5.0 out of 5 starsThe Fab Three's Biggest Sixties Hits
By Steve Vrana HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on May 22, 2000
Format: Audio CD
When the Bee Gees first charted in 1967 with "New York Mining Disaster, 1941," Barry Gibb was 19 and his twin brothers Robin and Maurice were 17. Despite their youth, their Beatles-inspired pop would return them to the Top 40 seven more times over the next two years and they're all here.
For this aging Baby-Boomer, this is the Bee Gees at their best--not a disco song in sight--just the Gibb brothers' voices wrapped around timeless melodies like "To Love Somebody," "Holiday," Massachusetts," "Words" and "I've Gotta Get a Message to You." ["I Started a Joke" is an equally exquisite song, but am I the only one completely baffled by the lyrics?]
As has been noted earlier, this is not exactly the original Best of the Bee Gees released in 1969. "Spicks and Specks" (which topped the charts in Australia before the band broke out in the U.S.) has been replaced by the duet "Tomorrow Tomorrow' (a minor hit at #73 and recorded during Robin's two-year hiatus from the group). [Attention Polygram: Why only 12 tracks and 37 minutes? Couldn't you have left "Spicks and Specks" on the disc? And while you're at it, why not also add the minor hit "Jumbo" (#57) from 1968?]
After getting this CD, get Best of Vol. 2 and you'll have all of the big hits and also-rans from the pre-disco Bee Gees. [Note: Vol. 2 has a more generous 14 tracks and runs nearly sixty minutes.]
If you're old enough to remember the Bee Gees before they became the reigning kings of disco in the Seventies, this is a must-have purchase. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 starsOnly Stigwood Knew the Potential!
By Marty From SF HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on December 15, 2000
Format: Audio CD
Released in 1969 when the three brothers were in the midst of a breakup, this collection represents not just the singles, but the very best they had to offer from four albums. While most of the songs are culled from "Bee Gees 1st" ("NY Mining Diaster 1941", "Holiday" and the much copied "To Love Somebody"), the rest are singles hits. There is the obvious omission of "Jumbo", a strange break in style for the group and the inclusion of their first international single "Spicks & Specks". When released as a CD, "Spick & Specks" was replaced by the overlooked ballad "Tomorrow, Tomorrow". So many artists have copied these songs it reaches into the hundreds and there is an urgency present that will make you nod your head in delight when you realize the incredible foresight that manager Robert Stigwood possessed. In the CD transition, Polydor had remastered "Spicks & Specks" into stereo, but held it back. With so many songs to be chosen, it's a wonder that most albums of that period were limited to twelve songs or why this CD was limited as well. Regardless, it reflects a fresh, crisp blooming of genius that few knew at the time would reach so far.

5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome Sixties Pop
By Robert Moore HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on August 15, 2001
Format: Audio CD
The Bee Gees's hits from SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER are now considered oldies, but a decade before that movie and album, they were producing some of the finest pop of the sixties. THE BEST OF THE BEE GEES, Vol. 1 collects their finest singles from that period. I actually like SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, but to me the true BEST of the Bee Gees will be these incredible singles.
There are two reasons that this album stands out. The first is their extraordinary harmony singing. Like so many other brothers' singing acts (the Shoes, the Louvin Brothers, and, of course, the Everly Brothers), their voices just blend together better than most others' voices.
The second reason for their success are the excellent songs. All of the songs are at least decent, and several are masterpieces. "Holiday," "Words," "To Love Somebody," and "Massachusetts" are classics that have been recorded over and over by various recording artists over the years.
I am not sure that all fans of the later music of the Bee Gees will love this album, but I know that all fans of sixties pop will adore it.

5.0 out of 5 starsEnough for a career even without their later successes.
By Eric V. Moye on October 31, 1999
Format: Audio CD
Perhaps best appreciated with the perspective of recalling how poingant these songs were when they were first being heard. Nonetheless, those who remember the Bee Gees as disco (or post disco craze), need to take a listen to this compilation of their early work.
An outstanding compilation of songs with one vision - unconditional love. Their orchestration, which included strings, trumpets and even a harp was unmatched by anyone at the time, and was a harbinger of things the Moody Blues were to do later at another level. Even a wall of sound that Phil Specter could love was never strong enough to overwhelm great vocal work.
The lucky ones of us (read: us old heads)can never hear "Words", "I Can't See Nobody", "First of May", "Tomorrow, Tomorrow" and of course "To Love Somebody" without the most delicious heartache.
A must own!

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat--though short--compilation of first great Bee Gees era
By David Pearlman TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on December 3, 1999
Format: Audio CD
This is a reissue of the first Bee Gees best-of album, which covers only their early, lush pop era. Later converts be forwarned: There is nothing approaching a danceable song on this album. This is pop, and nothing but pop. But what great pop. There are more than a few bonafied standards on this set, including "Words", "I Started a Joke", "To Love Somebody" ,etc. This material is more than enough to justify an entire career.
Two complaints about this collection: 1) It's short--just 12 tracks. That was fine in the vinyl era, but is very chintzy in the CD age. A more complete single CD compilation combining the best of "Best Of" vols 1 and 2 would be a fairer deal for the consumer. But at least what's here is mostly top-notch. 2) Although this CD sports the same cover as the original vinyl album on Atco, one track substitution has been made: Spicks and Specks has been replaced by Tomorrow, Tomorrow. This is an unfortunate substitution, but was probably required due to licensing problems for the original track (which was originally issued prior to the Bee Gees signing with RSO).
Those caveots noted, this is still a great listen. The one star this has been docked is for the shortness of the comp.
