Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

This 4-CD box-set is a retrospective of the Bee Gees' career from 1967 to 1990. At the beginning, they were the new Beatles, with unforgettable hits like "World", "New York Mining Disaster, 1941", "Words" and "I've Gotta Get A Message To You". As well as a trio of effortlessly brilliant songwriters, the group had three distinctive vocalists in the brothers Gibb, and those majestic, big-ballad sound, if anything, more imposing today than they did over 30 years ago. The early 1970s were not kind to the brothers, but with 1978's all-conquering Saturday Night Fever and the hits "Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever" and "Tragedy" they were reborn as Disco Kings. Such disco fever may be mocked today but, at the time, the Bee Gees' harmonies and sassy, street-wise melodies proved an unbeatable concoction. Just the extraordinary span of their career would be enough to put the Bee Gees up there with Abba and The Beatles, but they are also consummate pop craftsmen; indeed only Lennon & McCartney have enjoyed more American No. 1s than Barry Gibb.

As well as all the hits ("Run To Me", "How Deep Is Your Love", "You Win Again") room is found here for good but less-familiar songs like "The Singer Sang His Song" and "My World". Tales From The Brothers Gibb offers a luxurious overview of the Bee Gees' career as well as some revealing insights--like the fact that "To Love Somebody" was originally envisaged for Otis Redding, and that the haunting "Morning of My Life" was written at the Wagga Wagga Police Boys Club! --Patrick Humphries

5.0 out of 5 stars I've(Bee Gees) Gotta Get a Message to You, July 9 2004
This review is from: 1967-1990 Tales From The Brot (Audio CD)
Tales from the Brother Gibbs surely showed their talent in their carrer from the start till 1990. There's five comments i want to make:
1) Full and Nice
2) Great biography inside the box set (or book set).
3) Includes comments for every song.
4) A great discography.
5) With a book for pianist and guitarist to play the songs in the book edition.

Best record ever!

3.0 out of 5 stars a must for EARLY bee gees fans, Mar 8 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: 1967-1990 Tales From The Brot (Audio CD)
I absolutely LOVE the work the bee gees did from 1967 - 1973. Gloriously orchestral pop on par with the Beatles and the Left Banke. The post-1974 stuff however... well let's just say I like to call it aural vomit.

That said, this box set is a MUST for any fans of the pre-disco B.G.'s, as it contains many songs from that period that were never released on albums ("Jumbo", "Sinking Ships", "Singer Sang His Song", etc.). In fact aside from the original 45's, I think this box set is the only place you can get these songs.

So for any fans of brilliant albums like "Horizontal" or "Odessa", this box set is pricey but it is essential. Find a used copy somewhere!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bee Gees Box Set Is Superb!, Jan 29 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: 1967-1990 Tales From The Brot (Audio CD)
I like The Bee Gees music whether it's "To Love Somebody" or "Night Fever". In my opinion, this box set was done right for many reasons:
1) Four CDs is just perfect, not too short or too long.
2) It shows the many different sides of The Bee Gees whether it's the 1960s "Beatles-flavored" tunes or the 1970s disco.
3) It has virtually all the hits (except "Living Eyes" most notable and maybe some individual work)
4) It has enough rare songs that have not been available before and/or on CD.
5) It is sequence correctly (disc #1 [1967-1970] - "first heydey", disc #2 [1970-1974] - "up and down, peaks and valleys", disc #3 [1975-1979] - "second heydey", disc #4 [1981-1990] - "the 1980s").
6) If you purchase this, then it will save you from buying their previous "greatest hits" albums and most of their studio albums (the only album I recommend is "Main Course").
7) The packaging is great with never before seen photos and comments on every song.

Highly recommended for the Bee Gees fan. For the casual fan, get "Gold" and/or "Greatest".
