Their Greatest Hits: The Record

Their Greatest Hits: The Record is not just a compilation, but the definitive sonic biography of one of the most successful and influential bands in the history of popular music. Released in 2001 by Polydor and Universal, this double CD uniquely encompasses the impressive writing and performing oeuvre of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, spanning more than three decades of superb creativity.

The collection takes the listener on a fascinating musical journey — from the early psychedelic pop ballads of the late 1960s such as "Massachusetts", "To Love Somebody" and "Words", through the inimitable disco fever of the late 1970s with the iconic themes "Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever", "More Than a Woman" and "How Deep Is Your Love", to the later global pop hits of the late 1980s and 1990s such as "You Win Again" and "Alone". The special value of the edition is given by the recent recordings of those songs that the Gibb brothers originally wrote for other artists, but for the purposes of this retrospective they recorded them themselves, such as the timeless hits "Islands in the Stream", "Heartbreaker" and "Immortality".

With its impeccable production, recognizable three-part harmonies and the falsetto for which they have become globally recognizable, this release is an indispensable part of any real music collection and a perfect introduction to the rich legacy of the pop giants.
