Greatest was released on CD as a two disc set, but has since has been deleted domestically with the release of The Record. "Boogie Child" did appear in the box set Tales from the Brothers Gibb, but it was again passed over on the double disc set Their Greatest Hits: The Record from 2001. Incidentally "Boogie Child" reached the same Billboard position as Yvonne Elliman's version of "Love Me", while Wayne Newton's recording of "You Stepped Into My Life" only peaked at 90. Two charting singles, "Boogie Child" and "Edge of the Universe" were omitted in favor of tracks that other artists had hits with such as "Love Me" and "If I Can't Have You" (Yvonne Elliman) and "You Stepped Into My Life" (Wayne Newton). Side four contains "Nights on Broadway", "Spirits (Having Flown)", "Wind of Change", "Love You Inside Out" and "Children of the World". Side three also consists songs that spawned cover versions for other artists. Side three consists of B-sides and album tracks such as "If I Can't Have You", "You Stepped Into My Life", "Love Me", "More Than a Woman" and "Rest Your Love On Me". Side two contains ballads and featured "How Deep Is Your Love", "Too Much Heaven", "Love So Right", "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" and "Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)". Side one contains disco tracks featuring "Jive Talkin'", "Night Fever", "Tragedy", "You Should Be Dancing" and "Stayin' Alive". The original release was a double album, with album sleeves and labels featuring pictures of each brother on the label and all three brothers on side four, while each record sleeve was adorned with the Bee Gees Greatest logo. A remastered and expanded version of the album was released by Reprise Records in 2007.

Coming soon after the blockbuster studio album Spirits Having Flown, Greatest was a summary of the Bee Gees' most recent period of success, 1975-1979. "Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)" - 4:03īee Gees Greatest is a compilation album of songs by the Bee Gees, released in 1979 by RSO Records. "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" - 4:05ġ0. Released Date: September 1985 (US reissue)ĩ. Producer: Bee Gees, Albhy Galuten, Karl Richardson In fact, just about the only better way to recall the era is to listen to the Bee Gees' original albums of the same period.BEE GEES – (1979) GREATEST HITS (US FIRST PRESS) On that basis alone, beyond the appeal of the songs (which is massive), this collection still exerts a strong pull. And listening to it today, one does feel the definite pull of nostalgia, for a time when life seemed much simpler - without a war in Iraq (or the necessity of a War on Terror), before AIDS and other STDs - and the world seemed a little more manageable, at least potentially. Gathering all of this material together was, in some ways, also a sign that the era was drawing to a close. Natural (where their '70s sound really begins) through Spirits Having Flown.

It's also a statement of just how successful the Bee Gees were at the time that this was a double LP, representing just those four years, and how generous the group and RSO Records could afford to be - indeed, anything less would have seemed like exploitation of the fans, but extending it out past the obvious hits (including the Saturday Night Fever material) made this collection an event of sorts, and a release that could stand alongside their albums from Mr. At the time, it did elicit some unspoken resentment from older fans who knew their hits from the 1960s, but as a collection of first-rate '70s dance music it was unimpeachable.

In its original form, this double-LP compilation was a very generous repackaging of four years' worth of hits and notable album tracks, plus the Andy Gibb-authored "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away." It was a perfect distillation of the sound that had put the Bee Gees on top of the pop music world from 1975 onward.
