees CD Review
Comment: Exactly the CD I wanted to add to my collection of 70's hits. I would recommend because of its song content. It has about all of their hits
