5.0 out of 5 stars This classic Bee Gees disco era hits package is finally given a proper remastering,with a few surprises thrown in!!!, September 22, 2007

By	Jason Pumphrey (Falls Church, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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

By	W. Grandy (windsor, nova scotia Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Collection Remastered & Revamped!, September 20, 2007

By	Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is only "some" of the Bee Gees hits, representing the best songs they recorded from 1975 to 1979. Big Hits before 1975 are ignored. There are nine #1 songs, half a dozen other top ten hits and some popular covered versions. Only four can truly be considered disco songs. A nice blend of dance numbers, ballads, B-Sides, "R & B" and occasional great album cuts; this is a wonderful collection. The only single to be ignored is the funky, "Boogie Child" (?), but all is forgiven. "Warm Ride" makes it debut here and is a remarkable song.

Special treats include the first released Bee Gees version of "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" and the country flavored "Rest Your Love On Me", a Top 40 country hit.

This was the Bee Gees third #1 album in a row and is a great five year feat.

The new remixed versions of "Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever", "How Deep Is Your Love" and "If I Can't Have You" make this the ultimate collection of classic songs from the late seventies. The Bee Gees really did influence dance music during this period.

P.S. To the Amazon Editor: "Too Much Heaven" and "Love You Inside Out" were top singles and 'not bland'. Go wash your mouth out.
