If you are a Bee Gees fan, you'll want to check this one out. This CD represents The Bee Gees before the fame. From ballads like "Cherry Red", "Don't Say Goodbye","In The Morning", and "I Don't Think It's Funny", to rockers like "I Want Home", "You Wouldn't Know", "Peace Of Mind", and "To Be Or Not To Be", and covers of songs like "You Won't See Me", "Can't You See That She's Mine", "The End", and "Every Day I Have To Cry". 63 great tracks in all, this is the ultimate early Bee Gees package. The booklet that comes with this is very informative and interesting. If you're curious as to how the Bee Gees were before they became stars, this package is the one to get. Worth every cent, and a 10-star rating as well.

With so many budget albums out there that have the early recordings of The Bee Gees in various combinations, it seemed difficult to get them all without having to many duplicates.
This double album makes it easy. Not all songs are all that great, but you can certainly follow the development of the typical early Bee Gees sound. I also like the cover versions of Lennon & McCartney songs they do on this album.
So if you want the very early stuff, buy this one - you won't need any other then.

Three Kisses Of Love, The BeeGees Sing And Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs, Claustrophobia, Spicks and Specks, etc... all early albums/ compliations. And many many more. I had 3 of them before I finally found this, which has every single early recording of the BeeGees before theycame out with First. I Want Home, How Love Was True, You Wouldn't Know, I Was A Lover A Leader Of Men, Claustrophobia, and Big Chance some of my favorites. A couple of the tracks are not theirs. Just One Look and Daydream. Maybe that's why they don't sound that great, knowing it's not theirs. But still, forget about all those other compilations. Save some money and get this. You'll have all of them in one.
