Finally The Bee Gees "Greatest" album finally sounding the way it should,with crisp highs and thumping lows!!! This is the best these disco era classics have ever sounded!!! The original album with all of those disco classics(the country sounding "Rest Your Love On Me"(A much bigger hit for Conway Twitty that they wrote and put out as the B-side of "Too Much Heaven) has always seemed out of place to me,but its still a good song) is joined by some rare material including,a promo 12" Version of Stayin' Alive and their version of Warm Ride,which was originally a hit for Rare Earth that they wrote and recorded but never released,until now!!! Also 5 brand new remixes are added to the lineup,You Should Be Dancing,If I Can't Have You,Night Fever,How Deep Is Your Love,and Stayin' Alive,there cool,but not as good as the classic originals!!! Very Recommended,even if you own the original 2 CD package,this is a worthy upgrade!!! The sound is that good!!! The only beef I have is with the packaging,the CD's are a bit hard to get out of the holder and can get scratched quite easily!!! It's still a five star package!!! Two thumbs up!!! Way up!!! A+

3.0 out of 5 stars Re-release of disco material, January 12, 2008

This 2cd set is not really the Bee Gee's greatest hits, but possibly the greatest hits through the disco era. Tracks are from 'Saturday Night Fever', 'Children Of The World' and other albums. The bonus tracks to fill out the double disc are reorchestrations of some of the original tunes which may make your hair stand up on end. For their real greatest hits package, go for 'Their Greatest Hits - The Record' which is incredibly good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Stayin' Alive, September 18, 2007

This review is from: Bee Gees Greatest (Audio CD)

The music of the 1970's remains as distinctive and classic for the past several years. With great acts like The Police and Genesis who've recently reunited as well, it seems like classic music from the past has a noble re-introduction with reunions everywhere. That is also said through the music of the Bee Gees. Although it is very sad that it has been over four years since the heartbreaking death of Maurice Gibb, the brothers distinctive sound has been reintroduced to a whole new generation for die hard fans, and for those who seem to really be more into Paris Hilton, and those overexposed rap artists. Now, a returning hits records has still shown the Gibb brothers music is still as lively as ever.

The 2007 re-release of the Bee Gees double album Greatest, spans the group through the history of their second era of hits, the 1970's. The collection includes some great tracks that are just delightful to, as well as a few extra remixed versions of classic Bee Gees songs. The album has been remastered very well, and is the first time the album has seen the light of day in several years, since the Bee Gees catalog was recently moved from Universal, to Warner Brothers last year. The album includes some really great tracks including th soulful How Deep Is your Love, Jive Talkin', the often overlooked Nights On Broadway, and the classic #1 dance smash Stayin' Alive from Saturday Night Fever. Although, there are a lot of tracks that've been remixed here well, I honestly wish the album could've included I've Started A Joke, and a few other great classic songs.

All in all, while there have been so many Bee Gees greatest hits albums released the past several years from 2004's Number Ones, to 2005's Love Songs, Greatest stays true to the core as being a definitive hits album for new fans of The Bee Gees, and a reminder for longtime fans what classic guilty pleasures still sound like today. I absolutely recommend this as a great addition to your music library. It still shows classics are always Stayin' Alive.
